    Sweet was a killer band in the 70's and they've been covered by a lot of bands. Can you guys name some of the covers. Here's what I came up with.

    "Action" - Def Leppard, Raven, Black n Blue, Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys

    "Set me free" - Saxon, Vince Neil, Heathen

    "Ballroom Blitz - Krokus, The Damned

    "Fox on The Run" - Girlschool

    "Burn on the Flame" - Kevin Dubrow

    "Little Willy" - Poison

    "Hellraiser" - Def Leppard, Raven

    You've done a comprehensive job there and I can't think of any more.

    This is a job for either Syndrome, Aniseed or the 'S' man. They are very grounded on all things Sweet 8O

    Rock & roll over babe

    Sweet is a awesome band. My dad had a import vinyl when I was a kid and I played that mother until the grooves wore out. Till this day there is not another band like them and they influenced so many artists. Sweet is sweet!
