I chose California Nights, it's a catchy little ditty.
Even though they go against everything I like in music I've always liked Sweet. I went to a Foghat concert where Sweet
and Cheap Trick opened for them. Cheap Trick stole the show but Sweet was a close second.....Foghat sucked!

A group who, once they shook off the teenybop cloak, became a fine rock band...
Impossible to pick a winner from their golden years (73-75), they were all pretty tasty...

I'm a little bit surprised "Love is like Oxygen" is leading in votes.

Why are you surprised? It was a big hit for them. "Oxygen" & "Ballroom Blitz" were their biggest hits. Yeah, they had others but those two are the ones that most people know.

Why are you surprised?
Because "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy" and "Fox on the run" charted higher in the U.S. & Canada than "Love is like Oxygen".
