Two DeBaser reviews praise Sweet's heavier glam-era albums, especially Sweet Fanny Adams and Give Us A Wink. Reviewers highlight the band's move from early psychedelic/R&B to a harder glam/hard-rock sound, strong vocals and drums, and use of early synthesizers. The reviews note classic members Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick (Michael) Tucker and mention that Connolly and Tucker have died.

For:Fans of 1970s glam rock, hard rock and early heavy/proto-metal

 "Fanny Adams" is by far the hardest and most distinctive album by the Sweet, and it could almost be defined as a gem from another era: its precocity in sounds is truly marked, given the heavy metal lines and the use of early synthesizers.

 The Sweet, on the other hand, qualitatively superior to Slade and on par with T. Rex, offered an original and unmistakable style.
