    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    How can you have "pop" without the Monkees?

    We can't talk without "pop" without paying homage to the greatest in "Glam pop"... The Sweet

    Here's "Little Willie", the best of the best in "Glam".

    The thing about this particular genre of music is that is wasn't sending any great social messages or intended to provoke introspective navel gazing. It was just three and a half minutes of fun.

    In this day and age, we need more of that. So, once again... the Sweet.





    The truly amazing thing about these is that today, almost 50 years later in some cases, they are as fresh and fun as they were on the day they were released and if you grew up in that era, you can still remember the lyrics to every one of them, even if you haven't heard them in twenty years.
