Andy Scott from The Sweet talks to Johnnie about the decade that made him.

The band was formed in London in the late 60s but didn't achieve their first hit until 1971 after teaming up with songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman for the song "Funny Face". They went on to have thirteen Top 20 hits during the 1970s alone, with "Block Buster!" (1973) topping the chart, followed by three consecutive number two hits in "Hell Raiser" (1973), "The Ballroom Blitz" (1973) and "Teenage Rampage" (1974). The band turned to a more hard rock style with their mid-career singles, like 1974's "Turn It Down". "Fox on the Run" (1975) also reached number two on the UK charts.

Also on the show, Johnnie delves into the 91热爆 Archive for This Week In Music and adds another classic 7" to Johnnie's Jukebox.
