Sweet Fanny Adams (album)

Sweet Fanny Adams is the second studio album by English glam rock band Sweet, released on 26 April 1974 through RCA Records.

Composition
A turning point for the band, it features more of a hard rock sound than the bubblegum of their previous works. "Rebel Rouser" and "Peppermint Twist" are exceptions to this. The album has elements of psychedelia, while "Set Me Free" is a proto-speed metal song, and "Sweet F.A." has lyrics that foreshadow punk rock. Sweet Fanny Adams features compressed high-pitched backing vocal harmonies, a trend that continued on all of Sweet's albums. ==Legacy==
Legacy
The late 1980s Indiana-based glam metal band Sweet F.A., which released a pair of major-label albums in 1989 and 1991, named themselves after the Sweet song. English rock group Love and Rockets titled their 1996 album Sweet F.A.. "AC-DC" was covered by American rock band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in 2006 on their 11th album Sinner as "A.C.D.C.", Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil also covered the song on his third solo album Tattoos & Tequila as "AC/DC". "Set me Free" was covered by English heavy metal band Saxon in 1984 on their 6th album Crusader. ==Track listing==
