Mott the Hoople

Musical Group

English rock band formed in 1969, known for the 1972 album All the Young Dudes (title track written by David Bowie) and their contributions to early glam rock.

Key members included Ian Hunter (vocals, piano), Mick Ralphs (guitar), Verden Allen (keyboards), Pete Overend Watts (bass) and Dale 'Buffin' Griffin (drums). David Bowie wrote and produced the title track/album "All The Young Dudes"; Mick Ralphs later co-founded Bad Company.

DeBaser reviewers praise Mott the Hoople's early-70s albums, especially All the Young Dudes, Brain Capers and Mott. They highlight Ian Hunter's Dylan-esque vocals, Mick Ralphs' bluesy guitar and the band's glam-rock energy. David Bowie's involvement (writing/producing "All The Young Dudes") and Ralphs' later formation of Bad Company are noted.

For:Fans of 1970s glam rock and classic rock album enthusiasts

 As with all well-done works, there isn’t a track to throw away in "Mott,"

 The song is "All The Young Dudes," it will give the title to the album that Bowie will produce, also appearing as a musician with his saxophone.

 I discovered Mott The Hoople through indirect paths, as I never found anyone who talked about them, no one who even accidentally knew one of their songs.
