- The Basics
Yes, that's David Bowie sprinkling stardust over the glam rock standard "All the Young Dudes". His shadow hovers over Mott the Hoople's metallic-swagger rattle 'n' roll, as does that of prime mover Ian Hunter, and the band shines brightly in the soul-draped foreground of "Foxy Foxy" as well as the string-backed wallop of "Marionette".

All the glitter in the world couldn't save Mott the Hoople from themselves in their pre-Bowie years (1969-71), a tumultuous time that nearly broke up the band prematurely. Thankfully, they channeled their cynicism and frustration into Zeppelin-sized sludge-metal ("Thunderbuck Ram") and the Dylan-esque "At the Crossroads".

They lasted about as long as the glam-rock era they epitomized on the landmark single "All the Young Dudes", but that in no way diminishes the lingering aftertaste of Mott the Hoople's inspired hard-rock platters. Many say they were actually a precursor to punk and the Clash, due to their inflammatory live shows (a riot broke out at one such show back in '71), combustible spouts of creativity, and unforeseen fusion of Dylan-caliber wit and arena-accessible heavy metal.
