286. Mott the Hoople - Mott


MottTheHoople UK.jpg

Release Date: 1973
Label: CBS

Every so often a band will come on to the scene, only to be followed by a thousand inferior copycat acts as record labels throw their chequebook around in a panic, worried about missing out on the next big thing. There are also the bands, or people who are made famous on the back of another's success. This is the kind of band Mott the Hoople seem to be. Their hit, All The Young Dudes, sounds so much like David Bowie (it was written by him of course) that it makes you just want to go and listen to 'Hunky Dory'. I really didn't see the point of this being here.
