	Mott the Hoople
		Mott the Hoople, one of the seminal glam rock bands of the 1970's, established a cult following both in the U.S. and U.K. before disbanding in 1976.
		Fisher's background includes some experience working with punk artists, which is interesting since Mott the Hoople is said to be an influence on many punk rock bands (some say that Mott was one of the few early 1970's bands which remained credible with punks).
		An almost-complete list of all Mott the Hoople albums released in the U.S. and U.K. Some anthologies may have been omitted.

	Mott the Hoople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mott the Hoople were a 1970s British rock and roll band.
		Mott the Hoople (1969) was a cult success, that included memorable cover versions of "Laugh at Me" (Sonny Bono), and an instrumental version of "You Really Got Me" (The Kinks).
		Mott the Hoople's new-found popularity ultimately helped lead to the band's break-up along with an exposé in New Musical Express of Tippens' role in singing the chorus of "All the Young Dudes", from a hidden microphone backstage.

	Mott The Hoople Reviews
		Caught between glam-rock and early heavy metal, Mott the Hoople were both flashy and gritty, melodic and murky, traditionalist and highly influential, literate and primal, a journeyman garage band that infused their whinings of sleazy rock'n'roll roadlife with nobility and glamour.
		Mott was originally brought together by the legendary Guy Stevens, who produced their first four albums and was, by the band's own admission, primarily responsible for the musical vision of this era (the band took its name from a book Stevens read while in jail on drug charges).
		In "The Ballad of Mott the Hoople", Hunter recounts the story of how Mott broke up after playing in a converted gas tank in Zurich, mentioning all his bandmates by name, and admitting that playing music for a living is a chump's game but he can't quit.

		Mott the Hoople were a 1970s English rock and roll and glam rock band with strong R&B roots.
		Stevens changed the band's name to "Mott the Hoople" from a novel of the same name by Willard Manus; the book is about an eccentric who works in a circus freak show.

	Rarebird's Mott The Hoople Reviews
		Mott The Hoople -- named after an obscure Willard Manus novel -- are best remembered for a 1972 hit single that was written and produced by David Bowie.
		That statement does make sense; Mott claimed myriad '60's artists as influences (their self-titled 1969 debut album paid homage to everyone from the Kinks to Sonny Bono), and, in turn, several late '70's punk bands (including the Clash and the Sex Pistols) claimed Mott as an influence.
		Mott were well-received on their October 1976 tour of the U.K., but Benjamin quit the band just when things were looking up.

		Mott the Hoople are one of the great also-rans in the history of rock & roll.
		At the center of Mott the Hoople was lead vocalist/pianist Ian Hunter, a late addition to the band who developed into its focal point as his songwriting grew.
		The live record was released after The Hoople appeared in the spring, peaking at 11 in the U.K. and 28 in the U.S. on the strength of the singles "The Golden Age of Rock & Roll" and "Foxy Foxy." Former Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson replaced Bender in the fall of 1974 upon Hunter's request.

	GLAMROCK/MOTT THE HOOPLE
		With Ian Hunter on vocals, the band was rechristened Mott the Hoople (the name was taken from a Willard Manus novel), and went into the studio to record their first, self-titled album.
		Mott the Hoople thus became a centerpiece in the short-lived early-seventies lip-gloss-'n'-mascara, glitter/glam-rock scene.
		Nevertheless, Mott the Hoople was still one of the best live bands around, as underscored by the fact that in May 1974 they became the first band ever to play on Broadway (in the Uris Theater).

	Mott The Hoople
		Mott The Hoople were never glam's personification - that honour was left to T. Rex or Bowie.
		Mott The Hoople were never a particularly impressive band.
		Not that Mott weren't aware of this - they were, and always made a point of their, ahem, 'incompetency' - hinting at their rebellion against prog idols of the time, and, after all, quite a few fans liked them exactly for the reason they couldn't play like Steve Howe or Keith Emerson.

	NewBeats: Mott the Hoople
		There had been many glitter rock acts from the early '70s, but Mott the Hoople was the definitive glitter rock band.
		Led by the charismatic raconteur Ian Hunter and guitarist Mick Ralphs (later of Bad Company), Mott were a bunch of hooligans, albeit lovable ones, who defined the bad boy aesthetic: that being in a rock and roll band meant having a good time but also examining the emotional toll it takes.
		Mott will be forever known for two of their greatest songs here on this best-of, the roly poly "All the Way From Memphis" and the glitter/gay anthem "All The Young Dudes." Rock and roll was never this ballsy and fun before Mott came along.

		After a change of lead vocalists to Ian Hunter, the band changed their name to Mott the Hoople and proceeded to cut their first album titled Mott the Hoople.
		In fact just a year earlier than this the band was about to break up when none other than David Bowie insisted they stay together and wrote the song "All The Young Dudes" which came out under an album of the same name and became their very first top 40 hit.

	Mott The Hoople Live - Mott the Hoople
		Mott the Hoople are nowhere near as dumb as their name -- despite Ian Hunter's occasionally heavy-handed stabs at Dylanesque stardom, the band has maintained enough good sense to realize that its meal ticket is hard-assed, gut-bucket rock & roll.
		In light of this realization Mott's current stage presentation is lean on the introspective ballads Hunter has favored of late and heavy on the earlier hard-rock collaborations of Hunter and Mick Ralphs -- tunes that both attracted the band's early cult following and cemented its mass acceptance with
		Throughout the record his guitar playing is obnoxiously heavy-handed and frequently devoid of any identifiable traces of sensitivity, yet it's a sheer joy to hear as it propels, prods and challenges the rest of the band.

	Mott - Mott the Hoople - Music Reviews
		All the Young Dudes actually brought Mott the Hoople success, but you wouldn't know that from its sequel, Mott.
		Ian Hunter's songs are a set of road tales fraught with exhaustion, disillusionment, and dashed dreams, all told with a wry sense of humor so evident on Mott's earlier work.
		To top it all off, Hunter writes the best lament for rock ever with "Ballad of Mott the Hoople," a song that conveys just how heartbreaking rock & roll is for the average band.

		But to me, they were all equally Mott the Hoople.
		I believe it was Ian Hunter's plan to bring Mick Ronson on board, finish any obligations as Mott, ditch the rest of the band and regroup as The Ian Hunter Band.
		The rest of the Mott the Hoople band carried on as "Mott" (as opposed to "Not the Hoople"), then reformed as The British Lions.

	Blogcritics.org: Mott the Hoople
		For a time between '72 and '74 Mott the Hoople was the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, combining underlying '50s Chuck/Little Richard/Jerry Lee impulses, Dylanesque wordplay, massive British Invasion power chords, a glammy pre-punk sensibility, and a compulsion to accurately chronicle the rock 'n' roll lifestyle with the force of MYTH.
		Marty, Marty, Marty, Mott the Hoople was the anti-Queen: totally unpretentious, organic, working class but literate, centered on songs not sonics, rock 'n' roll not arena rock, MUCH more like the Dolls than like Queen.
		Hoople has a CD reissue of Two Miles from Heaven, their rarities compilation for if you can't afford the box set.

		It seemed a post-glitter breakthrough, debunking superstardom and demythologizing rock: "Rock 'n' roll's a loser's game." But since then Hunter and Mott the Hoople have themselves become stars, and unfortunately...
		Mott the Hoople started out as an uneven, hard-rock Dylanesque curiosity but ended as a glitter-age group.
		Mott also gave rise to the solo career of songwriter Ian Hunter [see entry].

		Frontman Ian Hunter's rambling, Dylan-influenced commentaries on his youthful followers' hedonistic lifestyle were balanced by guitarist Mick Ralphs' thunderous, compact rock tunes, and the whole campy, self-referential silliness of it all was plenty of fun while it lasted.
		There's not a heck of a lot about Mott on the web; the best fan site I've seen is Just a Buzz Online, which has a very detailed news section.
		For anyone who knows Mott from its glam rock glory days, the two big surprises here are the quiet, down-tempo arrangements and Mick Ralphs' prominent role.

		This album is a steal, it sums up the pre Dudes Mott brilliantly, this for me was them at their finest.
		I'm not surprised none of Mott the Hoople's seven hit singles make this "best of" compilation, because with the possible exception of "All The Young Dudes", Mott's best work never went anywhere near the singles charts.

		It is impossible to do Mott's or Ian's careers justice in only a handful of paragraphs and, sadly, most of these encyclopedias contain errors (mostly minor, but one or two contain major "howlers").
		Of course, there is Willard Manus' novel Mott The Hoople, which inspired the name, from 1966.
