Customer Reviews:

The most underrated band of all time.......2005-09-03

Ask the man on the street about Mott the Hoople. Chances are, they'll do one of two things. Either a), they'll say, "Who?" or b) they'll think for a few minutes and reply, "They did All the Young Dudes, right?"
Although this is the only Mott the Hoople CD I own, I listen to it all the time. All the Young Dudes is great, but not the only great one. All the Way From Memphis, Roll Away the Stone, Ballad of Mott and Sweet Jane can also fall into that category. My favorite is either Memphis or Young Dudes.
A good overview of the most underrated band of all time.

Soaring Seventies Rock.......2003-02-14

Mott made great music in the early seventies with their blend of hard, almost metal-rock and intelligent lyrics. All The Way From Memphis is a typical rock `n roll road saga, Hymn For The Dudes is quite tender, almost spiritual, All The Young Dudes is their stunning interpretation of the Bowie composition and Roll Away The Stone is a slab of rollicking rock. The live track Ballad of Mott is a complex, soulful ballad with beautiful organ infusions, The Golden Age Of Rock `n Roll something of a tour de force with its traditional rock riffs and energetic vocals, while while Foxy Foxy is an impressive power ballad. The album ends on a sad note with Saturday Gigs which is a history of the band and their comments on the changing fashions, including witty remarks about glam rock. Yes, there WAS life before punk.
