Join Grant and the panel as they tackle "Mott the Hoople (1969) & Mad Shadows (1970).
Mott the Hoople was a British rock band formed in 1969 in Herefordshire, England.
Formation: The band was initially formed by guitarist Mick Ralphs and vocalist Stan Tippins, with Ian Hunter joining as lead vocalist shortly after. Other key members included bassist Pete "Overend" Watts and drummer Dale "Buffin" Griffin.
Early Years: Their early music was influenced by blues rock and hard rock. They gained some recognition with their cover of Doug Sahm's "At the Crossroads" but struggled for commercial success initially.
Breakthrough: Their career took a significant turn when David Bowie offered them his song "All the Young Dudes" in 1972. This song became their biggest hit, defining the glam rock era and bringing them mainstream success.
Albums: Notable albums include "Mott" (1973) and "The Hoople" (1974), which showcased their transition towards a more theatrical and dynamic sound.
Legacy: Mott the Hoople's influence on rock music, especially glam rock, has been significant. They are remembered for their energetic performances and Ian Hunter's distinctive songwriting. They've had several reunions, most notably in 2009 and 2013.
Cultural Impact: Their name, taken from a novel by Willard Manus, has become synonymous with a certain era of British rock, and their music continues to be celebrated for its authenticity and flair.
