Mott The Hoople: Mott

Simon Frith, Let It Rock, October 1973

MOTT IS THE ALBUM All The Young Dudes should have been; arrogant, defensive. The Hoople are the first people to go on the Bowie ego-trip and come out the other side, burned but still sane and making the best music they ever have.

Total word count of piece: 518
