Biography
Herefordshire, England (1968 – 1976)
All The Young Dudes, written by David Bowie and featured in films such as Clueless and Juno.The band was named after a novel by Willard Manus. The book was about a freak show worker named Norman Mott.
Mott the Hoople formed when Silence, a not-too-successful group from the Welsh borders, was joined by session pianist and rock and roll hopeful Ian Hunter along with Mick Ralphs, Verden Allen, Pete Overend Watts and Dale Griffin . They developed from Dylan obsessives to their own character over the course of four albums for Island. They were a very popular live act but only achieved brief commercial success. In 1971 the band was close to splitting up but continued to record track
All The Young Dudes, a song written for them by up and coming pop star and fan David Bowie. Three more albums and several pop hits later the band fell apart when Ian Hunter left in 1974. The remaining members created Mott which released two albums before disbanding in 1976. Original guitarist Ralphs had greater success as member of Bad Company.

kanto_sho : The documentary on BBc 4? Even though the music was too loud for the interviews so you had strain your freakin ears to hear what they were saying. Their first years were the best with the manager from Island.

Always though the 3 opening tracks from 'the Hoople' - the golden age of rock'n'roll, Marionette and Alice, as the best they done. All far better than All The Young Dudes.
