Brain Capers - Mott the Hoople. Their glam "All the Young Dudes" and follow up "Mott" get all the accolades, but BC is often over-looked. The Guy Steven's get everything in one take production is very rough around the edges but resulted in some awesome proto-punk moments like "Death May Be You Santa Claus". In 1970, Mick Ralph's riffing was considered quite brutal, and by today's standard, is still very energetic.
