I was listening to some Mott the Hoople recently, the album "Mott" is one of those great hard rock albums of the 70`s written on the road about tales of the road, the kind of thing you just don`t hear anymore.

The only negative for me, is that the group always get lumped in with the glam rock mob of the day.
