All The Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople (The Glam Anthem)

submitted by BoneyD

1 decade 6 years 7 months 4 weeks ago

Carry the news, boogaloo dudes!

From Wiki:
"Regarded as one of glam rock's anthems, the song originated after Bowie came into contact with Mott the Hoople's bassist Pete "Overend" Watts and learned that the band was ready to split due to continued lack of commercial success. When Mott rejected his first offer of a composition, "Suffragette City" (from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars), Bowie wrote "All the Young Dudes" in short order specially for them, allegedly on the floor of a London flat in front of the band's lead singer, Ian Hunter."
