Mott The Hopple

An influential English glam/hard rock band from the late '60s/early '70s, famous for David Bowie writing their hit "All the Young Dudes" to prevent their breakup, blending raw rock with thoughtful lyrics, and featuring members like Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs. The band's unusual name came from a Willard Manus novel about an eccentric "hoople" (a foolish, unconventional person) and was adopted under their manager Guy Stevens' guidance, marking their transition from the band Silence to glam rock icons.
