Description: Mott the Hoople were an English glam rock band formed in Herefordshire. Initially named the Doc Thomas Group, the group changed their name after signing with Island Records in 1969. The band released records throughout the early 1970s, all of which failed to achieve commercial success. On the verge of disbanding, the band was encouraged by David Bowie to stay together. Bowie also wrote their signature hit song "All the Young Dudes", which was a major hit in 1972.
