专辑介绍
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Just at the moment Mott the Hoople were calling it a day, David Bowie swooped in and convinced them to stick around. Bowie spearheaded an image makeover, urging them to glam themselves up. He gave them a surefire hit with "All the Young Dudes," had them cover his idol's "Sweet Jane," and produced All the Young Dudes, the album that was designed to make them stars. Lo and behold, it did, which is as much a testament to Bowie's popularity as it is to his studio skill. Not to discount his assistance, since his production results in one of the most satisfying glam records and the title track is one of the all-time great rock songs, but the album wouldn't have worked if Mott hadn't already found its voice on Brain Capers. True, Dudes isn't nearly as wild as its predecessor, but the band's swagger is unmistakable underneath the flair and Ian Hunter remains on a songwriting roll, with "Momma's Little Jewel," "Sucker," and "One of the Boys" standing among his best. Take a close look at the credits, though -- these were all co-written by his bandmates, and the other highlight, "Ready for Love/After Lights," is penned entirely by Mick Ralphs, who would later revive the first section with Bad Company. The entire band was on a roll here, turning out great performances and writing with vigor. They may not be as sexy as either Bowie or Bolan, but they make up for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, and terrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the defining glam platters.

- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：70年代重要的华丽摇滚乐队，主唱是Ian Hunter，主吉他手是被称为“华丽摇滚吉他之父”的Mick Ronson，后者在David Bowie的《Ziggy Stardust》中有非常精彩的表演。该乐队成立于1969年，虽然很有自己的风格水平，但是商业上总是不太成功，结果到了1972年就已经面临解散的危机。这时他们的一位fans挺身而出，为他们创作了一些优秀的歌曲，这个fans就是大名鼎鼎的David Bowie。1972年的这张All the Young Dudes让乐队暂时走出了危机，同名主打歌成为70年代著名的流行歌曲。不过由于这首歌是David Bowie所作，有人甚至误以为Mott the Hoople是David Bowie领导的乐队。Ian Hunter等乐队成员对此当然很有想法，到了1973年，乐队一张厚积薄发的Mott终于在英美两地都获得成功，同时乐队也赢得了一些国际听众。
