Mott the Hoople
Mott the Hoople's music was a unique mix of muscular rock and fey sensibilities, caught between glam rock and a hard place.
The band's first singer, Stan Tippens, was fired, and later resurfaced as the group's road manager.
Like Procol Harum, Mott the Hoople was named by impresario Guy Stevens. This time a Willard Manus novel was the inspiration.
Singer Ian Hunter was known as much for his ever-present sunglasses as he was for his snarling, Dylan-esque vocals.
Fans know almost every intimate detail of Mott the Hoople's career, thanks to Hunter's tome, "Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star."
