It looks like Mott the Hoople are back together, at least for two nights. The original lineup of Ian Hunter, Mick Ralphs, Verden Allen, Dale Griffin and Overend Watts will play London's Hammersmith Apollo on February 2 and 3 to celebrate their 40th anniversary. There's no word on the potential for further gigs.NPR will broadcast the new Bruce Springsteen album, Working on a Dream, in its enti...

Hey, this is wholly unexpected news, but I'll take it. Longtime old Brit rock faves Mott the Hoople are reuniting (reports Billboard ) for their 40th anniversary of their 1969 start. Billboard writes "Mott has scheduled two shows, October 2nd and 3rd, at London's famed HMV Apollo (formerly the Hammersmith Apollo)." The original lineup is said to be set to go. Singer-guitarist Ian Hunter le...

The album that inspired David Bowie to create Ziggy Stardust. After you've heard it, you'll wonder how you could have overlooked it for so long.

What I am thankful for this New Year (maybe I am mixing up holidays) is that I finally GOT Mott The Hoople.

After a couple of tries I was able to add the "last songs played" list to my page. For awhile I was getting a Chamillionaire track listed. The identity code of a song I was playing must've matched up with that of Herr Chamillionaire's track or some other Computer Mystery like that happened. It's gone now and my precious, precious credibility is now safe again. So I can show my recent faves ...

After a relatively calm and contemplative 16 bar piano intro, Mott's last of their 4 pre-glam albums kicks off with"Thunderbuck Ram" shift into high gear as Mick Ralphs guitar and vocal work strain to envision the future Bad Company. Come back and hear this track when MOG gets the mp3 functionality sobbered up.In the meantime, here's some great sounds from the early 70's, and a nice little film...

Mott The Hoople's box set was released in September of 1998. Three years in the making, it covers Mott's entire career, from early incarnations as The Buddies (1964), Doc Thomas Group (1966) and The Shakedown Sound (1968), through the Island years, the CBS years, right through to the end as Mott and British Lions (1978). More than just a collection of their hits, this lavish 3-CD set includes...

Don't forget. Mott the Hoople represented the very best of the working man's side of the glam movement. Where did all the 96 decible freaks go? Who are the loud bands nowadays?? God, I miss dancing. And fighting for a place in the front row (until it became too easy...) The smash sensations are so watered down or melodramatic lately. Not naming names. It's all in your mind. The golden age of ro...

...that no one has posted this cover on MOG at some point. As a young man of 16, I was searching for my musical identity. That is - my rock n' roll identity. My friends were heavily into the Beatles and the Stones - but, for me, The Beatles were inaccesible, the Stones were sloppy and darkly non-understandable. This was '72, The Beatles weren't even a band, and the Stones were so darkly drug in...

If someone posed the rather juvenile query "what's you're favorite rock band of all time?", no doubt I would answer Mott. I mean, even after stellar strummer Mick Ralphs left the band to be replaced by ex-Spooky Tooth Luther Grosvener (who changed his name to "Ariel Bender" just for this band??) - and - they let bassist Overend Watts step to the mike(on this cut); they still left an impression ...
