when you have alter ego's and both of them are geniuses

mott the hoople right? another bowie creation

Yes , Ian Hunter was the singer . After they broke up he went solo .

they had another hit "all the way from Memphis" too .

Their first album was my favorite with Bowie's "All the young dudes" and Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" .

"rock n roll" on that 1? or is that the VU? Ever hear john cales "for all the ppl who died"?

A bit of trivia , Mott the Hooples guitarist , Mick Ralphs , ended up in Bad Company .

cool, one of my fav bands
