My second Favorite is "All American Alien Boy". This is a little freaky...I was going to do this poll earlier today, but got sidetracked.

Nice!
Recent events have made me think of that album title a lot. I shan't go into detail.
I woulda included Mott the Hoople stuff, but the list woulda been too long.

4. Voted never alone but could've gone Shades |
|
I love his version of Ships. I first heard it right around the time Barry Manilow had a hit of it - bizarro-weird land.

9. yeah, I realized I wrote it wrong after I posted |
|
too lazy to change it. I don't think Barry wrote much of his crap, he just destroyed good songs.
The only thing he ever did that I appreciated was Brandy on his boxset. He keeps screwing up Mandy, singing the original lyric, Brandy. Puts the whole shitty song in context.

10. Barry did write that old McDonald's jingle |
|
"McDonald's is your kind of place...."
So make it two decent things he ever wrote, then canceled out entirely by subjecting the world to 'Copa Cabana'

I have been an Ian Hunter (Mott) fan since 1971! I was SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, to see this poll.
The first solo album is a masterwork. This guy was the best singer with a bad voice in the history of rock! So stylized, but at times couldn't carry a tune if you attached a handle to it, and it was still good! A remarkable ability!
I still have every Mott album and all but one Ian albums, all converted to CD. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mott albums were my raison d'etre as a young rock musician. (I switched from playing exclusively jazz piano to singing in a rock band when i was 17.) I wanted to act like Bowie, and rock like Mott!
Thanks RKZ, for resurrecting some good memories. The Professor
