Released 50 years ago today, Mott the Hoople's first album without guitarist and sounding board Mick Ralphs still delivers glammy punchy rock with Ian Hunter virtually alone at the helm. The hits hit hard, including the piano driven rave-up "The Golden Age of Rock & Roll" featuring a throwback '50s horn section, and the undeniable orgiastic strut of "Roll Away the Stone." - Zac Johnson
