| Mott the Hoople:
Early 70s British R&B band connected with David Bowie, who wrote "All the Young Dudes", their only big hit, and Queen, who opened for them on an American tour before Queen was well known. OK, they're a little obscure, but everyone around in the 70s remembers All the Young Dudes, and really, it's not a name you forget.
