Just this morning I read the Wiki page about MtH...I never knew anything about them other than the  "dude's" video on MTV w/ Ian Hunter...(I think I as a t that show in NY at the pier).

Interesting footnote in RnR history

RIP My Griffin

More underrated than Scott the Poople?  I think not.

Mott were a "footnote"? Uhm, mate - they were a tremendous band, and a huge deal in the mid-'70s. Check out any album. I think you'll be very turned on.

And Dale Griffin (aka Buffin) was a monster drummer; he worked for many years as a BBC music engineer who's work can be heard on hundreds of bands 'BBC Sessions' recordings - which recordings are often thought by the bands themselves to be better than their contemporary official albums/singles.
