Mott the Hoople bola britská rocková skupina aktívna v 70. rokoch, preslávená svojím glam rockovým zvukom a väzbami na R&B. Najznámejšia je vďaka skladbe All the Young Dudes, ktorú pre kapelu napísal a produkoval jej fanúšik David Bowie a ktorá sa stala ich prvým hitom v roku 1972.
Kompilácia Original Album Classics vyšla v roku 2009 u vydavateľstva Columbia na piatich CD a zhromažďuje pôvodné štúdiové albumy skupiny vrátane prelomového All the Young Dudes z roku 1972.
