Favorite Ian Hunter album?

[RandomKoolzip]

Poll question: Favorite Ian Hunter album?

Mine is "You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic." Good album, better title.

[DemOperative]

1. which is the one with the tide on the beach?

and his head is like half buried?

[johnnie]

2. Mine is "Ian Hunter"

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.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Yer shittin' me!

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.

[Bob3]

6. He wrote ships. Barry just Sang it.

N/T

[Wickerman]

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'

[Bob3]

5. I love them all

Except maybe Overnight Angels and All the Good Ones are taken. He was just mailing those in.

Others
Welcome to the Club (3/4 live)
Y u I outra
The Artful Dodger.

(yes I am a huge huge huge fan)

edit. (other albums)

[yardwork]

7. I liked the video for All the Good Ones are Taken

[Bob3]

8. So did I

The rest of the album however - nahhhhh.

[johnnie]

12. Cool

From another big fan :hi:
Have you seen the new live DVD? I'm sure you have.

[Osamasux]

11. Has anyone caught his recent tour?

[Blue-Jay]

13. I like the one that RKZ played on.

It was his second-best work to date.

[Wat_Tyler]

14. "You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic"

Let's keep this thread going 'til he gets back.

[Blue-Jay]

15. You read my mind.

[asthmaticeog]

17. That's the one with "Cleveland Rocks" on it.

Hooray - Ian Hunter said something nice about my hometown 30 years ago!

[mitchum]

16. "All Shook Down"...

Hey, it sounded like an Ian Hunter record

21. Don't remember that one - was it a compilation?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Yes - it was part of his "encapsulated in asterisks" series

[Wat_Tyler]

24. We really should leave some messages for Koolzip for when he returns.

34. You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic

[Magrittes Pipe]

35. All American Alien Boy

If you'd included MtheH, I woulda said Rock and Roll Queen.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

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.
