    All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople is one I think is quite underrated

    Released in the mid-70s, the title track was a big hit and was one of the big glam rock songs but the album itself is actually a bit heavier than that title would suggest. It was produced by David Bowie at the height of his Ziggy Stardust era so it was inevitably linked to that style but I think it stands on it's own. I think it's not just some band copying Bowie's style for profit, they have their own sound.

    Songs like Ready for Love/After Lights, Sea Diver, Sucker and Soft Ground are brilliant. There's also a brilliant cover of the Velvet Underground song Sweet Jane. And then there's the title track which, imo, feels a bit out of place.
