What are some of your favorite epic rock and roll songs?

[Mott the Hoople]

Hey, Mott, would you consider the song, "The Ballad of Mott the Hoople", BY Mott the Hoople, to be an epic song? I would.

Read the book that inspired the song. It’s hilarious.

Which book is that? Also, I'd ALMOST consider Mott's song, "I Wish I Was Your Mother" epic, as well.

I'd rank Mott the Hoople's album, Mott, in my top 20 rock albums, all-time. There's not a bad track on it. I also like their album, Brain Capers, quite a bit, for its weirdness. And perhaps for one of THE strangest songs titles ever, "Death May Be Your Santa Claus".

Ian Hunter came up with the name for the band (and inspiration for the song) after reading the novel Mott the Hoople.

Since I’m a Buckeye I like Ian Hunters solo Album “You’re never alone with a Schizophrenic”.

Did you hear that the Cleveland Indians are thinking of changing their name to the Cleveland Rocks?

Thanks. I thought that was what you were referring to. I've never read the book, but because of Ian and the boys, I MAY check it out.

Wow, possibly changing the name to "Rocks". That truly does ROCK!
