Sucker

Artist: Mott the Hoople

Album: All the Young Dudes  (1972)

Why Its Great: Vocalist Ian Hunter infuses what could’ve been a standard five minutes of S&M-inspired rock sleaze with an ironic sneer that makes this one the cream of the (riding) crop.

Best Listened To: Because Mott the Hoople do, in fact, have really good songs outside of All the Young Dudes.

Key Lyric: Hi there your friendly neighbourhood sadist, want to take you for a ride
