There's a very good reason why it sounds like Bowie - he wrote it.

I like some of Mott the Hoople - All the Way from Memphis, Roll Away the Stone, Violence, Saturday Gigs to name a few. They remind me a bit of early Roxy Music at times. I suppose they're sort of glam rock but not in the same way as Slade, Sweet and T.Rex.

I didn't even notice what track he was referring to. Yes he picked the only Bowie written one.LOL

the band changed significantly when Bowie gave them that song. Prior to that they had been a fine but pretty much unknown rock band. They appeared on the "Bumpers" sampler (featuring the mighty "Thunderbuck ram" and made a couple of very good albums.
 
"ATYDs" gave them a hit single, and they changed almost ovenight into a pop/rock/glam act. They still made good music, but it was much more commercial. Try "Wildlife" and "Mad shadows" if you want to discover the original Mott The Hoople.
 
Incidentally, Mott carried on after Ian Hunter left, and made a couple of decent albums too.

^Shouting and Pointing.

Mick Ronson joined very briefly but left with Hunter. Or did he die?

Incidently Mick Ronson's two solo albums are really good.

Disagree with you about them being a pop/rock (OK this yes) /Glam act.

The Hoople, that's who Queen was the opening act for in the early days wasn't it?
