All of the Good Ones Are Taken is the sixth solo album of Ian Hunter. The album contains a mix of several styles. Longtime collaborator Mick Ronson was mostly absent (he only played guitar on one track), because he was seriously considering quitting the music business.

Contents

The heaviest tracks are "Something's Goin' On" (a comment on the Cold War) and "Death'n'Glory Boys" (featuring Ronson).

In 2007, the album was reissued with a single bonus track.
