Slade II

Very few bands in the history of British popular music can boast a run of hits as impressive as Slade. They were far and away the most successful chart band of the early Seventies, chalking up no fewer than 17 consecutive top twenty hits, including six number one's, between 1971 and 1976.

They had 39 chart entries in all, with 23 top thirty hits. Three of their albums also topped the LP charts in an 18-month spell between 1972 and 1974. They were in the UK charts for 20 years, starting in 1971 with their raucous Little Richard cover Get Down and ending in 1991 with Radio Wall of Sound.

Talking about Slade would be incomplete without mentioning Merry Xmas Everybody, their rousing 1973 Christmas chart topper which re-entered the charts six times on different Christmas occasions. It has gone on to become Britain's best loved Christmas song, and one of many reasons why the spirit of Slade, their music, their energy and humour, lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone, whatever their age.

Their songs became the anthems of an era, sung with great gusto on football terraces, in pubs and, of course, at concerts. Their stagecraft has been honed to perfection from years of experience. Slade toured endlessly, at home and abroad, and they became one of the UK's hottest live attractions, eventually selling out London's Earls Court Arena.

C'mon feel the noise!
