Slade became one of the most successful and influential British rock bands of the 1970s, combining hard rock, glam, humor, and a direct connection with live audiences. The classic lineup of Noddy Holder, Jim Lea, Dave Hill, and Don Powell came together in Wolverhampton during the second half of the 1960s after earlier incarnations that included the Vendors and the ‘N Betweens.
The group initially recorded under the name Ambrose Slade, releasing Beginnings in 1969. Manager and producer Chas Chandler helped reshape the band’s direction, shortened the name to Slade, and encouraged the musicians to concentrate on original material. Play It Loud followed in 1970, but the major breakthrough arrived the next year with “Get Down and Get with It” and the chart-topping “Coz I Luv You.”
Slade’s rise accelerated through songs including “Look Wot You Dun,” “Take Me Bak ‘Ome,” “Mama Weer All Crazee Now,” “Gudbuy T’Jane,” “Cum On Feel the Noize,” “Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me,” and “Merry Xmas Everybody.” The Holder and Lea songwriting partnership supplied the melodies and hooks, while Holder’s unmistakable voice, Hill’s visual flair, Lea’s musical versatility, and Powell’s forceful drumming gave the band its identity.
Between 1971 and 1976, Slade placed seventeen consecutive singles in the UK Top 20. Six of those singles reached number one. The group also scored three UK number-one albums during the decade, while the live album Slade Alive! established its reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting concert acts.
The 1974 film Slade in Flame and its soundtrack took a more serious look at the music business. “Far Far Away” and “How Does It Feel” became two of the band’s most enduring recordings, demonstrating that Slade’s songwriting reached well beyond its loudest glam-rock anthems.
After its commercial momentum slowed during the second half of the 1970s, Slade rebuilt its British audience with a celebrated appearance at the 1980 Reading Festival. We’ll Bring the House Down followed in 1981, while “My Oh My” and “Run Runaway” brought renewed international success during the 1980s.
The classic lineup made its final recordings in 1991. “Radio Wall of Sound” became Slade’s final UK Top 40 hit, and “Universe” was the last single released by the Holder, Lea, Hill, and Powell lineup. Holder and Lea left the group in 1992.
Dave Hill and Don Powell subsequently launched Slade II. That version of the band released Keep on Rockin’ in 1994, and its recordings are identified separately in the list below. Hill later continued touring under the Slade name, with the current band featuring Hill, John Berry, Russell Keefe, and Alex Bines.
Slade’s legacy extends through glam rock, hard rock, heavy metal, punk, and Britpop. Their songs have been covered by artists including Quiet Riot, and their influence has been acknowledged by musicians across several generations. “Merry Xmas Everybody” remains a recurring British holiday standard more than half a century after its original release.
The complete list below brings together Slade’s studio-album recordings, non-album singles, B-sides, officially released remixes, selected live-only songs, holiday recordings, and the 1994 Slade II album.
