Dumb but great fun!

Good old silly, irreverent Slade never really caught on in the US, but their melodic early-70s glam rock sounds as energetic and fun today as it did back then, and this is the best collection of their works, including all of the Slade's hit singles from the early '70s, from 1971's "Get Down And Get With It" to 1975's "Thanks For The Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam)".



Slade scored a whopping 11 Top Five hits between 1971 and 1974 (five of which topped the charts), and they're all here. So are their latter-day chart entries, like 1983's #2 hit "My Oh My", but Slade never got better than they did at their stomping glitter-rock peak, and "Feel The Noize" captures them in all their glory, filled with Noddy Holder and Jim Lea's big, dumb, misspelled shout-along hits ("Look Wot You Dun", "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" and "Gudbuy T'Jane").

From an oldster

OK, it duzn't include ALL my favorites, but lots of 'em. I'm more partial to the heavier stuff -- The SLAYED album especially. If you still have a turntable you can get all their LPs for like five dollars each in the used bins and pick 'em for 'yerselF. I had the pleasure of seeing 'um live in 1975 (yes, 1975) -- one of the first concerts I ever saw, I was 16 years old. They warmed up for ZZ Top in NY. Wow-ie. I was hooked ever since. And if this CD is all the SLADE you ever buy -- you can't go wrong. They're is a very, very, good chance that many of the songs on this CD will stick in your head for a lifetime.

Slade Rocked ******

This was a rock band folks. Say what you will about their "lyrics", this group was pure ROCK AN ROLL. I saw them as one of the groups at the Largo Arena in Md opening for Aerosmith way back in 74 or 75. Actually, I came to see them and was not disappointed. Noddy Holder is COOL - STILL! This is a great CD to own if you are just getting into the glitter rock of the 70's.
I have the lps and they are still among my faves to peruse.
