Please understand Quiet Riot had nothing to do with Slade having success in the 80s. They headlined Reading Festival after Ozzy fell ill, they were still selling albums late 70s into the 80s.

Kudos to you sweet girl for taking the time 2 dig that out! It takes a special kind of person to look into real music!

[@thereunionparty]

Slade were the biggest selling band in the UK in the 1970's but somehow were/are never quite fashionable. Maybe it was the deliberate mis-spellings, maybe the over the top embrace of glam fashion, maybe because they spoke with Wolverhampton accents. They toured extensively in the US but never broke the charts there. But, you know, they were just great, good time rock and rollers!

[@DAP-mi7ck]

Very true, we dont hear them lauded often enough.

[@Boxyde]

Remember the UK was a very class-divided society then (and most certainly still is). Slade is a band deriving from the poorer side of society. That's the first point you got to be aware of. The second one is that glam fashion was excentric and taking art to a popular level, and created a group identity that vanished when it got exploited by teenage bopper talent scouts. Watch Kenny (the band, not the Irish singer), Stephenson's Rocket, the Wombles and the Bay City Rollers and you know what I'm talking about. Gary Glitter, Suzi Quatro, Slade and (The) Sweet were taking glam to teen's level when Marc Bolan gradually faded from people's attention when his musical and textual style became too alienated. The third point is that the compositions of Slade didn't attract intellectuals. While the Beatles did manage to offer anyone a piece of tasteful delights, Slade remained a raw rock band, offering teenybop songs as well as bluesy material. Cockney Rebel was a band that tried to save the artful side of glam. However, it soon became Steve Harley's solo effort. Slade too wanted to get artful, and loved by Americans, and diverted from their teeny glam sound and fashion during 1974, so other glam artists took over Slade's top popularity position. Slade managed to get popular again in the 80s, which is quite astonishing.

[@JeaneGenie]
