Slade is an internationally renowned rock band that originated in England during the late 1960s. The band is best known for their hit singles "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" and "Cum On Feel the Noize", both of which reached the top of the UK Singles Charts in 1972. The band was formed in Wolverhampton, England, in 1966 and consisted of Noddy Holder (lead vocals and guitar), Dave Hill (guitar and backing vocals), Jim Lea (bass and keyboards), and Don Powell (drums).

Slade achieved their greatest success during the early 1970s, during which time they had six consecutive number one singles in the UK, and two number one albums. They also achieved success in other countries, including the US where their single "Cum On Feel the Noize" reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's unique sound, which combined heavy metal, glam rock, and catchy pop melodies, was extremely popular with audiences during this period.

The band's success in the early 1970s was followed by a sudden decline in popularity during the mid-1970s. This was due to the rise of punk rock and the band's failure to adapt to the changing musical landscape. By the end of the 1970s, the band had disbanded and the members went on to pursue solo careers. However, Slade's popularity has endured and they are still considered to be one of the most influential bands of the glam-rock era.

Slade has continued to perform and record music over the years, and their songs have been covered by a wide range of artists, from Oasis to Motorhead. The band also still performs live on occasion, and their music continues to be popular with audiences. In 2003, Slade was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, in recognition of their significant influence on the British music scene.

While Slade have now been inactive for several decades, they remain one of the most beloved and influential bands of the glam-rock era. Their music continues to be popular with audiences, and they remain fondly remembered for their catchy pop melodies and unique sound. They are an iconic band that will forever be remembered for their contribution to the music scene.

Slade may have come and gone, but their legacy lives on. They have left an indelible mark on the music world, and their influence will continue to be felt for generations to come.
