Thing about Slade, they were a very good band. The earlier hits like "Look wot you done", "Cuz I Love You", "Take me home", and then "Gubuy t Jane" were fantastic. And the album tracks from "Slayed" e.g.
But even earlier when they were a band of thugs with shaved heads they wrote great songs.
It is the latter material, the songs they got huge on like "Skweeze me", and "Feel the Noize" and then even worse stuff, that are IMO lame.

This was the last I ever heard of them - way back in 1984 when they were constantly played on MTV:
Haven't heard it in years, but quite a nice catchy tune.

Apart from their early singles up until "Feel The Noize", their albums "Play It Loud" and "Slayed" included fantastic tracks like "Shape Of Things To Come" or "I Won't Let It 'Appen Again" and their "Slade Alive" album is a classic (check "In Like A Shot From My Gun" for example). They began to fade after "Skweeze Me" imo, but tracks like "Far Far Away" or "Everday" amongst others were still top notch. Great rock'n'roll band back in the day, always loved them.

Don Powell, 73, had been a member of the group, which is best known for its Christmas hit Merry Xmas Everybody, since the 1960s.
"Dave has sent Don a cold email to inform him that his services are no longer required, after working together and being friends since 1963."
