A number of artists from diverse genres have cited Slade as an influence. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Music tells of Holder's powerful vocals, guitarist Dave Hill's equally arresting dress sense, and the deliberate misspelling of their song titles (such as " Cum On Feel the Noize" and " Mama Weer All Crazee Now") for which they became well known.

There is far more of Slade's rambunctious personality present there than on Whatever Happened To Slade. Slayed?, Old New Borrowed And Blue, the first Slade Alive, the compilation Sladest and Slade In Flame are the albums that constitute essential Slade for me personally. Whatever Happened To Slade is a fair enough listen, but doesn't sparkle in the way those other recordings do.

Of course there have always been two sides to the Slade coin, for every pounding, terrace chant there’s a sensitive ballad, and Everyday is arguably the finest example of the latter. The follow-up single to ‘that Christmas record’ peaked at number three in ‘74, and features a schizophrenic Noddy Holder vocal performance to die for. Sensitive and reserved on the verses, catterwauling and explosive on the choruses, raw and abrasive enough to scour or scare a Lennon, it’s vocal overkill at its most glorious. Get Down And Get With It (single) During 1972, Slade recorded their third studio album Slayed?, with the lead single " Mama Weer All Crazee Now" being released in August that year. The song topped the UK chart and "Gudbuy T'Jane" followed as a single in November, by which time Slayed? had already been released earlier in the month. "Gudbuy T'Jane" reached No. 2 in the UK. The song reached No. 1 on the New Musical Express Chart, [5] and was also Slade's most successful single of the 1970s in the United States, where it reached No. 68. [4] Slade - Biography - AllMusic".

[169] During 1972, the then popular teen magazine, Fab 208, voted the band "Group of the Year" whilst in the Record Mirror magazine that same year; Slade were voted number two in the most promising British groups list, number five in the top 18 groups list and number 17 in the male groups category. [170] [171] Also in 1972, Slade were voted number one top band and leading recording act in the NME magazine chart points survey, and number one top live band. [172] Radio Luxembourg presented Slade with the award for "Britain's act/group of the year" in 1973. [173] [174] In March 1992, the band returned to Rich Bitch Studios to record a new house/dance-style version of "We'll Bring the House Down". However, by the end of the month, Holder had decided to finally leave the band. He had become weary of the constant arguing and discontent within the band, and effectively managing their day-to-day affairs. He left after 26 years with the band to explore other career paths. Believing Holder to be an integral member of Slade, Lea also effectively retired from the band, preferring to work alone in the studio, rather than continue without Holder. Powell filled the gap by helping out in a hotel his partner managed, but would soon re-join Hill to form Slade II later in the year.
