I'm spending a little time listening to Slade tonight. Much derided when they were current (by me as much as anyone). But they were of their time, and actually, I think surprisingly good upon reflection...
I guess, I could have posted this in unpop opinions too......

@GraemeE I was a big fan of Slade's music and at the time was in a band that covered 2 of their songs. Their live shows involved ,in my opinion, way too much of being told to clap your hands ,stamp your feet etc. before they would play just about every song. When they eventually got around to playing a song they were actually quite good. The audience participation that worked so well for them at home just seemed to frustrate them,when it wasn't happening here. Saw them open for T-Rex,which was a great double bill. Fun fact...They were managed by former Animals bassist and Jimi Hendrix manager,Chas Chandler.

I think you can tell a lot by a person by which version of COFTN they prefer.
I'd have to pick Quiet Riot's version,but this was my first time hearing the version by Oasis,and I'd probably rate that one second because it made me think it kind of sounded like The Sex Pistols,if they had covered it.
