#54 – Slade

Slade rose to success during the era of glam rock, producing 17 consecutive Top-20 hits. However, their popularity faded when they tried to move to the USA, and they ended up on the university circuit. 

Fortunately for them, they replaced Ozzy Osbourne at the Reading Rock Festival and revived their popularity. This ended up saving the band from bankruptcy and giving it life for another couple of years until Holder left the band. Many different musical artists have cited them as an influence such as Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Ramones, Kiss, Def Leppard and Cheap Trick.
