In a delightful throwback to 1996, Slade’s iconic frontman Noddy Holder took to the pages of Select magazine to review a lineup of singles from some of rock’s biggest names. This nostalgic piece showcases Holder’s unique perspective on the music scene, highlighting his admiration for artists like Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Among the tracks critiqued, Holder particularly praised Oasis for their Slade cover, calling it ‘great’ and enjoying their playful take on accents. His enthusiasm didn’t stop there; he expressed a surprising fondness for the Smashing Pumpkins, declaring their track ‘1979’ a standout from their acclaimed album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

While he found the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Aeroplane’ a bit lackluster, he was captivated by the quirkiness of The Flaming Lips, exclaiming, ‘Whatever they’re on, I want some!’ His top pick, however, went to Lush for their infectious single ‘Ladykillers,’ which he predicted would stick in listeners’ heads for weeks.

Holder’s insights remind us of the vibrant rock landscape of the ’90s and the enduring legacy of these legendary artists.
