Whatever Happened to Slade? was an album by the british glam/hardrock group Slade. It was released March 21 1977 but did not enter the charts. Slade were now seen as 'uncool' and 'unfashionable'. The Glam movement had died, along with Mud, Gary Glitter and Marc Bolan (who was at the time a washed up hasbeen, and trying to make it as a presenter on his own TV show), and in it's place had come various differnt types of music including; disco, punk, soul, bedsitter, rock and electronic.

The band carried on, but with little success. Besides 1977's My Baby Left Me - It's All Right, the next song that would actually make the UK chart would be 1980's We'll Bring The House Down
