10 Greatest Rock Song Intros From The 1970s

10. Get Down With It - Slade

Opening with Noddy Holder's unique rabble-rousing 'Alright everybody', Slade's first hit, a cover of a '60s Little Richard song, was the perfect encapsulation of everything that made the band one of the premier live acts in the UK prior to their first chart success.

Although entitled 'Get Down With It', the actual line is 'get down and get with it', which the black country bad boys do with gusto and aplomb. Kicking up the kind of riot that was to become their trademark through a career of unparalleled hits.

The single was the perfect encapsulation of the live Slade experience, with Noddy's unique ability to make everybody watching, either in the room or at home on TV a part of the non-stop Slade party.
