Silver was a 1970s country-rock band, best known for their 1976 hit "Wham Bam".

Members of the group included John Batdorf (formerly of Batdorf & Rodney), Brent Mydland (later of the Grateful Dead), as well as Tom Leadon, brother of the Eagles' Bernie Leadon. Phil Hartman designed the cover art for Silver, the group's lone album. The band's recordings were released on the Arista record label.

The single's title, "Wham Bam", was also shown as "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang", and made # 16 in the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1976.
