Free Music Notes for The Pretenders
Free Music Review: The "original" Pretenders at their Best.
Hit: 5 Stars
When the Pretenders' self-titled album was released in January 1980, it immediately captured my attention with the single, "Brass in Pocket (I'm Special)," and with the hard-rocking vocals of the woman leading the band in her schoolgirl bangs, scary dark eyeliner, and tight jeans. The "original" Pretenders (1978-1982) consisted of Chrissie Hynde on vocals and guitar, James Honeyman-Scott on guitar, vocals, and keyboards, Pete Farndon on bass guitar and vocals, and Martin Chambers on percussion and vocals. (In 1982 Honeyman-Scott died of a cocaine overdose, and in 1983 Farndon overdosed on heroin.) The album is a seamless mix of hard rock, post-punk and New Wave, and not only set a benchmark for '80s music, but is one of the greatest albums of all time (in my opinion). It sounds just as good today (particularly in this remastered edition) as it did in the early '80s. Tracks include:
1. Precious
2. The Phone Call
3. Up The Neck
4. Tattooed Love Boys
5. Space Invader
6. The Wait
7. Stop Your Sobbing
8. Kid
9. Private Life
