Last of the Independents
The Pretenders
Sire / London/Rhino, 1994
The best Pretenders album.
Many Pretenders fans prefer their first, self-titled, album. In my opinion, "Last of the Independents" is by far their best album. Chrissie Hynde still has the cocky attitude from the first album, but this one is more melodic. While many of the group's other albums ...

The Pretenders-A Working Band That Just Has The Look
I don't know why but when I think of Chrissie Hynde, I am reminded of Robert Plant. Led Zep plucked Robert out of some obscure English countryside village and blasted him off to Rock and Roll nobility. He had the look and he could dish it out. That's exactly why ...

Learning to Crawl
Pretenders
Rhino / Wea, 2007
What can you say? They peaked right here
What a comeback! Two original band memebrs dying within a year of each other, and - for my money, anyway - Chrissie & Martin just traded up with new guitarist Robbie McIntosh and new bassist Malcom Foster. The songs? Whew, right out of the chute, "Middle of the Road" ...

Mellow, Dramatic, and Rockin' Chrissie
What can I really say that no one else has said already, I'm not sure? BUT, I will have to say something anyway. I've never been a Pretenders fan, I've listened to some of their music over the years but couldn't have said which songs they were. I recently heard Brass ...

Pretenders II
The Pretenders
Rhino / Wea, 2006
Worth the upgrade
Sometimes reissues are worth plunking down money for, and this is one of them. The packaging and sound are great, disc one is the album as originally issued (no extras), and the extras on the generous disc two are good to great (most of it is a vintage live show, with ...

Chrissie's back
I'm gay but there's always been one woman for me: Chrissie Hynde. OK, so I spent a few years in Purgatory (Ohio) but she's always been my rock'n'roll savior. I hadn't spent much time with her for many years until this one came out, and now, once again, I'm drinking ...

A Very Special Christmas
The Pretenders, John Cougar Mellencamp
A&M, 1990
Very Enjoyable Christmas Music
I really enjoyed this CD over the Christmas Holidays. It features all the original artists. I especially enjoyed Santa Baby by Madonna. I have heard other versions that I don't like as well. When I ordered it I didn't expect it so soon. It came within a week. ...

Pretenders
Sire, 1990
Pretenders to the throne of Rock n' Roll
I'd trust Chrissie Hynde driving; in fact, I want her behind the wheel in the driver's seat. I believe she'd get me there fast and with a minimal amount of wasted time or fuel. There aren't many people I'd feel comfortable relinquishing control to, but Chrissie is ...

Let's Hear It For The Girl!
The obvious dilemma facing any female who fronts an otherwise all-male group is that she can easily be classified as nothing more than eye candy either onstage or on the subsequent CD covers. Such is not the case with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders anymore than it ...

Pirate Radio
The Pretenders
Rhino / Wea, 2006
TOO PRECIOUS! one of the best box sets
Chrissie Hynde is fierce. Listening to this collection it's refreshing to realize this music never sounds dated nor were they ever 'punk' - The Pretenders are pure rock and roll. I don't think there is a female singer who can match Chrissie's attitude, delivery and ...

Rhino / Wea, 1996
It's not Christmas until I've listened to this one!
This is one of my favorite Christmas CDs! I play it over and over every year. Some of the rock n roll Christmas CDs seem to have the same songs, but this one has quite a few I haven't heard anywhere else. Christmas Day by Squeeze is probably my favorite, but I also ...

Best Album By A Great Band
Its the eighties. The White House goes Hollywood. Reagan , Iran -Contra, Olie North and good lord even Dylan is getting all Jesused up and Punk has gone god awful Madonna. All in all as good a decade as any to spend in a blackout. Yet shining through the coma is this ...

Classic Pretenders album gets re-release as part of "Flashback" series from Rhino-same mastering
Released just after "The Last of the Independents", "Isle of View" features an unusual apporach for The Pretenders--strings added to an acoustic live performance (although they are missing from "Private Life"). Featuring the longest running version of the line up ...

This album failed to do anything in the UK as did the singles You Know Who Your Friends Are and The Losing but both songs are brilliant.In fact the only song that failed to make a mark on me was Complex Person it just doesnt work.
The rest of the album however is ...
