I have been looking to buy this CD for years. I was so happy to find it on Half.com for under a dollar. My experiences with Half.com have been great and I will continue to look to this site for future purchases.
This CD covers most of the famous songs by the troubled band. Mostly considered an alternative college band in the early 80's, the band kept their fame late into the 90's with an occasional hit song. The turbulent 80's saw the band as a hard hitting, nearly punk rock, band on the cutting edge of music. But the sweet seductive vocals of Chrissie Hynde carried the band on and on. Chrissie Hynde's tendency to date famous lead male vocalists helped their reputation and kept the band touring with some of the hottest groups of the decade. This album is excellent, I recommend it to any fan or wannabe fan of the Pretenders.
but unfortunately all the songs are mainstream hits,missing gems like tattooed love boys and down the neck and alot of edgy raw power songs that set them apart from other groups of that era. still a great cd
A really great cd. This is all you need if you love the Pretenders. Definitely a good bargain! I don't know why this review has to be 100 characters...I've written all there is to say about it.
