    This woman and her band redefined rock in an era when it was suffering multiple identity crises. Phenomenal talents, all of them. One of the only bands that deserved their massive success in so many ways.

      Their debut was a great album (their 2nd) was a good follow up before their bassit and guitarist died...They hardly redefined rock and roll.
      The Beatles and Nirvana did that!

    The original Pretenders is my all time favorite band. It's great the way James grabs Chrissie's sleeve. "I don't like to go out to clubs or anything. I stay in my room and drink hot chocolate, watch movies..." --- Chrissie Hynde

    I fell hopelessly in love with this woman over 30 years ago. Listen to her speak. Even just talking, her voice is like honey. I could listen to her all day of course but it's just impossible not to just stare at the screen looking at these old videos. Ahh Chrissie, while the rest were hanging up posters of Farrah, you were my dream girl! And I'll bet there are a million guys out there who were just as captivated as I was! And then, there was Pat Benatar, the only close second.

    This band, the original line up, could have been the Rolling Stones of the 80s circa Mick Taylor (69-Dec. 74). Fardon and Honeyman-Scott two of the most talented musicians to come out of the late 70s- early 80s. They really really rocked it and that first album and the performances were just so right on. Almost garage band-ish perfection. I did see the next line up in Chicago three times. But nothing like this band. Too bad they could not hold it together

    Classic example here of how Farndon rubs Hynde up the wrong way and that's why he was kicked out of the band! She couldn't stand his reckless drug use, problem was she didn't see the disaster coming with Honeyman-Scott who she, ironically, unlike Farndon, over indulged.
