Not much to add. Precious, Tattooed Love Boys, and Brass in Pocket hover over a good crowd.
Absolutely fantastic opening track in "Precious"... the rest of the songs may feel a little too slick for their own good, although occasionally it bursts it's own protective bubble and becomes the fantastic guitar-based album that seems to hover around it's poppier side.
One of the best debuts ever.
Best track: Brass In Pocket.
Punky Chrissie rock!
The Pretenders were a real shot in the arm in the eighties. Great debut. The last five songs on the record are terrific.
Best Pretenders album and one of the best rock/postpunk/new wave/classic rock albums of all time!!! The first half totally rocks and the second half mellows out for some great tracks.
Squarely between punk and new wave, Pretenders rocked it tight but catchy.
CHRISSIE IS TOPS...GREAT SONGS LIKE "MYSTERY","KID","BRASS","PRIVATE""PRECIOUS"...NO FILLA
Not very good. Joan Jet, X, and Fleetwood Mac are all better. Brass In Pocket is a good track, but the rest is bland and sounds the same.
A good selection of songs here. Brass In Pocket and Stop Your Sobbing are the best
