    The prompt is flirting

    The Pretenders, “Brass in Pocket” from The Pretenders (1979)

    “Brass in Pocket” was the first single from #ThePretenders first (and best) album and as such, it was my introduction to this tight little band and #ChrissieHynde's sultry vocals - but to be honest, I never liked it much. When the album came out I found that I love love loved everything else on it, so eh, no matter about this song. It's a mystery to me how it was a hit but if it helped Chrissie Hyde break into the music biz, I can’t hate.

    However, I have to acknowledge that “Brass in Pocket” IS the quintessential flirting song, and established Chrissie’s attitude: Gonna use everything I have to MAKE YOU notice.

  27. Learning To Crawl

    The Pretenders release their 3rd album on January 21, 1984. This one took a while mainly due to the sad drug overdose deaths of James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon. The wait was OK with fans .. the album became the band's most successful and highest-charting album.
