  4. "Stop your sobbing" - The Pretenders

    Hello, Chrissie Hynde And The Backing Band! Cor, forgot that The Pretenders were vital - or more than the one song.

    A memory from last year: does she look like Katrina From The Waves?

    Gotta love the Kinks-esque harmonies, and don't mind some obvious miming.

  6. 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.
