What are your favorite Pretenders songs?

[bobthedrummer]

I enjoy most of their stuff, they did go through some rough years but all in all I really respect The Pretenders, they rock.
"Back on the Chaingang", "Brass in Pocket", "Thin Line Between Love and Hate"...

1. Here we go

Stop Sobbing
Kid
Middle of the Road
And a slow ballad in my head..can't recall the name

2. Kid

Brass in pocket
Back on the chain gang
Don't get me wrong

My city was gone
Talk of the town

Best Pretenders album by far, and one of the most underrated albums in rock history. Sophomore slump, my a**!

Peter Farndon and James Honeyman Scott, R.I.P.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

15. "Thumbillina"

Almost anything. I love Chrissie Hynde!

[bobthedrummer]

16. She is a very strong person and a great performer.

She has written many really good songs about some really bad situations but found the will and the way to play on through it all.
I love her too.

[fishnfla]

17. Thin line between love and hate

good for this season.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Middle of the Road

Another one of those "must turn up" songs if it comes on while driving.

[Lostmessage]

19. The one that says she went back to Ohio

But her city was gone.

[bobthedrummer]

20. It was always creepy to hear "My City was Gone"

being used by Rush Lymphnodes:puke:

[VOX]

21. Tough being a Pretender -- the original band had a 50% mortality rate

"Back on the Chain Gang" and "Brass in Pocket" are a first-rate songs...

[bobthedrummer]

22. In 1970 I was drumming in the Milwaukee band "Clockwork Orange"

our bass player was shot and killed and our guitarist shot and wounded in what was ruled to be a "death by misadventure", I still play but suffered the realization that some people really can't be trusted and that our opinions may be wrong.

[LTR]

24. It's just as scary being a member of Badfinger

Two of the four original guys committed suicide.

[bobthedrummer]

26. It's way different today.

Plus I was out of the loop when it came to the activities that led to the shooting but the repercussions were still there.
Hell, I've been shot at 7 times as an American citizen myself for a variety of reasons, I've been fighting fascists for all my political life-which began at 15, and I'm a musician as well as my wife, she's the bass player of today!

We go by the name of "The Books Banned".

[Bossy Monkey]

23. Chaingang, Talk of the Town, Up the Neck...

and a dozen or two others. As Tommy Gallagher said, "Chrissie sweated on me!" (Chestnut Cabaret, Philly, night before Live Aid, warmup show after two-year layoff for making babies)

[gristy]

25. "Brass in Pocket", "Stop Sobbin", and that one where Chrissie

growls a wonderful "f*** off!". But all their songs are great.

[bobthedrummer]

27. I love the Hendrix cover songs done by The Pretenders

especially "Room Full of Mirrors".

[JCMach1]

28. I am the Adultress

:evilgrin:

[Dogmudgeon]

29. When Will I See You?

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

CH and Chris Mars.

30. good choice, one of my faves too

"Windows of the World" was that a Pretenders' song or just a Chrissy song? either way, i love it.
