The Pretenders - 1980 - Pretenders (2013 HDtracks) [FLAC@192khz24bit]  The Pretenders  The Pretenders in 1981 Wikipedia: The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978. The original band consisted of initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). Following the drug-related deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon, the band has experienced numerous subsequent personnel changes, with Hynde as the only consistent member, and Chambers returning after an absence of several years. Hynde launched a solo career in 2014, and The Pretenders are currently inactive (having played last in 2012). However, no official announcement about the status of the band has been made.

A combination of rock, punk and pop music, this album made the band famous. The album features the singles "Stop Your Sobbing", "Kid" and "Brass in Pocket". Nick Lowe produced the Pretenders' first single, "Stop Your Sobbing", but decided not to work with them again as he thought the band was "not going anywhere". Chris Thomas took over on the subsequent recording sessions. Pretenders debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart in the week of its release and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. It also made the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum during 1982 by the RIAA. Pretenders has been named one of the best albums of all time by VH1 (#52). In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album number 155 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and, in 1989, ranked it the 20th best album of the 1980s. In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at #64 on its list, "Best Albums of the 1980s". AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine: Few rock & roll records rock as hard or with as much originality as the Pretenders' eponymous debut album. A sleek, stylish fusion of Stonesy rock & roll, new wave pop, and pure punk aggression, Pretenders is teeming with sharp hooks and a viciously cool attitude. Although Chrissie Hynde establishes herself as a forceful and distinctively feminine songwriter, the record isn't a singer/songwriter's tour de force -- it's a rock & roll album, powered by a unique and aggressive band. Guitarist James Honeyman-Scott never plays conventional riffs or leads, and his phased, treated guitar gives new dimension to the pounding rhythms of "Precious," "Tattooed Love Boys," "Up the Neck," and "The Wait," as well as the more measured pop of "Kid," "Brass in Pocket," and "Mystery Achievement." He provides the perfect backing for Hynde and her tough, sexy swagger. Hynde doesn't fit into any conventional female rock stereotype, and neither do her songs, alternately displaying a steely exterior or a disarming emotional vulnerability. It's a deep, rewarding record, whose primary virtue is its sheer energy. Pretenders moves faster and harder than most rock records, delivering an endless series of melodies, hooks, and infectious rhythms in its 12 songs. Few albums, let alone debuts, are ever this astonishingly addictive.  01 - Precious - 3:36 02 - The Phone Call - 2:29 03 - Up The Neck - 4:27 04 - Tattooed Love Boys - 2:59 05 - Space Invader - 3:26 06 - The Wait - 3:35 07 - Stop Your Sobbing - 2:38 08 - Kid - 3:06 09 - Private Life - 6:25 10 - Brass In Pocket - 3:04 11 - Lovers Of Today - 5:51 12 - Mystery Achievement - 5:23 Personnel: The Pretenders: Chrissie Hynde – lead vocals, rhythm guitar Martin Chambers – drums, backing vocals Pete Farndon – bass guitar, backing vocals James Honeyman-Scott – lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals Additional Musicians: Geoff Bryant – horn Henry Lowther – trumpet Gerry Mackelduff – drums Chris Mercer – saxophone Chris Thomas – keyboards, sound effects Jim Wilson – trumpet    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Related Torrents
