Episode 60: Pretenders - Self Titled Debut

This is an album review of the Pretenders debut, self-titled album. Punk? Not sure. Maybe this is what would eventually become a genre that included 70s punk mixed in a blender with 80s New Wave. The Pretenders are underrated. They were never on my radar. I always knew about them. I knew they existed, but never took the time to focus and listen to their albums. I just heard their radio hits.  The band, Pretenders was formed in the UK in 1978. American musician Chrissy Hynde left the US and started playing the music club circuits in London. This album will get you moving, smiling, and throwing fists in the air and give you the listener a history lesson of punk music and where it came from. The fact they’re doing it today is a testament to music that stands the test of time. To listen to your favorite album and music product reviews, head over to ALBUMREVIEW.NET.
