SO MUCH POWER!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You REACTION

[@trjbrew]

Chrissie is actually an American from Ohio, the rest of band is British. Many great songs from them from soft ballads to full on rockers. Their first hit is "Brass in Pocket" you guys would love it. Message of Love, and Middle of the Road are a couple of rockers.

[@kevinmauch5622]

One of Akron's finest, along with Devo. And Joe Walsh lived right up the road. I recall reading an interview with Chrissie and she said that Akron was so depressing she would have died had she stayed there.

[@kevinmauch5622]

I'm was born in Lima, Ohio BTW...

[@Tux.Penguin]

One of her songs mentions Ohio. “My City Was Gone”

"Brass in Pocket" was their first hit, but "Middle of the Road" is FIRE!

[@shanedesselle2590]

Yes! Middle of the Road!

[@othermotte]

[@sallysharp3845]

"Back On The Chain Gang" and "Don't Get Me Wrong" are other great options by The Pretenders. But my personal favorite is "Middle Of The Road".

[@1177kc]

My favorite is 2000 Miles.

Ditto!

[@andyrunton]

Seconded! You gotta check out “Back on the Chain Gang” next, for sure. She also did the amazing song “Walk Away” with Cheap Trick.

Yes, Sally - Chain gang is so catchy.. as is "dont' get me wrong" -- I love Chrissie.. especially live.. b/c she sounds almost identical to recordings.. she can hit all those notes.. and with style!

I love, LOVE Message of Love. That tune will always be one of those songs that can completely change my mood, no matter what kind of day I’m having. My “dance it out” song ❤️

[@Shrykespeare]

Chrissie Hynde. So happy you've gotten to some Pretenders! She's one of the original badass chicks of rock and roll. She's also a wicked guitar player AND she rocks the harmonica! Check out "Middle of the Road" to hear that. "Brass in Pocket", "Back On the Chain Gang", "My City Was Gone"... all are classics. She also duetted with UB40 to do a cover of Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe" that you would love.

[@lillianbuckingham4529]

[@caseymoe816]

Yeah! Chrissie, Chrissie, Chrissie! Jay and Amber know I’ve been begging for some Pretenders for almost a year now! Gotta play their early stuff. You’ll agree Chrissie is a rock goddess. Singer-songwriter extraordinaire. She especially rips it on “Precious,” but there are so many others: “Tattooed Love Boys,” “Stop Your Sobbing,” “Mystery Achievement” “Back On The Chain Gang.” So good!🔥🤙

[@HidingFromFate]

Yes! I'm always a little taken aback by how frequently many fans list songs from the post James Honeyman Scott and Pete Farndon classic lineup era of the Pretenders first. I always suggest songs from those first two albums before suggesting any of their later music. But hey, what do I know.

Im so happy you got to hear Chrissie and her band. This song is from the 90s but they started at the latest of the 70s, you need to listen to "brass in pocket" and "back on the chain gang"

[@bryanCJC2105]

The Pretenders are one of my favorite bands. You have to listen to their late 70s/ early 80s post-punk stuff that made them famous. "Precious", "Stop Your Sobbing", "Kid", "Tattooed Love Boys", "The Phone Call", "Middle of the Road", "Brass In Pocket", and more, so much to choose from

[@dorindamichaud5984]

The Mount Rushmore of Rock Chicks from my childhood is Janis, Stevie, Joan, and Chrissie. Middle of the Road, Don't Get Me Wrong, Back on the Chain Gang, all classics. A favorite Chrissie vocal that I listen to every Christmas is 10,000 Miles.

[@johnnymarrisgod3290]

Can't add much to all the great comments here, just that Chrissie Hynde's stylistic range is jaw-dropping! The delicate plaintive "Kid", the vicious punk of "Precious", and the sweet pop of "Don't Get me Wrong". She's one of a kind, and I count myself lucky to have seen The Pretenders live back in the eighties. ❤️

FINALLY!!!! Pretenders Rock!! I've been suggesting them to you for about a year now it seems. Glad you got there in the end! This one is awesome, but my 2 Favs are : Don't Get Me Wrong, and Brass In Pocket.

[@rray848]

So many songs... "Back on the Chain Gang" "Brass in Pocket" "My City Was Gone"... The band has been around since 1978. The one consistent member has always been Chrissie Hynde. The next longest member is the drummer Martin Chambers . He was there for the beginning of the band... left for about 7 years in the late 80s till the early 90s then came back. Chrissie is from Akron, Ohio, but moved to London in her early 20s. The song "My City Was Gone" was about her returning to her home town in Ohio and finding all the places she liked when she was young were gone.

[@jonathangeraldrobinson720]

Martin Chambers is one of the best drummers in the business.

[@paulcwalina7910]

Chrissie Hynde would be on the female Mount Rushmore of rock and roll. The Pretenders' album, 'Learning to Crawl' is one of the best of the 1980's. 'Middle of the Road' 'My City Was Gone,' and 'Back on the Chain Gang' are the three biggest and best hits from that one but the whole album is phenomenal. Other songs by the band definitely worth a listen are their breakthrough hit 'Brass in Pocket,' 'Dont Get Me Wrong,' 'Time the Avenger,' and 'Message of Love.' So great to see you discover Chrissie. She's a remarkable talent and an important figure in rock history.

Check out Brass In Pocket, Back On The Chain Gang, Tattooed Love Boys. Also make a note for when this year gets to the holiday season, they do a version of Blue Christmas that's excellent. Edit: And while I'm thinking about female led bands from the late 70's and 80's, you guys gots to check out a group called Siouxsie and the Banshees. Great picks for them: Scarecrow, Kiss Them For Me, Cities In Dust, Christine, The Killing Jar, and they do an absolutely phenomenal cover of The Beatles' song Dear Prudence.

I am so happy you finally got to The Pretenders - I have been suggesting this group since you first started doing female Fridays. They were pioneers of the new wave/post punk movement starting in the late 70s. Chrissie is one of my favorite artists. She has released some solo work and continues to perform with The Pretenders. She also appeared on the TV show Friends and sang Smelly Cat with Phoebe. They do everything from soft ballads (I Go to Sleep, Show Me - two of my favorites) to real rockers (Mystery Achievement, I Hurt You) and even a Christmas song (2000 Miles). You really can't go wrong with The Pretenders - they have so many incredible songs.

And so many great songs...Stop Your Sobbing, Kid, Brass in Pocket, Message of Love, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, 2000 Miles, Don't Get Me Wrong, and the song that made me a Pretenders fan in the first place...Back on the Chain Gang!!!

I read or heard somewhere years ago that she was insecure about her voice but then she heard Bob Dylan sing and she decided that if he could sing, so could she. I'm very glad she did. There is a big difference between someone who's born with a naturally very beautiful voice and someone who is less gifted but learns how to make the very best of the voice they have even if it's not a voice that would typically classified as beautiful. Those are the voices I love the best.
