    I live in Seattle, one night my friend and I where at a mariners game and on the way home we drove past the Moore theater and the pretenders we're playing. We paid like 30 bucks each. One of the best shows I've ever seen. And I've seen a ton of shows.

      I’m 56, I remember when this came out. But, my ‘scene’ wasn’t supposed to like the lead girl rock bands. It was the Ramones, Idol, Judas Priest (before the world knew what’s his name was gay), Ozzy, etc. I was hooked by her voice then and now.

    Chrissie Hynde is one of the handful of real geniuses of rock. Nobody else is so bright and dark at the same time, in the very same moment. She makes you soar but you ain't wearing rose colored glasses when you do. Her voice, her music, her lyrics. Pure artistry.

Whenever I happen to hear a song on the radio by them it sounds very distinctive and just have this certain appeal and quality that is so rare

    Saw the Pretenders in 87' at a small 3,000 seat auditorium in Portland OR when Robbie was still in the band. Good they were unbelievable, every guy in the place thought Chrissie was singing directly at them. Never seen so many guys ignoring their dates/wives/girlfriends like they did on that night, never saw so many women ignoring theirs either. Chrissie could make you fall in love with her just watching and listening to her. As good as they were I would loved to have seen the original line-up with Honeyman-Scott. Aw hell I don't care, they were freakin' awesome! They opened with Roomful Of Mirrors and the place went absolutely insane, you could feel the electricity and something else in that room. It was weird, like I was trippin' but I had only smoked a little weed (and weed wasn't that great back then) and had a beer or two before the show, this was just pure magic. My girl was just as blown away.

My daughter (21) was watching reruns of Friends and they had the scene where Chrissie Hynde takes over Phoebe's job as a performer at the coffee shop, and I was like, oh yeah, I forgot she was on the show. My daughter says, who's that? So I got to introduce her to The Pretenders.

    I caught her tambourine at the Tower Theatre in ‘82. Still have it on my studio wall. 🌸

      I caught one of Martin's sticks she threw into the audience at the Capitol Theatre (Passaic NJ). With my forehead. I was too stunned to fight when someone else grabbed it unfortunately.

    Just WOW! Chrissie's voice is very strong, and Martin Chambers has always been an underrated drummer. I've seen them many times. She stuck her guitar pick in my hand, and I'm still high over it. I love their early punk music.

    Tells you everything about the old boys club of rock in the us back then that this monster had to emigrate to the uk to get noticed. Heart... Susie Quatro and the Runaways... lots of valiant efforts and great work by now-unknowns... but basically bands fronted by women who actually rocked hard didn't take off until the 90s and even then it was a struggle for the women doing it. Hats off to Hynde for bringing it and breaking through like she did.
