      That's Robbie McIntosh, and I may be his biggest fan. He signed on with McCartney in 1988 and was with him until 1994, which is where I discovered his playing. He's had a huge influence on me as a guitarist, and he's a great guy to fans, or he was with me.

      The lead guitarist is Robbie McIntosh, who, regardless of who he's been with (McCartney, John Mayer, Norah Jones, Robbie McIntosh Band, etc) has always been a huge influence on me as a guitarist.

    I saw this iteration of PRETENDERS in Cleveland in early ‘84; though their showing was a fine one showcasing a fine album, I still had wished I’d been blessed to witness the unique, indelible magic of the original lineup: 40 years later, only more so!..

    One of the earliest songs to denounce suburban sprawl. I still can't visit Ohio without this track playing endlessly across the state.

      Not to mention 85% of Ohioans have experienced their own sprawl around the waist. Seems most of that state is comprised of fatties. It's round on both sides.

      Totally agree. Bought it on cassette tape over here in New Zealand in '84 when it was released [Jan 21]. I turned 21 in '84 and was an apprentice truck mechanic. Rode around on my 1979 Honda XR500 motorbike and also owned a 1966 Holden HR Special car. Unfortunately the car only had a radio. However the cassette tape went everywhere with me and if ever I got the chance I would play it on a cassette deck at a party or a friend's car cassette deck. My favorite song on the album was easily 'Time The Avenger' - loved the faster rhythm of it. I was in to speed. Opening track 'Middle of the Road' was a farking excellent opening track. And how this song too? 'My City Was Gone' has a wicked bassline groove to it. I thought vocalist Chrissie Hynde was so cool. Some tragic shit went down with The Pretenders though. I mean how does a group deal with 2 members OD-ing let alone 1...

      The opening riff to Time is so goddamned good.
      The best song, for most folks, is My City Was Gone. And rightly so.
      But my favorite are It’s A Thin Line Between Love and Hate and Thumbelina.

    LYRICS :
    I went back to Ohio
    But my city was gone
    There was no train station
    There was no downtown
    South Howard had disappeared
    All my favorite places
    My city had been pulled down
    Reduced to parking spaces
    A, o, way to go Ohio
    Well I went back to Ohio
    But my family was gone
    I stood on the back porch
    There was nobody home
    I was stunned and amazed
    My childhood memories
    Slowly swirled past
    Like the wind through the trees
    A, o, oh way to go Ohio
    I went back to Ohio
    But my pretty countryside
    Had been paved down the middle
    By a government that had no pride
    The farms of Ohio
    Had been replaced by shopping malls
    And Muzak filled the air
    From Seneca to Cuyahoga falls
    Said, a, o, oh way to go Ohio
