The Pretenders

Musical Group

The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in 1978, led by singer-songwriter Chrissie Hynde.

Formed in 1978 and led by Chrissie Hynde, early lineup included James Honeyman-Scott (guitar), Pete Farndon (bass) and Martin Chambers (drums). The band suffered the deaths and departures of founding members James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon in the early 1980s and continued under Hynde's leadership.

DeBaser's reviews praise Chrissie Hynde's leadership and songwriting and highlight the band's evolution from punk roots to refined pop-rock. Learning to Crawl is noted as a mature, refined record; the debut Pretenders album is celebrated for its elegant pop. Greatest Hits compiles their standout singles.

For:Fans of classic rock, new wave, jangle pop and Chrissie Hynde; readers of album reviews and 1980s music enthusiasts.

 There is nothing more to add, it is better to be simple as simple is, after all, the musical offering of Hynde and her associates.
