5.0 out of 5 stars Melodic rock at its best, 14 Dec 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Singles (Audio CD)
What a delicious dish of melodic rock and pop! From the opening number Stop Your Sobbing to their lovely interpretation of I Got You Babe that closes the album, this is a non-stop feast for the ears.

Chrissie Hynde is an expert vocalist, perfectly capturing the mood of every song with her nuanced vocals, whilst the rest of the band moves in perfect synth. The guitar playing is amongst the best you'll find in any rock music from the 1980s. Almost all of the songs are masterpieces, but my special favourites include Stop Your Sobbing, Kid, Brass In Pocket, Talk Of The Town, Message Of Love, Don't Get Me Wrong and I Got You Babe.

The music is tender and sensual at times, raucous and ebullient at others. Those who enjoy The Pretenders might also like their contemporaries Pat Benatar, The Cars or Joan Jet. This album should however appeal to a wide spectrum of people who appreciate tuneful and intelligent rock music that is still in touch with its roots.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a really good CD., 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Singles (Audio CD)
One of my all time favourite albums. I could listen to this CD over and over again. It contains all the Pretenders top hits and makes for really good listening. Takes you back and I strongly recommend this for anyone with good taste. A great collection of tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic
The CD is excellent. Although it was made when God was a boy, it is a classic and I was chuffed to bits when I found the CD to replace the cassette tape I had.
