Way to go, Ohio.

First album is a classic. Two good ones after that...not a huge fan

I assure you, it's those first 3 records (and the EP) that nabbed them the slot.

The first four were classics to me....

One of the best voices in rock n roll.

Learning To Crawl is great, the last good thing that I've heard from them is the single humanin the late 90s.

Chrissie is a cool chick. I like her.

I seem to remember these lyrics getting under somebody's skin at one point.

Tattooed Love Boys - The Pretenders

The mid twenty joys around a heart that's black and blue
I tore my knees up getting to you
'Cause I needed
To find out what the thing was for
Been reading
But man the time came to explore

I went apewire ’cause I thought
Like I’d like it little tease
But I didn’t mean it
But you mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay, yeah

A good time was guaranteed for one and all
The tattoos did target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called out
I, i, i, I found out what the wait was about

I was a good time, yeah, I got pretty good
At changing tyres upstairs bro
I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for

Now I see you
All impressed and half undressed
You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys
Have got you where I used to lay
Well ha ha too bad, but you know what they say
Stop snivellin’, you’re gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man

Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You...are that.



She's looks like the kind of girl that you'd catch a social disease from, but you wouldn't care.

Love love LOVE them....

C.H. is such a fucking bad ass....I crack up when I hear stories about her. Few years back in a Rolling Stones issue she was interviewed and was asked about a Fleetwood Mac show she attended and had to put Carly Simon in her place. I think Ms.Simon was getting annoyed with Chrissy's outbursts and CH turned around and told her to fucking move if it bothered her...LOL

They're OK , but i always hated that Christmas song

Yeah, but where's Blondie?

GangstaFam said:

Good question, their absence is disgraceful and absurd. Blondie should be in there before The Pretenders--their first platter appeared a year or two earlier than Chrissie and her lads.

trashoblanco said:

Yeah. The year that the Ramones and Talking Heads got inducted, Tina Weymouth made a point to mention that Blondie should've been up there with them. They're part of that holy trinity of CBGB's bands and just as influential. Pity.

Actually . .it was at a surprise gig Joni Mitchell played in NYC to celebrate her birthday. Chrissie was screaming 'Let it out, Joni!' and Carly got all uptight on her. Accounts vary as to what went down, but the best one I heard had Chrissie putting Carly in a headlock and pointing at the stage sayin "You see THAT?? That's a SINGER!!"

That carp-mouthed heiffer realized she was put in her place and split.

Like there'd be a contest. Think about it, in the early 70s while Carly was sittin around smokin' weed with some guy in saggy jeans named James Taylor, Chrissie was in Ohio raising hell at Kent State biker bars sportin black mesh tank tops with nothin on underneath.

And ya know Sid Vicious' famous padlock necklace? A gift from the great pretender.

Ever hear who taught Joe Strummer how to play guitar?

That's right it was a Joni show...thanks for the correction...I could'nt remember.....

GangstaFam said:

I'd be worried about it if I didn't think Blondie would make it sometime. I have a feeling they'll be in there before long.
