Pretenders, produced by the underrated Nick Lowe, was the first great rock album of the 80's. A British band with an American frontwoman (previously a NME music critic), Pretenders covered the gamut from blistering rock to reggae groves, soulful ballads to pure pop singles. Let's see which tune from this impressive collection rises to the top.





Track listing:

1. Precious
2. Phone Call
3. Up the Neck
4. Tattooed Love Boys
5. Space Invader
6. Wait
7. Stop Your Sobbing
8. Kid
9. Private Life
10. Brass in Pocket
11. Lovers of Today
12. Mystery Achievement

Not "Lovers of Today"! That's one of my very favorite Pretenders songs! That guitar is just wondrous.

I'll come out with it- I'm rooting for either "Private Life" or "Mystery Achievement".

Goodbye Tattooed Love Boys.

First?

Stax said:

Yeah- I do like it though. Their debut is just too good. It's a shame to eliminate anything.

Moonbeam said:

That shit is infectious man.

and Private Life is about to go with the quickness.

Moonbeam said:

That is why I picked this one.

lilgish said:

"Private Life" better stick around for awhile.

Moonbeam said:

we'll see

Goodbye

Brass in pocket

think about it

so my vote is for Space Invader, which leaves us with a tie. Someone break it, please.

Stax said:

I agree that this will be a difficult record to eliminate tunes from.

If I didn't know you better i'd say you were prejudiced because it's an instrumental.
Although, the lyrics are so good on the rest of the tunes, this might be the easiest one to dump.

To help move your Survivor along i'll go with it.
