Summary: Great CD!
Comment: A compilation of ALL their hits. The pretenders are probably the most
underated band from the 70's - 80's. The guitar work on the CD is so tasty. Talented musicians and great songs! A must have for your CD collection.

Summary: Don't pretend
Comment: Good collection. Thought it would be a little better. The running combo of tracks 7-8-9 back to back makes it worth it. If not a pretenders fan, pass on this one

Summary: Love the music
Comment: Chryssie belts out the songs (as Pretenders fans know) bringing feeling from the depths of the soul. Bravo!

Summary: Mellow, Dramatic, and Rockin' Chrissie
Comment: What can I really say that no one else has said already, I'm not sure? BUT, I will have to say something anyway. I've never been a Pretenders fan, I've listened to some of their music over the years but couldn't have said which songs they were. I recently heard Brass In Pocket and my ears liked it, so I bought the Cd. I'm so happy that I did because I am now an official Pretenders fan. All are great songs, which make this a great because it includes their hit singles, which I'm sure doesn't expose all of their greatness.

Summary: Pretenders Deliver the Hits
Comment: Chrissie Hynde and Company remain a formidable rock entity in this hard-driving overview of their 1979-86 work. "Brass in Pocket," "Back on the Chain Gang," "Middle of the Road" and "Don't Get Me Wrong" still pack a sonic wallop. If they had included the classic B-side "My City Was Gone," this CD would have merited five stars.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Ignoring the "Precious" side of Chrissie Hynde's rocking and writing, The Singles still captures a good bit of what was special about her in the '80s. Bopping assertions of strength ("Brass in Pocket"), wistful dreaminess ("Talk of the Town"), flat-out weepers ("2000 Miles"), her tough-mom attitude ("Middle of the Road")--the many sides of her seven-inches are generously surveyed herein. --Rickey Wright
