The Pretenders Tickets Continued
The Pretenders' debut album, Pretenders, was
released in January 1980 and was a great success in both the United
Kingdom and the US, both critically and with chart-topping sales.
Pretenders was subsequently named one of the best albums of
all time by VH1 (#52) and Rolling Stone (#155).
The second full-length album, Pretenders II, was released
in August 1981. Most critics at the time called it disappointing,
although it is now generally considered a great album. Pretenders
II is more spread-out than the debut, and included the
Extended Play hit singles, the MTV video hit "Day After Day"
and popular album-radio tracks "The Adulteress", "Birds of Paradise"
and "The English Roses". According to some critics, "Talk of the
Town" is an unrequited-love song about Hynde's old friend Johnny
Rotten.
The Pretenders' album Viva el Amor was released in
1999, as was their collaboration with Tom Jones on the album Reload. A Greatest Hits
compilation followed in 2000 and Loose Screw in 2002. In early
2006, The Pretenders has their latest release, a box set
entitled Pirate Radio, which they are currently touring to
promote.
