Poll question: Best Pretenders Song

Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 05:52 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli

Obviously this list is severely truncated. I'm partial to just about anything on the first album. I really like "Birds of Paradise" and "Bad Boys Get Spanked" off Pretenders II (when I'm in the mood) and "I'll Stand By You" as far as the big hits go...

I really like the version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" off the "Very Special Christmas" album too...

1. I like their hits but 'Mystery Achievement' is a favorite.

'Up The Neck' is another......geez does that make me masochistic?

3. All their hits, but "Stop Your Sobbing" is a fave.

Maybe it's the Ray Davies connection.

8. "Back on the Chain Gang"

Also like "Brass in Pocket", "I'll Stand by You" and their take on "Thin Line Between Love and Hate." But I admit, I'm not familiar with a lot of their stuff, so my preferences are tilted toward the singles.
