I don't really know why... But she just bugs the shit out of me. Also, the alternative stations I liked played their stuff a LOT.

That's part of what tips things into the "hate" territory for me. Not just a bad song, but being kind of forced to listen to it constantly.

IMO, Chrissie Hynde belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of female rock vocalists.

Pretenders and Pretenders II are post punk nirvana…

IMO, The Pretenders went from a seminal, jingle-jangle post-punk band to more of a rock and roll act after James Honeyman Scott OD’d from cocaine in 1982.

Right, but you took that off the board.

Look, I knew it was going to be controversial. It's like saying you don't like sushi. MOST ppl like sushi, but we all know someone that just doesn't.

I'll take the abuse (jeez SC), nothing I can do about how my brain deals with their sound.

This is my answer every time I hear this question. That song makes me instantly angry.

Well, now I'm upset because I thought you were joking!

Look the Pretenders take was bad but the fact that no one has banned that absolute piece of shit “The Sybian” for disparaging Sailing is making me reconsider whether I belong here anymore.

It’s you or me, Rass. This Swamp ain’t big enough for both of us.


I wasn’t making fun of the song, just saying it’s impossible to get work done while it’s blasting because it can’t be ignored!

I think I've heard someone else singing that dirge.

It is a solid candidate for the title.
