Album Review

Pretenders is the debut studio album by the British-American band The Pretenders, released on 7 January 1980 under Real Records (Sire Records in the United States). A combination of rock, punk and pop music, this album made the band famous. The album features the singles ''Stop Your Sobbing'', ''Kid'' and ''Brass in Pocket''.

Nick Lowe produced the Pretenders' first single, ''Stop Your Sobbing'', but decided not to work with them again as he thought the band was ''not going anywhere''. Chris Thomas took over on the subsequent recording sessions.

Pretenders debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart in the week of its release and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. It also made the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum during 1982 by the RIAA. Pretenders has been named one of the best albums of all time by VH1 (#52). In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album number 155 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and, in 1989, ranked it the 20th best album of the 1980s. In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at #64 on its list, ''Best Albums of the 1980s''. [wikipedia.org]
