The Pretenders band / Chrissie Hynde Licensed Merchandise
100% Cotton T-Shirt

Over the years, the Pretenders became a vehicle for guitarist/vocalist Chrissie Hynde's songwriting, yet they were a full-fledged band when they formed in the late '70s. With their initial records, the group crossed the bridge between punk/new wave and Top 40 pop more than any other band, recording a series of hard, spiky singles that were also melodic and immediately accessible. The Pretenders' hit songs include "Brass in Pocket" (1979), "Talk of the Town" (1980), "Back on the Chain Gang" (1982), "Middle of the Road" (1983), "Don't Get Me Wrong" (1986), and "I'll Stand by You" (1994). The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
