Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Bien loin de l'embonpoint de Debbie – Blondie – Harry qui s'époumone encore à l'orée de la cinquantaine, sur les juvéniles valeurs d'un "I don't Wanna Live in a Real World", Chrissie Hynde reste digne. La dame a beau avoir abandonné perfecto rouge et pantalon de cuir, elle incarne encore le mythe de la "street credibility", arborant la même coupe de cheveux, les mêmes yeux charbonneux. Après un retour gagnant en 1999 avec Viva El Amor!, The Pretenders réussissent le tour de force archéologique de raviver la flamme de nos amours adolescentes en vingt titres. Alors qu'une première tentative, The Singles, regroupait les hits enregistrés entre 1980 et 1987, The Greatest Hits égrènent les merveilles accumulées en vingt ans tout au long de 7 albums studio, exception faite du négligeable "Packed". De "Brass in Pocket" à "Night in My Veins / Last of The Independants", de "Kid" à "Human" (Tin Tin Out Remix), The Pretenders se transforment en juke-box de luxe offrant une spéciale dédicace aux vétérans punk-rock. Mais, au-delà de toute référence nostalgique, le fan se délectera de quelques singles désormais introuvables dont "Spiritual High (State Of Independence)" enregistré avec Moodswings et "I got You Babe", reprise de Bono & Cher chantée avec UB 40. Fortement recommandé. --Sabrina Silamo
Album Description
Import-only compilation from the Alt-Rock/New Wave outfit led by Chrissie Hynde. While Sire's U.S. collection The Singles concisely represents the best from 1980-87 by Chrissie and Co., this retrospective is sure to be treasured by fans as it contains most of that discs cuts (13 of the 16), plus all of the group's best post '87 tracks including gems like 'I'll Stand By You', 'Night In My Veins', and 'Human' (Tin Tin Out Remix) plus Hynde's smash collaboration 'Spiritual High (State Of Independence)' with Moodswings! Listeners are treated to a total of 20 classics from The Pretenders' first two decades which also includes favorites like 'Back On The Chain Gang', 'Don't Get Me Wrong', 'Brass In Pocket' and 'Middle Of The Road'. Warner. 2000.

No thanks, I'll... "WAIT",
By
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Sorry, for me this collection doesn't do Chrisse Hynde and The Pretenders justice as the great ... rock n roll band that they are. I'm not surprised or anything. These "Greatest Hits" packages are almost always geared towards making a band look like easy going sellouts.The hard facts are that THE PRETENDERS had enough kutzpah and swagger to hang with the likes of AC/DC and The Stones. Unfortunately, this collection (although containg a number of fine songs), completely misses the point of THE PRETENDERS as the great ROCK band that they are. Please, opt to buy the first few studio albums and listen to Chrissie's ... attitude on gems like "PRECIOUS", "THE WAIT", "MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT", "MY CITY WAS GONE" or "THE ADULTRESS." These great songs not only feature Chrissie's bid as one of rock n roll's very finest female artists but they also feature some of the best angst riddled guitar riffs, energized melodies and pounding rhythms in rock history. To anyone not familiar with THE PRETENDERS and who considers themselves a "ROCKER", please avoid this collection and purchase those wonderful studio albums: PRETENDERS, PRETENDERS II & LEARNING TO CRAWL. You'll have a much more clear picture of this great band after listening. If you just want some nice, safe radio songs then I guess this collection is for you. Personally, I would "WAIT" for a better set(one that really shows the band's swagger as well as their pop craft) and I think Chrissie would agree. M.L.

If you ever liked a Pretenders song, You'll love this!,
By
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
It would be impossible to make a collection with all good Pretenders songs on just one CD. They would need to make a Pretenders box. But this collection contains the biggest hits and almost every song is fantastic. The album starts with "Brass in Pocket", one of their very first hits, and ends with "I'll Stand by You", one of their biggest hits. On the way we have some fantastic songs, like "Kid", "Human", "Night In My Veins", "Hymn to Her", and "Back On the Chain Gang". I can almost guarantee that everybody who has ever liked a song by the Pretenders will LOVE this collection. If you haven't "discovered" them before, do it now!
