==History== ===Background=== Hynde, originally from [[Akron, Ohio]], moved to London in 1973, working at the weekly music paper ''[[NME]]''<ref name="The Great Rock Discography">{{cite book | first= Martin C. | last= Strong | year= 2000 | title= The Great Rock Discography | edition= 5th | publisher=Mojo Books | location= Edinburgh | pages= 767–769 | isbn= 1-84195-017-3}}</ref> and at [[Malcolm McLaren]] and [[Vivienne Westwood]]'s clothes store. She was involved with early versions of the [[Sex Pistols]], [[the Clash]], and [[The Damned (band)|the Damned]] and played in short-lived bands such as [[Masters of the Backside]] (1976) and [[The Moors Murderers (band)|the Moors Murderers]] (1978 lineup), but failed to find a regular or equal partnership in the bands she joined.<ref>Peter Buckley, {{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=haEfq-nKqjgC&q=Pretenders+stop+your+sobbing&pg=RA2-PA1-IA114 |title=The Rough Guide to Rock |page=813 |publisher=Rough Guides |year=2003 |isbn=1-84353-105-4 |access-date=8 November 2009}}</ref> Hynde's own provocative band project, centred around her own songwriting, was initially called (Mike Hunt's) Dishonorable Discharge and featured former [[London SS]] and future Damned members, along with Mick Jones and [[Sid Vicious]] (where Hynde taught Vicious to play guitar), but failed to get managerial backing from either Malcolm McLaren or [[Bernie Rhodes]], despite them both poaching her band members for, or asking her to fill in, in their pet projects.<ref>Jon Savage, England's Dreaming, p.146, 171-2</ref><ref>Jon Savage, England's Dreaming Tapes, p.329</ref> The Pretenders formed in 1978 after Dave Hill at [[Anchor Records]] heard some [[Demo (music)|demos]] of Hynde's music. He arranged a rehearsal studio in [[Denmark Street]], London, where a three-piece band consisting of Hynde, Mal Hart on bass (he had played with Hynde and [[Steve Strange]] in the Moors Murderers), and [[Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor|Phil Taylor]]<ref>Miles,{{cite book |title=The Pretenders by Miles |page=20|publisher=Omnibus Press |year=1980 |isbn=0-86001-802-4}}</ref> of [[Motörhead]] on drums played a selection of Hynde's original songs. Hill was impressed and arranged a day at Studio 51 to record another demo. Although it was rough, he felt he had seen and heard enough "star potential" to suggest that Hynde form a more permanent band to record for his new label, Real Records.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Hynde then formed a band composed of [[Pete Farndon]] on bass, [[James Honeyman-Scott]] on guitar, and Gerry Mcilduff on drums. This band, then without a name, recorded five tracks at Regents Park Studio in July 1978, including a cover of [[the Kinks]]' song "[[Stop Your Sobbing]]". Shortly thereafter, Gerry Mcilduff was replaced on drums by [[Martin Chambers]] (of [[the Vacants]]).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-vacants-worthless-trash-australian.html | title=Die or D.I.Y.?: The Vacants - "Worthless Trash" (Australian Edition Beat Records– BEA 7095) 1977 | date=18 April 2014 }}</ref> Hynde named the band the Pretenders after [[the Platters]] song "[[The Great Pretender]]",<ref>Deanna R.

In January 1980, the band reached No. 1 in the UK with "[[Brass in Pocket]]", which was also successful in the US, reaching No. 14 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> [[File:Pretenders Dec 81.JPG|thumb|left|The Pretenders (original line-up), Dominion Theatre, London, December 1981]] Their [[Pretenders (album)|self-titled debut album]] was released in January 1980 and was a success in the United Kingdom and the United States both critically and commercially.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography" /> Produced by [[Chris Thomas (record producer)|Chris Thomas]], it is regarded as one of the best debut albums of all time,<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-best-debut-albums-of-all-time-143608/|title=100 Best Debut Albums of All Time|date=22 March 2013|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=17 July 2019}}</ref> and has been named one of the best albums of all time by [[VH1]] (no. 52)<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/100_Greatest_Albums/JbFCQbLZNGkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=pretenders|title=Google Books Search Within Book: 100 Greatest Albums By VH1|access-date=9 May 2025}}</ref> and ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' (no. 155).<ref>{{cite magazine| url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-156826/the-pretenders-pretenders-159934/|year=2012| title=500 Greatest Albums of All Time Rolling Stone's definitive list of the 500 greatest albums of all time| magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]| access-date= 18 September 2019}}</ref> The second full-length album, ''[[Pretenders II]]'', was released during August 1981. ''Pretenders II'' included the songs from the US EP ''[[Extended Play (Pretenders EP)|Extended Play]]'', the [[MTV]] video success "Day After Day", and popular [[album oriented rock|album-radio]] tracks "The Adultress", "Birds of Paradise", "Bad Boys Get Spanked", and "The English Roses".<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> On 18 September 1981, the Pretenders were the musical guest on the US late night sketch comedy show [[Fridays (TV series)|''Fridays'']]. The band performed "The Adultress", "[[Message of Love]]" and "Louie, Louie" (not [[the Kingsmen]] song). [[Andy Kaufman]] was the guest host of the program on that night.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/features/chrissie-hynde-tig-notaro-interview-the-pretenders-memoir-aging-regret-exclusive-6693016/|title=Superfan Tig Notaro Interviews Chrissie Hynde About Her 'F--- Off' Attitude, Aging and Regret: Exclusive|magazine=Billboard|access-date=3 February 2022}}</ref> Due to Farndon's escalating drug abuse, he was fired from the band after a meeting between Hynde, Honeyman-Scott, and Chambers on 14 June 1982. Two days later, on 16 June 1982, Honeyman-Scott died of heart failure as a result of cocaine intolerance. While in the midst of forming a new band, Farndon was found dead by his wife on 14 April 1983. After taking heroin and passing out, he had drowned in his bathtub.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> ===Re-grouping (1983–1989)=== [[File:The Pretenders Learning To Crawl (1984 Sire publicity photo).jpg|thumb|The Pretenders in a 1984 publicity photo. An alternate photo from the same shoot would be used as the cover for ''[[Learning to Crawl]]''.]] Hynde and Chambers continued the band after Honeyman-Scott's death. During July 1982, a caretaker team of Hynde, Chambers, [[Rockpile]] guitarist [[Billy Bremner (musician)|Billy Bremner]], and [[Big Country]] bassist [[Tony Butler (musician)|Tony Butler]] was assembled to record the single "[[Back on the Chain Gang]]".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Buskin |first1=Richard |title=CLASSIC TRACKS: The Pretenders 'Back On The Chain Gang' Producer: Chris Thomas • Engineer: Steve Churchyard |url=https://www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-pretenders-back-chain-gang |website=Sound on Sound |publisher=SOS Publications Group and/or its licensors |access-date=17 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190422034825/https://www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-pretenders-back-chain-gang |archive-date=22 April 2019 |date=5 September 2005}}</ref><ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> The song was released in October and became their biggest success in the US, staying at No. 5 for three consecutive weeks. The single's B-side, "[[My City Was Gone]]" was (except for a few weeks in July and August of 1999) the theme music for ''[[the Rush Limbaugh Show]]'' since its inception.<ref name="Limbaugh">{{cite web |last1=Limbaugh |first1=Rush |title=How I Chose My Theme Song |url=https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/03/11/how_i_chose_my_theme_song/ |website=The Rush Limbaugh Show |access-date=5 March 2020}}</ref><ref name="mydad">{{cite web |last1=Hynde |first1=Chrissie |title=My Dad Loved Rush Limbaugh |url=https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/chrissie-hynde-rush-limbaugh/ |website=Hollywood in Toto |date=19 July 2018 |access-date=5 March 2020}}</ref> Hynde then set up a more permanent lineup for the band, keeping Chambers and adding [[Robbie McIntosh]] on guitar and [[Malcolm Foster]] on bass. "Middle of the Road" was this line-up's first single, released in the US in November 1983 and reaching the top 20 there. The US B-side, "[[2000 Miles]]", was released as a single in the UK. The third Pretenders album, ''[[Learning to Crawl]]'' was produced by "fifth Pretender" Chris Thomas and released in January 1984.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> In July 1985, the band (including Rupert Black on keyboards) played at [[Live Aid]].<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Soon after recording sessions for the next album began and one track had been completed, Hynde declared that Chambers was no longer playing well and dismissed him. Discouraged at the loss of his bandmate, Foster quit ("My whole argument was that Martin Chambers was the rhythm section of the Pretenders and it didn't really matter who was playing bass. So I just said I didn't want to be involved any more."<ref name="fosterguitarist">[http://www.simpleminds.org.uk/reallifereviews.html 'Come a Long Way'] – interview with Malcolm Foster by Michael Leonard – ''Guitarist'' magazine, September 1990</ref>) Hynde and McIntosh recorded the rest of the album in various sessions in [[New York City]] and [[Stockholm]] with assorted session musicians. Towards the end of the sessions, Hynde hired two of the guest players–bassist [[T.M. Stevens]] and ex-[[Haircut One Hundred]] drummer [[Blair Cunningham]]—as the new Pretenders rhythm section. The ''[[Get Close]]'' album was released in 1986; the disc included the top 10 singles, "[[Don't Get Me Wrong]]" from the film ''[[Gung Ho (film)|Gung Ho]]'' (helped by a popular video homage to the television series ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|the Avengers]]'') and "[[Hymn to Her]]", a No. 8 success in the UK.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> In the US, both "Don't Get Me Wrong" and "[[My Baby (Pretenders song)|My Baby]]" reached No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' [[Mainstream Rock (chart)|Mainstream Rock]] chart.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pretender to the Throne|newspaper=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|page=65|date=29 May 2004|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3xAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA65|access-date=9 June 2014}}</ref> For the ''Get Close'' tour, [[Bernie Worrell]] was added to the live lineup on keyboards. During the tour, Hynde felt the band's sound had strayed from its [[New wave music|new wave]] rock roots. She believed that she was now fronting a new band that was "not Pretenders". Partway into the tour, she took drastic action: Stevens and Worrell were both sacked, Malcolm Foster was reinstated on bass, and Rupert Black returned on keyboards.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}} In mid 1987, McIntosh left the band and was replaced by ex-Smiths guitarist [[Johnny Marr]], who remained with the group until early 1988. ===1990s=== In 1990, Hynde hired session players (including one-time Pretenders Bremner and Cunningham and bassist [[John McKenzie (musician)|John Mckenzie]]) and recorded a new Pretenders album, ''[[Packed!]]'' Hynde was the only person pictured anywhere on the album, and was the only official member of the band.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> By 1993, Hynde had teamed with ex-[[Katydids (band)|Katydids]] guitarist [[Adam Seymour (musician)|Adam Seymour]] to form a new version of Pretenders. The team of Hynde and Seymour then hired a number of session musicians to record ''[[Last of the Independents]]'' that year, including ex-Smiths bassist [[Andy Rourke]], ex-[[The Primitives|Primitives]] bassist Andy Hobson, and former Pretender and drummer/writer/producer James Hood, previously with [[the Impossible Dreamers]] and [[Moodswings (band)|Moodswings]]. But by the end of the album sessions (and for the subsequent tour) the official band line-up was Hynde, Seymour, Hobson, and returning drummer Martin Chambers.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> When ''Last of the Independents'' was released in 1994, it rated gold in the US. Lead single "Night In My Veins" was a minor success in the US, a mid-chart success in the UK, and a top 10 success in Canada. The second single was the album's centrepiece ballad "[[I'll Stand by You]]"; this track received substantial airplay, and was a top 10 success in the UK, and top 20 in the US (No. 16 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100) and in Canada.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> On 10 April 1999, Hynde led the memorial concert "[[Concert for Linda|Here, There and Everywhere – A Concert for Linda]]" for her late close friend [[Linda McCartney]] at the [[Royal Albert Hall]], London, organised by Hynde and [[Carla Lane]]. Pretenders were the backing band for all artists.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.paulmccartney.com/live/tour-archives/here-there-and-everywhere-concert-for-linda|title=Here, There, and Everywhere: A Concert for Linda|website=Paul McCartney|access-date=3 December 2019}}</ref> ''[[Viva el Amor]]'' was released during 1999, as was their collaboration with [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]] on the album ''[[Reload (Tom Jones album)|Reload]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/the-information-on-viva-el-amor-by-the-pretenders-1094534.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220618/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/the-information-on-viva-el-amor-by-the-pretenders-1094534.html |archive-date=18 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=The Information on 'Viva El Amor!' by Pretenders|date=19 May 1999|work=The Independent|access-date=3 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/robbie-williams-215-1400543|title=Tom Jones Gets Loaded|date=28 June 1999|work=NME|access-date=3 December 2019}}</ref> ===2000s=== The Pretenders joined with [[Emmylou Harris]] on ''[[Return of the Grievous Angel: A Tribute to Gram Parsons]]'', performing the song "[[She (Charles Aznavour song)|She]]". A ''Greatest Hits'' compilation followed in 2000. During 2002 ''[[Loose Screw]]'' was released by [[Artemis Records]], the first Pretenders record to be released by a company other than WEA. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' noted its "refinement, stylish melodies and vocal fireworks," while ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' called it "slick, snarky pop with flashes of brilliance".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/loose-screw/critic-reviews?dist=positive |title=Critic Reviews for Loose Screw |publisher=Metacritic |date=12 November 2002 |access-date=19 April 2014}}</ref> In March 2005, the Pretenders were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-2005-the-pretenders-88119/|title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2005: Pretenders|magazine=Rolling Stone|first=Gil|last=Kaufman|date=8 March 2005}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/pretenders|title=Pretenders|website=Rock & Roll Hall of Fame}}</ref> At the induction ceremony, the band performed "[[Precious (Pretenders song)|Precious]]" and "[[Message of Love]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bestclassicbands.com/pretenders-rock-hall-induction-2005-3-18-16/|title=Pretenders Rock Hall Induction 2005|website=Bestclassicbands.com|date=1 June 2015}}</ref> During her acceptance speech, Hynde named and thanked all the replacement members of the group, then said: <blockquote> "I know that the Pretenders have looked like a tribute band for the last 20 years. ... And we're paying tribute to James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon, without whom we wouldn't be here.
