The Pretenders — The Wait

Video 3 Comments

In honor of Redd Kross playing at the Amsterdam Bar, I'm going to Punk School this week.

We are starting off with The Pretenders, which is the band that got me to stop listening to Foreigner and start listening to The Sex Pistols.  When I first heard this song, it grabbed me by the throat and threw my down on the floor.  I haven't gotten up since.  Sorry about the b&w video, but the version is worth it.

  1. A few notes for the week:

    I'm only going to play videos from the era from which the songs were recorded, which means video quality is going to suffer. But I wanted to capture what it was like at the time, not Crissy Hynde playing with some session guys at a public radio studio in 2007.

    I think I did a good job of avoiding songs with lots of swears but no guarantee something didn't slipped through.

    If you can, plays these loud.

    1. I will be playing not loud at work, but will attempt to follow your advice once home. Looking forward to this week.

  2. Fun fact that I just learned: Hynde was in a band in college (Kent State) with Mark Mothersbaugh.
