The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978
Yes The original band consisted of initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde.
My favorite pretenders song is  "Stop Your Sobbing" what is yours?
that is mine as well i really like the acustics on that song
The second full-length album, Pretenders II, was released during August 1981 I think was the best album ever
it was a pretty good albumb Hynde launched a solo career in 2014 and the Pretenders were dormant.
