The Pretenders' 1980 debut was all killer, no filler and opened with this:

"let them leave you up in the air..let them brush your rock and roll hair"
Elliot Easton serves up a minimalist and magnificent solo in the middle of this classic.

“They play Sleepy Jackson on the radio, and that’s the way I like it!”
They play Sleepy Jackson on the radio more than that song is the way I would like it
Come to this and good dancers got actual commercial airplay back in the day.
Would never happen these days. Indie rock almost crossed over to mainstream in the 2000's, but never fully, then rock died.

There’s no comparison. Funeral was a masterpiece, and they tried excruciatingly hard to replicate it over their next few LP’s before kind of deviating into making Talking Heads spiky guitar and backbeat drums type music. It was a nice change, but they sound like a completely different band, and didn’t reach any real high points.
You could nominate 5 or 6 belters, but Tunnels #1 is up there. Crown of Love is my personal favourite.

Love the album, but personally, I think the Suburbs is better.

Neon Bible was my entry point after first listening to the song, Keep the Car Running. Went back an album and was blown away. Wake Up is an amazing song, the sort that belongs in a museum preserved so not lost for future generations
the Suburbs was fine enough but not on the same level in my view. Didn’t mind Reflector, has a few nice things on there. Haven’t had a reason to get into the latest one though.
