Day 16: A song that's a classic favourite
"Talk of the Town" - #ThePretenders (1980)
TBH I'm not quite sure why this song has stuck with me so closely over the years. Did I hear it at an impressionably young age? Was is because it was on the soundtrack to that evocative, coming-of-age cult film Times Square? Does it have something to do with that addictive hook (Am7 > B7) and #ChrissieHynde's singular vocals? Yes to all of it. Anyway it's a classic I don't ever tire of.

Well Bob, that gives me an excuse to post this wonderful live version (not the original line-up though)
Ha! It was The Pretenders who first brought it to my attention in 'Message of Love"
"I'll Stand by You" is a song recorded by English-American rock band #thePretenders from their sixth studio album, #LastOfTheIndependents (1994). The song was written by #ChrissieHynde and the songwriting team of #TomKelly and #BillySteinberg, and produced by #IanStanley. The song is a ballad in which the singer pledges love and faithful assistance to a loved one in times of personal darkness. Released on April 11, 1994 by #Sire, #WarnerBros.

Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders has written many great ballads over the years, I went through The Pretenders discography and picked my favorite 25(!) that she's either written on her own or co-written and put them in Apple Music (below) and Spotify (in the reply) playlists https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/chrissie-hyndes-best-pretenders-ballads/pl.u-526bKT6zqzP #music #ChrissieHynde #ThePretenders #ballads

Been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice"
Here's a wonderful live version of 'Back on the Chain Gang' by The Pretenders:
@openculture Not much happens. Then The Pretenders come on at 1:11 and kick down the doors.
