It's been a long time since I listened to that one, but I beat this album to death during my last year in college while studying in England (such good times. The final exams—all or nothing, none of your work during the year counted—were stress city but in the end not that hard). I'm pretty sure that this song was the designated single on the album—hence the poppiness. It was a big hit here and in the UK and rightfully so. |

| There's a tough exterior to Chrissy Hynde that is appealing...but she also has a vulnerability in her vocal tone that makes her so unique. Great tune...but not my favorite of Pretenders. |

| I've always liked this group and Chrissie's solo stuff too. I can't think of any songs of hers/theirs I dislike. |
| Can't stand this. |
| Love this. |

(don't crucify me, please!)
Hating a decade is lame and a silly prejudice. I mean really narrow minded to shut your ears to a period, any period of time has things for you to like and not like.
Should I hate the '50's because of Pat Boone when there was great doo wop vocal music to enjoy or Elvis Presley? Should I hate the '60's because of some wretched song by a bubblegum band and tune out the Beatles? Should I hate '70's music because of Afternoon Delight and close my ears to Led Zeppelin? Should I hate the '00's because of some idiotic rap or techno song and tune out Gnarls Barkley or the great songs I hear on Radio Paradise.
OF COURSE NOT.
