Agreed, but this is one of their worst tracks ever...30+ years later, it isn't getting better w/ age.

Chrissie Hynde inhabits the short list of the greatest women rockers, nay, rockers of all-time. Shame her brilliance escapes you. You'll be happy to know that, unlike The Pretenders,  Muse is probably out on tour somewhere right now.

Perhaps he should have rephrased that in the past tense. I am still sick of constant airplay songs from 30 years ago!!!  I have not listened to commercial radio since the 90s as I would gather most sophisticated music listeners would not have either with the advent and proliferation of wonderful college radio.

Many people do not have much of a choice - especially while driving or on the job.  However, when I do (grudgingly) listen to "popular music" or "regular" radio, I hear a lot of Eagles, Journey, Elton John, Tom Petty, etc., but I rarely hear this song.

 Seconded - this song epitomizes C. H.'s amazing stuff.  I gotta say, it made the end of my day to hear this one.  I feel so much better now, thank you.

I like The Pretenders, even saw one of their very 1st shows in the US, but this track is in serious danger of overplay on RP.  I'd dial back on the rotation.

I never tire of The Pretenders, no matter how many times they're played on the radio.  The songs seem as fresh as they did when they were new.

The Pretenders are one of my favourit groups. I remember 1979 "Brass in Pocket" i heard it nearly every day at Radio AFN-Frankfurt. From 1979 to June 1980 this was my at the army.....For all fans of the Pretenders buy the 4 CD Compilation"Pirate Radio" Pretenders from 1979-2005
