The four hundred and seventy-seventh album: #477 The Pretenders - Pretenders
Behind the Pretenders' perky new wave musical style lies a punk edge, a rougher and harsher set of lyrics that carries far more of a message than I'd associate with the style. Even as it gets closer to a ballad, to reggae or just generally poppy sounds, there's a craft put into it that feels like it doesn't usually show up like that.
