Porcelain - Pretenders
[link] Great to see live footage of the Pretenders from 1980. They were great with very simple, but sophisticated, guitar and bass licks. They could turn them into incredible hooks. Less than two years after this, guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon were both dead from drug-related causes. The two LPs with this original lineup were their best (as well as stuff that was on EPs). Their first album with their post-1982 lineup, Learning to Crawl, was also amazing.
