Got to be Back on The Chain Gang. Recorded in the aftermath of the death of James Honeyman-Scott. Nice to see Johnny Marr back playing with them again last weekend, given how Honeyman-Scott influenced his style of play.

btw - whoever it was in the Glastonbury thread that asked when did Theresa May become the lead singer in the Pretenders won post of the week imo.

Fireworks in the away end! Does this count as a 'shock' result ? Swedish Pop duo First Aid Kit beating the legendary Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young!

Deja Vu 9 - 11 Fireworks

I was not expecting that.

America or Sound of Silence might have pipped BOTCG to the vote, but this Tom and Jerry effort not so much.

 

[NZBlue]

Neither are my favourite by bands that I like. I think I need some thinking time on this one

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Not my favourite Pretenders song (that accolade goes to ‘Kid’), but still a quality effort. Chrissie Hynde is rock royalty.

Plenty would have not just 2 in fairness

 

[BimboBob]

one of my least favourite S&G songs against a very good Pretenders one. Easy choice.
