That all ends with "Last Of The Independents". There were great songs which followed over the years and some weak ones as well.

Just another great band who found out that going too far and staying alive coulden't bear the traffic. The band here (and still the band 6 years on) are a polished, streamlined and cohesive rock unit.When James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon died many people I am sure (myself among them) thought the Pretenders were finished. Chrissie Hynde has said in interviews that her strength lies in being able to bring out the best in her band mates. But only lately has it dawned on me how incredibly well done "Last Of The Independents" really is.Here you have the 2nd reincarnation of a great band. "Time the Avenger" and "Message of Love" also performed but not included."I have always felt that this was a well crafted and credible work from the Pretenders.
