Chrissie Hynde, an Ohioan who moved to London in 1973, formed the Pretenders in Hereford in 1978, and the band's 1980 debut made "Brass in Pocket" and "Mystery Achievement" new wave standards. "The Wait" was KROQ's number two song of 1980, and the deaths of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon in 1982 and 1983 left Hynde to carry the band forward.

"Back on the Chain Gang", "Middle of the Road" and "My City Was Gone" placed on KROQ and 91X year-end countdowns through the mid-1980s, and the Pretenders' early catalog has appeared on more than 350 countdown positions on RockLists, one of the deepest showings of any 1980s act.
