that Pretenders debut album is absolutely briliiant from memory, havent played it for a few years now though....guess i'll have to revisit it soon.....
obviously, the Kinks version of "stop your sobbing" is superior to their version, but Chrissie and Co still do a bloody good one of it!...
as for the five stars thing...on paper, i would give all my "love" rating albums 5/5, but it doesnt equate to that on the MHRS, so anything over 2.3 is worthy of 5/5.
incidently, the only album i have rated on the site that gets a perfect 3.0 on the MHRS(music head ratings system) is Neil Young's "tonights the night"...i just cant pick any fault with that one at all,yet back in the day it was crucified by the music media experts!???!!???!!....as far as studio albums go, the Dire Straits trilogy of "making movies","love over gold" and "brothers in arms" each came in at 2.8/2.9 from memory...and justifably so IMO.
