The Singles (1987)
Even their good songs always struck me as a bit lacking in one area or another. Actually, to be honest, I just don’t like them for some reason. Some of their songs I recognize as quality songs that I SHOULD like, but I don’t. I find them dull, boring, and occasionally annoying, even when I know in my head that they aren’t. At least, not ALL the time. That being said, there’s a lot of (to me) boring sections here, and I’ve never liked Chrissie Hynde’s vocals. Oh well…sometimes your best just isn’t good enough.
Grade: C
2/28/25: “Back On The Chain Gang” deserves special note, at least.
Inspirational Quote: “Like a break in the battle, was your part/in the wretched life of a lonely heart.”
