Customer Review: I like most if not all the songs on this CD but really only purchased it for one song in particular. Madonna's version of "Santa Baby". I also love Run D.M.C.'s Christmas In Hollis, this song brings a light comedic feel to the album. U2's version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is always a good... more info
Customer Review: Chrissie Hynde has a gorgeous-smokey-sexy voice -- it's unique and she's so cool. What makes "Learning to Crawl" so special for me is the bonus tracks ... "My City was Gone" rocks hard (twice) because of the bonus live track. They're cover song of "Money" (Beatles) is the best I've ever heard. If... more info
Customer Review: The obvious dilemma facing any female who fronts an otherwise all-male group is that she can easily be classified as nothing more than eye candy either onstage or on the subsequent CD covers.

Customer Review: Eldest daughter couldn't locate this CD and requested I check Amazon. Sure enough, Amazon had it available and in a few days the disc was in her hands and a smile was upon her face.

Both of my vinyl Pretenders albums, Get Close and Learning to Crawl, sound better. For a sampler, this is a good selection. But if you already know you like... more info

Customer Review: 28 years after it's debut, I still shake my head in wonderment when I listen to this monumental debut. The only thing different is that I now listen to it on compact disc instead of vinyl.
And when I hear the UK national anthem, I will always remember the Pretenders show I was lucky enough to... more info
