[edit] Sources
This article needs more sources. At the moment the article cannot be relied upon as it appears to be a mix of editorial opinion and factual statements that may or may not be true. The editorial opinion needs to be cut out, and the factual statements need citing - if they cannot be cited they also need to be removed. Opinion statements such as "Fans familiar with the band's U.S. chart singles are often unaware of how loud and aggressive the early Pretenders could be, and how experimental some of their early recordings were." need to be cited to a reliable source or removed.

[edit] Pretenders, not 'The Pretenders'
This band is called 'Pretenders', not 'The Pretenders'. Every album cover has simply 'Pretenders' as the band name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianbrettcooper (talk • contribs) 21:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Clearly not true. The band's own website is ThePretenders.com. They have an album out called The Pretenders iTunes Originals. 71.236.185.15 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC).
Depends on the album, whatever name the album has is most likely the name they will tour with. The original band was "Pretenders", but they kinda changed it around after pete and jimmy died. But now it seems to be "Pretenders". The fans know this, they just put the "The" in there cause it would ocnfuse the rest of the people. 66.241.184.218 (talk) 05:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
There's certainly some ambiguity here. For instance "Learning To Crawl" clearly has The Pretenders, in giant letters, in fact. But it does seem that simply "Pretenders" is the original and preferred name. HandsOfBlue (talk) 14:36, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Too Much Personal Opinion
"The subsequent tour (with an added keyboard player) successfully demonstrated Martin Chambers's forceful drumming."
This reads like a review and smacks of justification for the following statement that "Hynde declared that Chambers was no longer playing well and dismissed him". Simply saying that "I saw so-and-so in concert and thought they were great" is clearly POV and inappropriate. 92.234.48.114 (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed, and the worst of it has been cropped. The article was also woefully short of references, which I have tried to partly put right. It still needs more cites and less fancruft to progress in the correct manner.
