THE PRETENDERS...Learning To Crawl (1984)
Learning To Crawl was released 30 years ago this month in 1984. It reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. It should have gone to number 1 as this is a masterpiece. Seriously, a masterpiece. Every track on this record is a great number. Highlights are 'Time The Avenger' (the best one on the album), 'My City Was Gone' and '2,000 Miles.' Highly recommend this one
