Hehe... so was fullerplast.

Alot of good and/or famous musicians are from the area, me not being one of them. ;)

Devo and The James Gang, to name a few.

No, Chrissy Hynde was from Ohio. She moved to England, wrote from NME, was briefly in The Clash and recruited three guys from Hereford and they became the Pretenders. They played their first gigs in London. So, by my reckoning, they're a British band.

Fair nuff'.

Didn't the first version of the band die?

Where were the other guys from?

James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon died, Martin Chambers is still in the band. All three of them were from the Welsh border town of Hereford, England.

James Honeyman-Scott was a MONSTER guitarist. Such a terrible loss.

Just read this:

So... in MY estimation... they are pretty much American... the main songwriter, spokes person and a constant member being a 'Merican.

Would you consider the Jimi Hendrix Experience to be British?

Yeah... I meant to say that just Chrissy was from Akron.

Yeah, the Experience was British to a degree (a very small one), but Hendrix was so dominant, that really it was a solo act with sidemen. So, it might as well have been American. Band of Gypsies was 100% American.

Now, the first iteration of the Pretenders was a true band, with the rhythm section and Honeyman-Scott bringing as much to the table as songwriter/singer Hynde. Also, they were much more part of the British music scene at the time than Hendrix was- Jimi Hendrix was his own orbit- a genuine one-off phenomenon. Also, whereas Jimi's music was wholly a mutant strain of the Blues, Hynde took her cues from British pop and rock- Daives, Townshend and The Beatles, making her band much more in the British tradition than Hendrix ever was.

Now, after the deaths of Hopneyman-Scott and Farndon, the band became more about Hynde and the American quotient of the Anglo-American mix pretty much took over. But, since this thread is about 70's music, I hold that the original, 76-82 version is very much a British band.
