Song Of The Day: The Pretenders “Middle Of The Road”

Yes, it’s not even 3 PM and I’ve already decided.

What’s not to love about this song?  The jangly guitars?  The sweet guitar solo?  Chrissie Hynde’s combination of sex appeal and sassiness?  The growling harmonica at the end?

My favorite thing, though, is Martin Chambers’ very spot-on drumming.  The man doesn’t miss a beat on this one, and pounds it out like he means it.  It’s not the flashiest drumming in the world, but it certainly is powerful. 

This is one of my favorite Pretenders songs from a very underrated album.
