A great CD, I'll Stand By You is an amazing piece of music and lyrics. As usual, ordering from Amazon is a seamless experience.

This is one majestic piece of music, easily in the band's top two or three albums. I agree with the notion that through this album, Chrissie indeed shows she can lead the group to great heights in spite of its tumultuous past. Her lyrics and music are biting, passionate and quite honestly rise above most of her contemporaries. What a rocking and groundbreaking sound! It has the ring of true, heartfelt rock n' roll in the way it should be played and experienced by the listener. If this was the only album the band ever put out, it would seal their status as one of the enduring and great acts in modern rock. Long Live The Pretenders!!!

Bought this cd for "I'll Stand By You." All the other songs are terrible.

Many Pretenders fans prefer their first, self-titled, album. In my opinion, "Last of the Independents" is by far their best album. Chrissie Hynde still has the cocky attitude from the first album, but this one is more melodic. While many of the group's other albums contain a couple of weaker filler songs, all the songs on this album are great. The song sequence is just right, with a perfect balance between the faster, energetic songs and the slower ones. It never gets dull. Chrissie Hynde's voice is as good as ever, seeming both confident and fragile at the same time. After several years, this remains one of my all time favorite albums.
