The Pretenders' 11th studio album, Hate for Sale, marks the band's first effort since 2016's Alone, though frontwoman Chrissie Hynde released a jazz-influenced covers solo LP last year called Valve Bone Woe.
The album Elton John became Elton's first big hit. Both Elton's and Bernie Taupin's songcraft had become more focused and diverse. This album brought the classic hit "Your Song" which would remain a staple for Elton throughout his career.
