I never cared for him - but I'm a decent American. Just not my flavor.

I chose Breakdown because it was on the list but I loved Refugee, You Got Lucky, and Crawling Back to you on Wildflowers.

I used to listen to the Wildflower CD all the time back in the late 90's when it came out, hadn't given it a listen in awhile so I popped it in. Forgot how great those arrangements were.

The Heartbreakers were a great band that accentuated Tom's songs perfectly.

Going to miss not hearing more great songs by one of the great songwriters of our time.

Totally somber mood, realizing what a huge impact he had on my life. Very few artists have the capability to make you relate and think of you, instead of them.

That's a pure and true connection.
Exactly,I haven't been this sad since the death of John Bonham because then as now it's the end of an incredible era of music.

Over the last couple of years, I have been accumulating a lot of 70s and 80s music and I now have all of his 70s and 80s albums, including the solo and Wilburys albums and really like all of them (except for the Wilburys songs that feature Bob Dylan).

After seeing this thread this morning, I have been listening to his latest albums on Spotify (Nobody's Children and Hypnotic Eye) and - wow! - they are really good. I've been missing out.
It's now 7 years old but have you checked out MOJO and this tune

The honest truth is everyone likes Tom Petty.

Everyone thinks "great song but I don't want the album."

Then, as time goes by, you realize that you like about 32 songs by him.

Perhaps nothing changed your life but EVERYTHING HE DID was good.

Then you find that, then buy his albums, and...

I almost forgot about this... and Something Good Comin'... great tunes... thanks for the memory refresher.

Runnin Down A Dream.

Because it's the perfect driving song when you're heading out for a vacation road trip and I really like the solo.

Hit the one-hitter before you get in the car and turn that on and jump on I70 heading to the mountains. I miss college.

Top 40 radio wore out some of Toms songs in the mid to late 70s. Tom could cross over am top 40, country and progressive rock fm stations. Those songs you thought you couldn't stand to hear again now you hear and a toe subconsciously starts tapping. Like so many others hard to pick one all are good. I remember when I first heard Honeybee I thought wtf but listened more and it grew on me.

Not even a toe tap?

Any duets with Stevie Nicks. They were made each other IMO

I was actually listening to Mojo when I posted that. It has some really good songs on it (like the one you linked) but overall, I didn't like it as well as the ones I mentioned. It has a much bluesier feel to it and I'm not a big blues fan.
