Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Greatest
Hits

Tom Petty has always sounded like a hybrid
of Dylan, Springsteen
and Jackson Brown to me. Ok, not always, cuz I just pulled
those names out of my ass, but they sound like decent touch
points for a dude that has both some twang, snazzy keyboards,
backing vocals (when with the Heartbreakers) and a whole shiteload
of hits to his credit. Granted, this IS a greatest hits album,
but there is literally not one filler song on this 18 track
record. This represents many of my jukebox dollars over the
years, as his music just invokes a positive drinking atmosphere
and appeals to a wide spectrum of folks. Thinking about it,
he even has more hits (sans Heartbreakers) that aren't even
on here. He may not have some of the flash and instant name
recognition, but this guy has kicked ass for decades now. Solid.
