Listening to Tom Petty is like eating a big delicious meal with a pint of Guinness. It's always satisfying. Lyrically, melodically. His voice, which I used to think was just a Dylan ripoff, is great. He's my ipod road buddy.

I love Tom Petty's studio work. Honestly, his live performances leave a little to be desired... they don't play loud enough, the backing vox are missing something, etc...

But you can't deny he's a hell of an artist.

My latest favorite is "Crawling Back To You" from the Wildflowers album.

Refugee... :wink:

I believe that "The Waiting" has perhaps the most perfectly constructed chorus of all time.

Right now, "Breakdown," "Here Comes My Girl," and "The Waiting" are pretty high on my list.

Great tune - Forgot all about that video!

Love the line "Their A&R man said 'I don't hear a single.'"

Man, I love that song too. I wrote a song about 10 years ago called "Holding On To You" that was inspired by HCMG. Everyone that listened to it thought that it was a Journey rip-off. That was before my whole "life hands you lemons" revelation.

by **Angiekay** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:14 pm

"A Woman In Love" and " The Damage You've Done" oh...and "Love Is A Long Road"

by **stevew2** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:23 pm

He lools like a rat, with your vocal abilities I cant why you would like him. Are you come back to the state theater soon?

"The Waiting is a great song Jeremey...My ringtone for my wife is "Here Comes My Girl". But my favorite Petty song by FAR is "Louisiana Rain"!!!

by **Jeremey** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:29 pm

As much as I love Petty my knowledge beyond the hits and the Wilburys is pretty limited....I need to get into some of the deeper cuts.

Steve, it's the whole package for me!! I do love Petty's voice but not because of his technical ability....And he's a master songwriter....Will be back in Falls Church in December I think!

I have maybe 6 tracks off that record on Heartbreakers' greatest hits. I will hit itunes up for Louisiana Rain and check it out!

Thanks Steve - I will keep you posted man, I think you will really like how things are sounding!

by **slucero** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:40 pm

Petty is my favorite songwriter. Period.

The Waiting live is a feast.... especially the way Petty holds that A chord and baits the crowd...
