Buy Now	Greatest Hits (more) »rank: 498 by: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers :Album Description:Hailing from the state of Florida, singer-songwriter Tom Petty has come to epitomize a new rootsy style of California rock'n'roll. Rhythmically, the music harkens back to the basic crunch of the Rolling Stones and the dancing pop of the Beatles, while Petty's gravelly vocals and sing-song narrative style suggest roots in the folk-blues Americana of Bob Dylan. This new Greatest Hits collection replaces the classic hit of 'Something in the Air' with 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' featuring Stevie Nicks.	Buy Now	Anthology: Through the Years (more) »rank: 1163 by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers :Album Description:Neatly fitting in between 1993's GREATEST HITS and the 5-CD PLAYBACK box set that came out two years later, this 34-track collection is a chronological tour of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' MCA Records material. The consistent quality found throughout this two-CD set that's bookended by the sinister-sounding 'Breakdown' and chiming 'Surrender'(a song Petty wrote in the '70s but didn't get around to recording until August 2000) boggles the mind. Tight playing and a palpable sense of passion from the four-piece Heartbreakers transform songs like 'Even the Losers', 'Rebels' and 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' into rock & roll manna. Elsewhere, ...
Buy Now	Wildflowers (more) »rank: 2413 by: Tom Petty : :As you listen to Wildflowers, Tom Petty's first new album in three years and his first ever for Warner Bros., you may be struck by a certain quality, new for Petty but nonetheless familiar. The predominance of the twangy rhythm guitar; the high-pitched, nasal singing; the irresistibly catchy pop hooks; and the melancholy lyrics straining for a spiritual significance just beyond their grasp--all these elements make Petty sound as if he were a Beatle imitating Bob Dylan. Then you may realize that Wildflowers resembles nothing so much as a George Harrison solo album. That's not such a bad thing; Harrison (Petty's ...	Buy Now	Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits (more) »rank: 1750 by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers :Album Description:Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits, originally released in 1993, has gone on to be the best selling collection in the band's four decades and counting career. Over seven times platinum, this collection now has been remastered. :He's sold millions of albums, filled arenas, and hobnobbed with George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, but Tom Petty's driving heartland rock has often been taken for granted by the same critics who hail John Mellencamp as a genius. Greatest Hits is an airtight argument for Petty's own greatness. Starting with 'American Girl,' the rollicking, Byrds-inspired single from Petty's first album ...
Buy Now	Full Moon Fever (more) »rank: 4140 by: Tom Petty : essential recording:Ten years had passed since Petty's last solid outing (Damn the Torpedoes in 1979), and Full Moon Fever fully resuscitated the artist's career, which--some would say 'arguably'--had been losing steam. With the album's four major hits and rave reviews from the critics (these things do not always go hand-in-hand), Petty must have breathed a sigh of relief. He left the Heartbreakers behind, hooked up with musician, writer, and producer Jeff Lynne, and rocked out with 'Runnin' Down a Dream,' got mellow and introspective on 'Free Fallin'' and 'A Face in the Crowd,' and paid tribute (finally) to the Byrds ...	Buy Now	Damn the Torpedoes (more) »rank: 3233 by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers : :\N :Though easily as consistent as their first two releases, it was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' third release, Damn the Torpedoes, that catapulted Petty and company into the first rank of American rock acts. It's not hard to understand why. With a slate of driving songs destined to become FM staples ('Refugee,' 'Here Comes My Girl,' 'Even the Losers,' 'Don't Do Me Like That'), it's an album that plays much like half a greatest-hits collection. Fusing a rootsy sensibility heavy with Dylan and Byrds affectations with his own pop instincts (honed by early stints with Mudcrutch and Dwight Twilley) ...
Buy Now	Highway Companion (more) »rank: 2715 by: Tom Petty :Album Description:Highway Companion, Tom Petty's third solo album and first in a dozen years, is a timeless album about the passing of time. A constant companion on the road of rock n' roll, Petty, says Rolling Stone, is 'rock aristocracy'. :Four years after he took Elvis Costello's advice and bit the music/radio biz hands that have simultaneously fed and frustrated him for decades on the scabrous The Last DJ, Tom Petty returned to the studio with more personally introspective matters on his mind. Reuniting with producer/Wilbury sideman Jeff Lynne sans Heartbreakers for his third solo release proper, the veteran doesn't so ...
