Tom is from the same place as Tebow.

My favorite TP song changes all the the time, but today I voted for Refugee and Don't Come Around Here No More just because I could. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were one of my favorite bands as a teenager. There are a lot of great songs in the poll, and I'll throw out a few more songs that are poll worthy:
Woman In Love (it's not Me)
Letting You Go
Louisiana Rain
Even the Losers
It'll All Work Out
The Wild One, Forever

Too many to truly decide
Good song not on the list. Something in the Air

30 minutes ago when I answered the poll: Running Down a Dream. Now: Listen to Her Heart

American Girl just for the great trailoff riffing.

Yeah, that's just a great song with a phenomenal opening line. Petty is one of those artists I love, even though he doesn't have that many songs most would consider amazing. This poll kind of proves it out.....lots of really, really good songs, but few that are iconic. At least IMO. Still one of my favorite artists.
A few songs not mentioned that I really enjoy:The Apartment Song
Higher Place
To Find a Friend
Yer So Bad is one of my faves:
"My sister got lucky, married a yuppie / Took him for all he was worth / Now she's a swinger dating a singer / I can't decide which is worse"
Good stuff.

Change of Heart is my favorite. Even The Losers and The Waiting are close behind.This is my favorite, with Change of Heart a close second.

"The Waiting," followed closely by "Refugee." What a songwriter.
Love Mike Campbell's dead-on Roger McGuinn impersonation with the 12-string Rick on the opening of "The Waiting." :money:

Lots of great songs and hard to pick just one. Finally went with Don't come around here no more, because I've loved it since the first time I heard it. I am not as fond of his stuff from the Jeff Lynne years.

I agree but every single time I hear him I feel like Im hearing him try to sound like Dylan.

Voted for The Waiting in the poll, but A Woman in Love (It's not me) is my favorite. My daughter plays in bars, coffee houses, and the like sometimes for extra $, and she does a nice rendition of "Face in the Crowd" by TP.

American Girl. Love the drum intro to Refugee. Wildflowers is up there for me, too. Man can write a pop song.

I think you need to fit Rebels into the second poll

The first winter I was in Gainesville, WRUF played a promo with Tom Petty where he just said "Christmas in Gainesville. I drove my car into Lake Alice one Christmas"

Glad to see my fav - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uroKI4lWuT8 - "I need to know" got a decent amount of votes, GD that song brings back some really, really good memories and kicks some ####### ### too.

i just learned that yesterday. Before you hit the link button, type "I need to know" in your post. Then highlight "I need to know" and then hit the link icon and type in your link, and it will show up in what you wrote.

For those that don't know, all Cougartown episode names are Tom Petty songs.

Voting is all over the place. Can we at least agree that Southern Accents is far and away the best album?

Sometimes I feel like I take Tom Petty’s music for granted. He really is an all time great musician.
He takes simple music structure and makes it new and interesting. If you’re an amateur guitar player, you should get the tabs to a few of his songs. A lot of them are easy to learn and sing along with.
For the poll I chose “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”, because of that nasty guitar riff between the verses. If I hear that song on the way to work I’m doing that riff in my head all day.

Thanks Simey! This way seems so much more convenient and logical way to do it than before.simey said:
