from 1001 Album Club · host Birch
The John Cougar Mellencamp of Gainsville. The Bob Seger of the Swamp. Maybe that only good thing to ever come out of Florida, Tom Petty, was one of America's greatest song writers ever; full-stop. Thirteen studio albums with The Heartbreakers. Three as a solo artist. A couple with The Traveling Wilburys. More platinum and gold status recordings than you can shake a stick at! EIGHT Saturday Night Live appearances, and a GD SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW. His influence on rock music CANNOT be over stated. So why is it that this limey nightmare of a tome only giving us one (and not even his best) album? Let's talk Tom Petty, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!
