Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were a great American rock band formed in 1976. They had a lot of great hits such as "Breakdown", "American Girl", "The Waiting", "Learning To Fly", "Mary Jane's Last Dance", "Don't Do Me Like That", "You Got Lucky", "Change Of Heart", "I Need To Know", "Listen To Her Heart" etc. In 1989 Petty went solo & had quite a few hits. He was also part of the supergroup "Travelling Willburys" in 1988-91.

Tom Petty, one of the few artists that stayed relevant from the end of the 70's, well into the 90's. You always knew a Heartbreakers tune when it hit the airwaves. A distinct sound with clear lyrics, fun themes, and catchy tunes. So many great songs to choose from. I drive for a living. Running Down a Dream always spoke to me and is on my playlist. It's a hard driving tune. "It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down I had the radio on, I was drivin' Trees went by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway I was flyin' The next 5 miles would fly past. I knew. How many times have I sung with Del to Little Runaway! The song just speaks to me.

Huge Tom Petty &THBs fan here from Australia. I became a fan at 15, when they released the 'Damn the Torpedoes' album. You MUST listen to Refugee(the track that sent me on the TPATH ride till now)...Killer track!👍👍 American Girl was from his first album & is an absolute Classic till this day. They have SO MANY hits you'll be down the 🐇🕳️ for ages...& then also with the Travelling Wilburys. They are Tom, Roy Orbison, George Harrison (Beatles), Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne(ELO) & Jim Keltner on drums. A sensational band of mates playing because they love making music & being with friends.❤️ Some TP faves are,Refugee,American Girl, Breakdown, The Waiting, Even the Losers, Mary Janes Last Dance, Here Comes My Girl, .....+ so many other hits. No that wasn't Tom in the dress lol just humour & going along with the songs title💡. Also interesting that when he/she comes in, the lyric line is- think of me what you will, I've got a little space to fill.. though maybe just coincidence 🤔 😁 Tom held no prejudices & had principles! 😎 AF ❤️ Enjoy guys! 🙂 ✌️❤️ 🇦🇺

Much of The Traveling Wilburys was clever send-ups of rock stereotypes, including their name, which sounds like a skin condition. Tom was a treasure, creative and relevant right up to the end of his long career. As an authentic, respected artist, he collaborated with many in the rock community: the Wilburys is only one example. IMO he is well worth a deep dive. As far as The Wilburys is concerned, Handle With Care is the obvious choice, being the hit that created the band.

TP is one of the artists whose live versions are musically more exciting and express more, especially in blues-rock songs; the pressure in the 80s was to make short radio and MTV songs (see Born In The USA. Pack Up Plantation: Live from 1985 is awesome, but so are live videos. TP has a wide range; It's best to let yourself be surprised. As a teenager I got to know TP through the rocking BreakDown 1977, Refugee+The Waiting 1980/1, but also the quieter Into The Great Wide Open 1991, lots of songs!!! P.S. Traveling Wilbury's 1990/2 with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbinson, Jeff Lynne is another fantastic chapter!

Tom Petty is what I call soft rock. He has a easy listen and mello style. I’m a ACDC fan but I also enjoy the voice and mello style of Tom. Just about all his songs are good because they have that mellow feel and he’s a good song writer. That with his voice makes almost everything he does rather enjoyable. The entire Wildflowers album is high level.

He’s soft rock. It’s so funny you guys get your feelings hurt. I just said what my favorite band is. ACDC is hard rock. Obviously Tom is not in that spectrum of being hard. If he’s not soft rock then who the hell is? Also cherry picking a few songs to judge him as a whole sounds like brain dead logic. All groups have songs that is outside their normal. That doesn’t define their style or most would belong to about every genre at once. Also soft rock isn’t an insult like you clowns are acting.

Tom Petty had quite a musical career. Rolling Stone compiled a list of his "top 50" songs. From his early days; Refugee, American Girl and The Waiting span that era. During his final tours those three songs still were done every show. In 1989-90 he had a resurgence with numerous #1's on the rock charts. Free Fallin' probably was his most famous song. Into the Great Wide Open (the video features a very young Johnny Depp), Runnin' Down A Dream, I Won't Back Down (possibly his anthem, plus the video had a couple Beatles), Learning to Fly. Plus a couple duets with Stevie Nicks (Stop Dragging My Heart Around)

You can choose for yourselves which one you'd like to give a listen. The first is the extended audio version 1) "End Of The Line - Traveling Wilburys - 1080 - FULL EXTENDED VIDEO & AUDIO VERSION" (by the channel: Deano Essex) and this is the music video 2) "The Traveling Wilburys - End Of The Line (Official Video)" I'm so glad you two enjoy listening to Tom Petty, his style of music is certainly an eclectic taste and I look forward to exploring more of his tunes together with you.

The Traveling Wilburys consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. In 1988 they did a recording session for a Harrison release that came out so good they did more recordings as the Willburys, Roy Orbison Past away after the first recording in1988. They did a second album shortly after. I think they were just having fun and ended up with great music.
