Re: Official Tom Petty Thread

I just don't think he went about presenting the point of The Last DJ in a way I liked

and thank you, BTW


I honestly don't know anyone that doesn't like that song, at least a little.. it is a masterpiece of a song.. it's hypnotic, it's energetic, it's drifty, it's simple, it has something going on.. It's just one of those songs

And agreed 110% on your opinion of Mike and Mojo

Nice bump, Groovy
and nice choice P&C, that whole album has a very distinct sound a feel to it

I'm waiting for some news, might be a good, might be bad.. I'll find out tomorrow, so I'll just post something simple tonight..

A nice live version of The Waiting..

Re: Official Tom Petty Thread

I had an absolutely terrible day yesterday. Work was the best part of my day. People were making me so pissed off..

I think this song saved my day and saved me from running over any of the morons I had to deal with...

Jammin' Me

Re: Official Tom Petty Thread

big fan of TP & HB. I grew up hearing the hits to the point where I kinda tuned 'em out. Didnt love 'em or hate 'em, just heard them way too much. About 3 years ago I started getting into TP's albums from the s/t up to about Wildflowers or so. I have a ton of respect for Tom and how he took on the record companies back in '79. He has always done things his way. Love him or hate him, ya gotta respect him for having vitually the same band for 35 some odd years. Even when he did solo albums he still had the guys on there.

I love TP and all of his work, but I've found myself to be a bigger fan of his more recent music as opposed to his older stuff. I like the classics a lot too, I've just found the newer stuff to get my attention more. Here's one of my favorites from his new 'Mojo' album:
