Name a bad song on Tom Petty's greatest hits

[G-Men (formerly Big Blue) 0]

Honorable mention, but not a bad song: "You got Lucky"

[Strike 3,999]

I don't know what songs are on that album but Petty is my all time favorite performer. Ironically, about the only song of his I don't like is one of his most successful - "don't come around here no more". If I never hear that song again it will be too soon. Other than that there isn't much of his I don't like.

If anyone knocks that song, they need to see the video. Win.

I've seen the video. Still don't like the song. 1 out of 200000000 songs ain't bad I figure

And John Mellencamp is gold. That's a compliment.

I think it's the other way round, chief.

Tom Petty is a rock and roller, john mellencamp is a focking queer.

Tom Petty is a rock and roller, john mellencamp is a focking queer.

 

 

Queer? Mellencamp has been married to some of the most beautiful women out there. Petty, I'm not so sure of?

 

Both are very good performers. The only problem I have with Petty's greatest hits is that there are about 5 tracks that sound so similar. But they are still good tunes.

 

Mellencamp had way less hits, but I think his music has a little more soul to it.

Mellencamp has an awesome catalogue of hits. You're right, he has a bluesy, roots rock feel to his music.

Jack and Diane, Check It Out, Ain't Even Done With The Night.......Hell, it can be argued that he has as many great songs as Petty.

Yes.

 

"Like is a battle, love is war"

Yes.

 

"Like is a battle, love is war"

Love is a battlefield?

[edjr 5,587]

Love is a battlefield?

 

Put your glasses on and try again.

 

Like is a battle, love is war.

 

it doesn't get any truer than that.

I Need to Know -

Something in the Air -

These are the only two I can't play in my head, so perhaps these two.

 

I was never really into TP, I liked some of his stuff, but wasn't a big fan or anything. Then I saw him at the Spectrum and really got into his stuff more.

[shovelheadt 62]

chili peppers new single = Mary Jane's Last Dance

 

unoriginal bastards.

 

Yep, they also remade Higher Ground which was a Stevie Wonder song.

 

I've had a problem with American Girl since watching the fat girl sing it in Silence of the Lambs.

I'm not the only one that finds it strange that the NBA is using Petty tunes to accompany promos and highlights right?

Petty was quite the baller, I hear.

Petty was quite the baller, I hear.

 

What's the song they use for the McDonald's Halftime highlights?

 

You Want It All?

Petty is one of the best live performers I've ever seen. He is so comfortable on stage, unlike a lot of rock stars who can only stand up there in front of a mic singing. He moves around the stage, gets the crowd involved, and genuinely gets into the whole art of performing and putting on a great show. His concerts kick ass. His live performance of "Breakdown" is legendary.

[parrot 789]

Excellent disc. It's been in constant rotation in my truck for probably two years running. Like Strike says, excellent live performer too.

[patweisers44 700]

Tom Petty's entire catlogue is pretty greta especially considering he never once moved his lips while singing.

i heard Petty told them he wants omse of the money they make from that song.. local radio played trhem both at same time today, were very similar

[parrot 789]

[TD Ryan2 314]

Paper and Fire.

 

also, somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some

Not hard when you don't have lips.

[Artist Formerly Known as Big O 0]

You got Lucky is my all time favorite Petty song. The Mad Max-esque video was great back in the day.

 

This disc is one of the few in my wife's collection I actually like.

[Toro 1]

The only song I didn't like was Last Dance with Mj. Just didn't like it.

 

I loved You Don't Know How It Feels.

[Fumbleweed 426]

At least he's not doing Hanes ads with Kevin Bacon.........

[D_House 0]

Mary Jane's Last Dance

 

it's a decent song and all, i just think it's highly derivative of the Chili Peppers' work.

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

1. An American Girl -

 

4. I Need to Know -

 

Not big on Tom Petty, but I LOVE these 2 of his.

[Murphys Law 0]

what RHCP song is like last dance w/ MJ?

[TAS 2]

You got Lucky is my all time favorite Petty song. The Mad Max-esque video was great back in the day.

Videos back in those days still rank in my mind as some of the best!

[GobbleDog 822]

"You got Lucky"

 

This song is one of, if not, the very first music video I ever saw when I was about 12 y.o. or so. (Out in the desert, barn full of instruments, drive off in egg shaped cars)
