I like Tom Petty, and my replacement copy of Wildflowers should be here any day now.

Love Petty, catchy stuff. I need to replace a lot of my collection also. Funny how the good stuff also walks away during a party.

If you don't have Damn the Torpedoes, that's a great album, sequence wise.

Full Moon Fever is one of my favorite discs ever.

I have a ton of Tom discs, including the box set which is some good stuff.

If you don't like at least one Tom Petty song, something is wrong with you.

Agreed. I'd like to think that Petty is the most universally liked artist in the universe...Even if you don't love him, its really hard to dislike him.

Don't love or hate him. Own nothing by him, doubt I ever will.

That Bob Seger wrote some catchy tunes.

That 2 disc Greatest Hits from a few years ago is a set to drive to nonpareil

I burned him out a bit in High School, but I still throw him on now and then. His first 5 albums with the Heartbreakers are a damn fine run imo. His solo stuff, eh, I like certain tracks.

Guy set the bar fairly high for writing things that straddle the line btwn commercial success and artistic value, for 30ish years. Others have done it, but only a few.

Nowhere near as QUAL as Petty, but definitely better than most give him credit for, largely due to the Kat-napper's underwear dance theme song, which is fully worthy of every bit of derision it receives. Oh, and "Like a Rock" is one of the 10 worst songs ever written. But shit like "Night Moves," "Main Street," "Sunspot Baby," "Her Strut," and "The Fire Down Below" are good, in my book. "Turn The Page" is a flaming turd that makes me want to shoot the radio the second I hear that horribly out-of-tune saxomaphone.

To sum up, Seger's a mixed bag, Petty can virtually do no wrong.
