Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Damn The Torpedoes

Tom Petty my never be cutting edge, cool, hip or whatever, but he's made some damn fine records. And, he did have a little edge in his early days that helped him stick out of the crowd. This one reminds me of something mentioned on the CCR thread, short sweet, get in and get out, leave 'em wanting more. Refugee, Here Comes My Girl and Don't Do Me Like That make up a third of this thing, and while American Girl may still be my favorite Tom Petty song, this is my favorite of his albums.

Brilliant album. I love TP, and I'd probably rank this as 1b, right after Hard Promises at 1a. "Even the Losers" is absolute perfection.

I don't think i've ever met anyone who talked shit on Petty or didn't atleast like one or two of his songs.

Shit, it's Tom Petty.
