yes.

Possibly the best bar song ever made.

It's up there with "Born To Run", "Blitzkreig Bop", and "Surfin Safari" as quintessential American rock songs.

In my opinion anyway.

It's from his debut, Finch - unless you're digging deep into Mudcrutch.

And probably up there as one of the best album closers.

Love American Girl. I love it when the tempo kicks up and the guitars kick in at the end.

Refugee? Only like. Tom's voice mildly annoys me on only this track.

If you're the definition of American masculinity, OPA has already won.

I like this song, and Tom Petty, in the sense that if I hear it I like it, but never enough to want to go out to get anything by him. That said I have come to dislike free falling after hearing thousands of times.

He has some songs I hate, mostly because they're overplayed, but this isn't one of them. I agree with those who say it's an American anthem.
