Harry P. Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 That "radio" song always reminds me of this one: As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free TP, "The Last DJ." Not one of his better efforts, IMO...
Snake45 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 TP, "The Last DJ." Not one of his better efforts, IMO... But I beg to differ...maybe not his very best song ever, but I think it's a great song. Much better than that thing he had out about the same time about the top of the world, or whatever it was. Man, did THAT thing suck. Possibly his worst song ever.

Tom Petty - the ultimate whiny singer.... I think I am going to get hit hard for this, but that's OK. the world would be a lot better place without albums from him, or Bob Segar, or Fleetwood Mac. c'om, bring it you Petty, Mac, Segar lovers!!

I think I am going to get hit hard for this, but that's OK. the world would be a lot better place without albums from him, or Bob Segar, or Fleetwood Mac. c'om, bring it you Petty, Mac, Segar lovers!! I've long said that Tom Petty is what Bob Dylan would sound like if he (Dylan) could sing, or enunciate, or carry a tune at all. Is TP the best voice in the bidness? No. But I'd rather listen to a moderately competent--even somewhat whiny--voice with a great band singing a great rockin' song than Frank Sinatra or Dean Marin or Bing Crosby or Tony Bennett or Michael Bubbly singing anything.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Bob Dylan can sing. Ever heard "Lay Lady Lay?"
Scale-Master Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I saw Dylan live a couple years ago. Good thing he had Charlie Sexton to keep the band paced to Bob's ever changing cadences. And to pick up the rest when Dylan couldn't finish the songs.
