chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I saw Dylan on the Bangor Waterfront in '12. He sounds much better now, growly voice.

One of a very few songs of his I like.

I've never met anyone before who doesn't like at least some Tom Petty songs. AFAIC, anyone who doesn't like Tom Petty just ain't hooked up right. If you don't like Tom, how about someone else doing one of his songs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBU8PDlYX_Y

I Won't Back Down Love Is a Long Road Zombie Zoo Last Dance with Mary Jane Swingin' The Last DJ Scare Easy You Wreck Me Southern Accent One Story Town I Will Run to You (with Stevie Nicks) Just since you got 11, my list goes to eleven too. I'd add "Swingin" to my list too.

Agreed that his voice, like Dylan, is an "acquired taste." As far as guitar... that's what he has Mike Campbell for! And as far as harmonica... sounds ok to me!
Harry P. Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Now somebody check my latest lyrics post and give me the dang answer! Or else I'll just stop posting lyrics,,,
Harry P. Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Back to Tom Petty... Yes, technically he has a lousy singing voice. It's nasal and whiny and sort of annoying (which is odd, because his speaking voice is very different). If you can't get past the voice, then I can see how you will never like any of his music. But if you can get past his voice, and are able to enjoy the songs, then you're in for a treat because he has written a ton of great songs. And the Heartbreakers are a great band that can really play.
mnwildpunk Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Btw I love t.p. so much so I have his box set

Have they ever done a Tom Petty tribute album?
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Tinman by America is correct.... Now for another easy one... Well, your friends with their fancy persuasionsDon't admit that it's part of a scheme,But I can't help but have my suspicions'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.And you said you were never intendin'To break up our scene in this way,But there ain't any use in pretendin',It could happen to us any day.

How sad....

I think some of today's country artists could do justice to TP, like Luke Bryant, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry (they did a decent cover of Bon Jovi), etc. Blake Shelton's done Won't Back Down, as I posted a link to earlier.
Scale-Master Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I gotta agree with Snake. I think Brad Paisley could make some (all?) of Tom Petty (& the Heartbreakers) songs even better. And I'm more "Rock & Roll" than "Country".
Danny Lectro Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I don't think this one has been posted yet: Got a surprise from my honey Got a message from my girl When she picked up a pen from beside her bed And wrote me a scribbled note Said, she'd be coming back to see me That she would be visiting real soon Gonna get up from her long white bed And leave this cold white room

I think everybody should listen to the whole of Little Criminals once over.
