I'm a HUGE fan but their first album is....very.....meh.

Tom Petty is the Jerome Bettis of pop rock. While most will forget him easily he's a solid, dependable, consistent producer of quality music.

FOR DECADES.

Almost every Tom Petty song is one you like. No one has ever said "****, that's Petty, change that $3it..."

I was a year out of HS when this debuted and sounded so much like the Byrds wore that album out an d still listen to it this day. What was your favorite Full Moon Fever?

The Bettis comp is a big damn insult to Petty, IMO. Though I understand the point you're making.

Last summer I took the arduous task of listening to the Heartbreakers for like three weeks straight in order to determine my list of favorite Heartbreakers albums/Petty solo albums (which are essentially band records anyway). They are, in order:

1. Wildflowers
2. Damn the Torpedoes
3. Echo
4. Into the Great Wide Open
5. Full Moon Fever
6. Highway Companion
7. Hypnotic Eye
8. You're Gonna Get It!
9. Hard Promises
10. The Last DJ
11. Mojo
12. Long After Dark
13. She's the One
14. TPATH (self-titled)
15. Southern Accents
16. Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)
