I actually have no idea why I'm making this. I just haven't seen anything about this fella and was wondering what everyone thought of him and his band the Heartbreakers.

I personally like him, I find he has a great voice and a cool cool rock band.

tom petty and the heartbreakers. i wouldnt list them as one of my favorites, but i have the greatest hits album and there's a good bunch of songs i love on there. "something's in the air" has been a favorite song of mine since i heard it on the osiris skate video in 2003

Does he have a lyric "keep on keeping on"? I know its in Dylans Tangled up in blue but I need to find oout what song this is. I'm loosing my mind.

One of my top-five favorite bands, actually.

The Running Down A Dream doc is spellbinding.

Then I'd do it all again.

Wildflowers is a good solid album.

I Won't Back Down is one of my theme songs.

He has done some great tracks-REFUGEE, MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE, BREAKDOWN ETC. Good solid rock tunes. I can't say I listen to him a great deal though.

he is a good listen from time to time, he has the kind of music that will lift your spirits. hey is it me or is the video for Mary Janes Last Dance kind you know, creepy.

half-time show is going to be good this year, no more Rolling Stones, now they wont have to reanimate the bodies

I think he is the guy who makes the songs that you randomly hear on the radio and have to crank it really loud and sing along with all your friends.....saying that I have most of his cds I hardly put them on but there on my play lists
