Tom Petty-Highway Companion

My favorite track is definitely "Saving Grace," but this is overall a fantastic album! It really sucks that Howie Epstein passed away, because he was just such an awesome part of the band (his drug problems got him kicked out..), but I am glad to see that they can still make awesome music!

I find the album really lame, Tom Petty has doen so much better than that before.

Eh, to each their own. I grew up on Tom Petty. Wildflowers is also an awesome album!

yeah, Wildflowers rocks, my favourite Petty album. Into the great wide open and Echoes are really good too, but i'm not too keen on the early stuff he did. The Last Dj has some great lyrics, and he got a lot of flack for that album apparently.

One hting I don't get about Tom Petty is that sometimes he does solo albums and the he does albums with the Heartbreakers, but the songs are all written by Petty anyways and there are mostly the same musicians playing anyways. makes no sense to me.
