PO'14 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Funny when he says that he tries to make 11 great songs. And that a full album of good songs is not in style just like Oil painting, but that someone has to do it. Enjoy. http://www.hitfix.com/news/interview-tom-petty-is-ready-to-rock-with-new-album-hypnotic-eye
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks for sharing! And wait... My mother had my First Communion picture (1976) done in oil. Ooops, I was also wearing a green leisure suit complete w/white stitching. Kinda a weird juxtapostioning of styles: Classic oil meets 70's subject. I gotta scan that baby in, I was pretty fly for a white guy! LoL...
DC Tom Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Funny when he says that he tries to make 11 great songs. In a career? He's about 10 short.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Cheers for this! In a career? He's about 10 short. :lol: Funny, made me laugh -- even though I disagree. Dude has more great songs than you'd think.
PO'14 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 In a career? He's about 10 short. Wow! To not like his style and singing is one thing. To say he has only 1 good song in his 38 year career is just WRONG! American Girl, You don't know how it feels, Mary janes last dance, Running down a dream, Learning to fly, You wreck me, Don't come around here no more, Free Fallin, let alone travelin wilburys stuff. I rarely listen to these songs anymore. Hes got another 50 songs that are good and were never released as singles.

(1979) Even the Losers Refugee Here Comes My Girl Wow... That so old, I remember that on 8-track in my father's car. We've come a long way baby! LoL...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I forgot to mention Refugee, the Waiting, Breakdown, Shes a Woman in Love, I wont Back Down, Face in the Crowd, Jammin Me, You Got Lucky, Then from the first two: I Need to Know, Listen to her heart... Don't Do Me Like That (Damn the Torpedoes)... Needles & Pins was in the 80's. Edited May 8, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois
DC Tom Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 American Girl, You don't know how it feels, Mary janes last dance, Running down a dream, Learning to fly, You wreck me, Don't come around here no more, Free Fallin, Suck. I was going to post "suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck." But let's be honest...they're all the same damn song. let alone travelin wilburys stuff. Yes, Tom Petty has a good song...when he's drowned out by George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan.
PO'14 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Top 5 live song ever. Especially from 8:30 minutes on. Suck. I was going to post "suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck." But let's be honest...they're all the same damn song. Yes, Tom Petty has a good song...when he's drowned out by George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan. Pretty funny when Petty is the lead singer for most of Wilburys songs! Especially the better ones. But hey, I respect DC Tom . Petty has his sound, just like U2 and just like AC-DC.

KD in CA Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 And you even forgot the big three from: Damn the Torpedoes! (1979) Even the Losers Refugee Here Comes My Girl Wow... That so old, I remember that on 8-track in my father's car. We've come a long way baby! LoL... I always queue that up in the event the Bills make a good draft pick. Good album.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I always queue that up in the event the Bills make a good draft pick. Good album. :lol: That is amazing. Can I borrow that one? Might need it today. Feel like this draft will be a good one for our guys.
KD in CA Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Have at it, but I recommend hedging your bets by having this one handy too: Edited May 8, 2014 by KD in CT
PO'14 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Yes, Petty has his sound...and he milks it, song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song... Please tell me what ACDC, U2, Rolling Stones, Coldplay etc.....DO SONG AFTER SONG AFTER SONG AFTER SONG?
bbb Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Yes, Petty has his sound...and he milks it, song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song after song... I pretty much agree with this. There's three songs that are great and the rest are just OK. I hate Mary Jane. The three great ones are American Girl, The Waiting and Running Down a Dream. Wow!

He's got the hard rocking songs, which are pretty much all alike, and for me Mary Jane = Free Fallin = Learning to Fly

He's got the hard rocking songs, which are pretty much all alike, and for me Mary Jane = Free Fallin = Learning to Fly Running Down a Dream is probably one of my least favs... Mary Jane and Free Falling are lower too. I put She's a Woman in Love up into the very top. Gonna sound soft, but I like Wildflowers... Even if it is nasally. And of course like KD said: Even the Losers.
