What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Another case of better live!!!!..some artists are better live than in the studio,,,maybe they all are????..that's why I prefer live albums and DVDs. Petty played here a few days ago and put on a fabulous live show from all accounts! I didn't go as I really am not a big fan of his...every time I hear him I think of Bob Dylan for some reason.....who I am a big fan of!!!!!

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS "greatest hits" cd,2008.

never a real big fan of Petty, not sure why though, love his "full moon fever" album and the stuff he did as part of Travelling Willburys", seen him live on two occasions also,once on a solo tour and once back in the mid eighties when The Heartbreakers toured as backing band of Dylan and were also support act on the same tour...
think of Petty as a "not bad singles guy" rather than an albums guy overall,
not much of his early material that i love, moreso, the post 1986 work that was produced by Jeff Lynne, was initially thinking the score would come in around the borderline love(2.3-2.4), but not to be,but a reasonably good score nonetheless

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
