I heard of the band before but I never paid attention to their other songs other than free falling. I already bought a CD from bestbuy. I liked their perfromance during the SuperBwol. Who else ...
The band has been a pretty big success for a few decades now. Glad you've found an interest in them though.
Too bad they couldn't play either of their two best songs because of the drug references. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UVWrIqBCxp4&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UVWrIqBCxp4&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IQhGfucHbtc&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IQhGfucHbtc&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
rock8ts...I'm glad you finally caught on to one of the best rock-n-roll artists in the last 30 years. There aren't many singer/songwriters like Tom Petty. It was my favorite halftime show ever.
I just felt like posting this because you never hear it on classic rock radio Jammin' Me <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lySLsc-ALL4&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lySLsc-ALL4&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I was looking forward to him playing this. My favorite Petty song <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4mX9-2xuyP8&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4mX9-2xuyP8&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Not to derail the thread too much but I watched House for the first time yesterday after the Super Bowl and I caught the episode tonight. I plan on immediately buying the DVD's. How come nobody told me about this show?
Gotta give Tom Petty props. His band put on a great show. I still think "Full Moon Fever" (Free Fallin', Won't Back Down, Runnin Down a Dream, Feel a Whole Lot Better) is one of the great rock albums.
If you are new to Tom Petty, I suggest "Into the Great Wide Open" and "Full Moon Fever" My two favorites. I thought he put on a good show. Then again, I used to be a big fan
I wanted to hear Rufugee. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-yiG6HLPZ84&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-yiG6HLPZ84&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Not even close. Just because you make a reference to pot doesn't make it a "good" song. They're both OK, just not my favorites. Here's some good ones, however: Learning to Fly <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4mX9-2xuyP8&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4mX9-2xuyP8&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Don't Come Around Here No More <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a7gWzWqJu1k&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a7gWzWqJu1k&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> And a great video with Johnny Depp: Into the Great Wide Open <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y-gVVGD7j3E&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y-gVVGD7j3E&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
