He's sold millions of albums, filled arenas, and hobnobbed with George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, but Tom Petty's driving heartland rock has often been taken for granted by the same critics who hail John Mellencamp as a genius. Greatest Hits is an airtight argument for Petty's own greatness. Starting with "American Girl," the rollicking, Byrds-inspired single from Petty's first album in 1976, this compilation presents a chronological overview of the guitarist-vocalist's career with and without the Heartbreakers, also chronically underrated as one of today's best bands. Every one of the 16 older tracks is a well-crafted gem, full of solid guitar hooks ("Here Comes My Girl"), arresting images ("Don't Come Around Here No More") and simple but poetic lyrics ("The Waiting").
Petty isn't an innovator; he's a talented craftsman with impeccable taste and a strong sense of rock history, internalizing influences ranging from the Beatles' psychedelic masterpiece, Revolver, to the best of '70s punk. (It's interesting to remember that early efforts such as "Refugee" and "Don't Do Me Like That" first won Petty attention as a New Wave artist). With his Dylanesque vocals and chiming 12-string guitars, Petty is more often linked these days with the sounds of the '60s. But recent tunes such as "Learning to Fly" and "Into the Great Wide Open" are as smart, relevant and (dare I say) alternative as anything in MTV's Buzz Bin. --Jim DeRogatis

- Petty it ain't not!This is a fine collection of rootsy rock n roll music - right up there with Springsteen/E-Street band.
The Dylan/Byrds influences are obvious but this collection also rocks out with its own unique Petty stamp. Check out Damn the Torpedoes (1979), to get a sense of his/their early output (couple of tracks featured here - Don't lose my girl, Refugee).
This is pure americana. And a great backing band to boot.

- You Rock EverywhereMan, this is one of my all-time favorite albums. The first thing that got me hooked on you was seeing/hearing you in Black and White Night with Roy Orbison. Great stuff! So in turn, I bought this album of yours first, with many more to follow.
You rock in every group you play with!!!

- Petty's GreatsThis cd includes the best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.If you love his music then this is a "must have",for sure!
Rating:
- Go here for "Something In The Air"Tom Petty is the embodiment of a classic rocker. He and his band, The Heartbreakers, are in the same league as Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band or Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. The personify a certain working class ethos and stuck to their roots, all while codifying their influences to a sound that became singularly theirs. In Petty's case, that was a love of sixties rock that revolved around The Byrds and The Rolling Stones, with the Heartbreakers adding inspired backing.
