Fucking sad.
RIP. “Learning to Fly” and “Walls” are my favorite Petty songs. Also always liked “Time to move on,” which would make me cry if I listened to it now. ![]() |

You Got Lucky is the best
If being an artist means being true to yourself regardless of the whims of people or the market or the culture, then Petty was a real artist. he did his music, how he liked it, with whom he liked. It was always Tom Petty music.

Yeah. Well said. I loved him when I was a kid. Just adored Tom Petty. Not so much the rocky stuff, but the George Harrison and Jeff Lynne-influenced ballads. And he even maintained a bit of an edge in the wake of alternative rock. I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I used to listen to “You Don’t Know How it Feels” and “Last Dance with Mary Jane” right alongside Nirvana and Beck and stuff in the mid-‘90s. So did a lot of my friends who had similar taste. Also, I listened to “Time to Move on” and it did indeed make me cry. ![]() |

Yeah, Rob. Good tribute. He always struck me as one of the "good guys"

He actually performed "You Don't Know How It Feels" with Dave Grohl on drums on SNL.

Runnin' Down a Dream is a personal fave of mine. I will be playing it on my show Saturday.
He also co-wrote my fave solo Stevie Nicks track https://youtu.be/6UD0c58nNCQ Stop Draggin My Heart Around

I am genuinely sad about his passing. Nowadays, 66 isn't all that old. But I lost interest in his music after the first three albums--same thing over and over again, and that's from someone who digs repetition in his music, as Mark E. Smith once said. And IMHO, his "man of the people" pose was mostly phony. I'll honor him this weekend, though, by listening to Johnny Cash's version of Won't Back Down, which surpasses the original. |

I know. I remember. ![]() It’s funny. I’m not a Petty “fan” really, but the guy’s music has been with me my entire life. I bought Wildflowers when it came out. Used to road trip with my father listening to Into the Great Wide Open. “Walls” was one of my favorite songs back in ‘95 or whenever that was. Sad indeed. |

Petty was an early champion of Wilco — as early as A.M., if I'm not mistaken. A couple of hours ago the band posted their live cover of "The Waiting" on their Facebook page:

Really? I kinda bought it. I feel like a dick, but I've been scouring his catalog the past few days, and I might be able to put together a nice forty minute compilation, but that's about it. I will say that his 80s stuff could've really, really sucked, but the production is a bit more tasteful than his peers. Kudos for that. Oh, and I can't find it anywhere, but he did a version of "Running Down a Dream" on SNL that can't be denied. Fucking rocks. Sick of the song but the band was on fire. Saw it awhile ago and it really stuck with me. Maybe listening to some live shows will grow my appreciation. |

Well, no question, he’s not the kind of artist that fits easily into a taste palette that is based on/around Sonic Youth. Definitely a “best of” artist, but still... one of the good ones. Had a couple genuinely great songs, and a whole lot of really meh ones, but he was true blue. He also voiced a character on King of the Hill — I forget the name now — which is one of his greatest achievements. |
