When I started this list of favorites with “listen” in the title JJ asked me if there’d be anyone from down under. If he meant down under the Everglades, then yes! We sail into the top three with three classic songs, starting with this one. #3: Listen to Her Heart - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I guess I should hang an asterisk by that comment about this being a “classic” song. I lived in Florida at the time, so I got to hear a lot of Tom Petty before the rest of the world caught on. But this is one of his hits, and definitely one of the defining songs in his early career. For those of you who came along ten years too late, Petty really did record something other than “Free Falling” and “I Won’t Back Down.” And you actually used to be able to hear other songs on the radio. Those were the days. The music is still here, waiting to be discovered or re-discovered, or just enjoyed again.

I got to meet him, okay, just say “hello” to him, after I saw him in 1982.

I think he had a great career, and I never saw any decline in the quality of his work. There’s something magical about a few of those early tunes (this one, “American Girl,” and my favorite song of his, “Louisiana Rain”), though.

Your post put an ear worm into my head. And I haven't even listened to the Petty song yet. Do you remember this one? Alas, "listen" is not in the title.

No, I don’t know too much “deep cuts” from Todd.

So many great tunes besides "American Girl" and those you mentioned. When you create a Petty playlist there are enough great songs that you will not need any fillers. His recordings from 1974-78 were every bit as good as what came later in my opinion. And "I Won't Back Down" from that view

The thing that’s so cool about Tom is, when you listened to him talk, it didn’t sound at all like his singing voice. Not to the Jim Nabors extent, but…..

Some people like them, some people don’t. It’s understandable if you don’t care for them. It’s all good.
