“Honeybee” Although 1994’s Wildflowers was billed as a Petty solo album, it’s really a Heartbreakers’ album, and one of their best, at that. Luckily, it translates live, as every fan can cheer with the band, singing, “How bout a cheer for all those bad girls? / And all those boys that play that rock and roll / They love it like you love Jesus / It does the same thing to their souls.”ġ4. This one happens to be a love song dropped inside a statement album, and among The Heartbreakers’ most heartbreaking tracks.
“Have Love, Will Travel” Not every song on 2002’s The Last DJ preached the dangers of corporate greed. Here then are the 15 best songs by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.ġ5. We’re sticking to The Heartbreakers canon here, exempting Petty’s work with The Traveling Wilburys and the early Heartbreakers prototype Mudcrutch. Since the band has been touring this year in celebration of their 40th anniversary (and just resumed their massive tour last week), we decided to take a look at some of The Heartbreakers’s best songs. As a unit, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are a full-on rock machine, cranking out both radio hits and solid full albums, and have long since established themselves as one of the best live bands on the planet. Tom Petty walks the line between rock poet and complex guitar hero, in the same league as Bob Dylan and Neil Young. To the uninitiated, he’s too often confused with Southern rock a la Lynyrd Skynyrd by mid-level fans, he’s too written off as pop radio. For a stick-thin, towheaded, Elvis fan from Florida, Thomas Earl Petty is, perhaps, an unexpected rock legend.
