Best wishes for Tom Petty

This is terrible news. Saw TP&THB several times in the early days. Always put on a terrific show and is one of those artists who continued to release great work.

Any fans of 'Lucky?'

Rest In Peace Tom wishing your family and friends my deepest sympathy.

"Please don’t misinterpret this message but I never cared for Tom Petty’s music. When I first heard him I thought....oh my gosh, here is the next Bob Dylan, but he seemed to veer more toward pop music and I never cared for his sound."

falconcrest- while TP earned his long, prolific career, my interest dropped off after his 3rd release "Damn the Torpedoes" I think the MTV era was nearing about that time, which is when I tuned out many rock bands.

Regarding those 3 releases-IMO, this is his peak. Music and songwriting with "substance(story telling and solid playing). Nice sounding albums to boot.
After that, the music just didn’t hold my attention.
Never the less, terrible event. We’ve already had enough bad news lately. At least TP isn’t physically suffering right now. Whoever is controlling the media machine at the hospital, needs to do a better job.

Always liked his hits but never collected his music. What is the sonic quality of his remastered 2-CD anthology of 2000?  Would like to have this if it improves on original releases.
