Album Description: Hailing from the state of Florida, singer-songwriter Tom Petty has come to epitomize a new rootsy style of California rock'n'roll. Rhythmically, the music harkens back to the basic crunch of the Rolling Stones and the dancing pop of the Beatles, while Petty's gravelly vocals and sing-song narrative style suggest roots in the folk-blues Americana of Bob Dylan. This new Greatest Hits collection replaces the classic hit of "Something in the Air" with "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" featuring Stevie Nicks.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Petty Rocks
This is really a fine collection of Tom Petty's greatest hits. We just saw his fantastic Big Time Rock & Roll show at the Gorge this summer, and my daughter says she likes every song on this CD!
Rating: - MUST HAVE CD
This CD is excellent! It certainly brings back fond memories. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are a true Rock and Roll band that you do not find in this day and age.
Rating: - Well
Over the past 32 years, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers have given us nothing but great music. These guys have lasted 30+ years and proved that they can still rock and roll just as good as they could when they first started. So, in 1993, MCA (now Geffen) released the classic hits collection 'Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits.' The record has now been considered a classic compilation.
Earlier this year, Geffen remastered the album and added a bonus track. So, how does this album measure up?
Well, when I saw this in the stores, my feelings were mixed.

Rating: - CLASSIC PETTY
THIS IS A CLASSIC AND CONTAINS A FAVORITE SELDOM HEARD SONG "MARY JANES LAST DANCE" WHICH HAS A DISTINCT RYTHM THAT STANDS ALONE FROM A LOT OF HIS SONGS. I LOVE IT!
Rating: - Same old greatest hits
this is worth it if you don't have the 93 version, if you do don't spend $8 on the one exchanged song. go for anthology as its a much more comprehensive TP album. i'll be at the show in selma, tx in aug.
