Greatest Hits

by Tom Petty, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Overview

Greatest Hits is a lean yet complete overview of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' biggest singles from their first prime. Sure, it's possible to pinpoint a few great songs missing, but the group had a lot of great songs during the late '70s and '80s. This rounds up the biggest hits from that era, and in doing so, it turns into a succinct summary of the band at the top of its game. Everything from "American Girl" to "Free Fallin'" is included, with 18 tracks proving that Petty was one of the best rockers of his time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
