Tom Petty is one of the greatest song writers of any generation. Love his music, never gets old. Also, Alex being Alex and not seeing any of the first half of the video, only realizing something is weird AFTER watching Tom steal a corpse from a morgue and not registering it at all.
My dad got me into Tom Petty when I was just a little kid, ever since then I've loved his voice... For a beginner I would recommend the songs "American Girl", "Won't Back Down" and "Learning to Fly". Those three songs are the best (in my personal opinion) of his most popular songs
I'd say The Best of Everything, Spike, Make it Better (Forget About Me), The Last DJ, Learning to Fly, Wildflowers, The Apartment Song, Zombie Zoo, Trailer (Mudcrutch but still Tom Petty in General), Money is King, Saving Grace, You Wreck Me, and to end it cause I can name more, Feel A Whole Lot Better.
My favorite Tom petty song. Of course I'm prejudiced being an "Indiana Boy." "Is he dancing with a dead woman?" Who did you think he was taking home from the mortuary? Did you notice it was Kim Basinger as the corpse?
You should definitely check out Don't Come Around Here No More! It's probably my favorite of theirs though it's a tough call. If you like harmonica no one does it better than Aerosmith's Stephen Tyler!
My Mom loves Tom Petty. Because of that I know most of the songs. Definitely check out "you don't know how it feels " . God there's sooo many songs . I grew up with Tom Petty's music always blaring. It's ashame that he's no longer with us. 😥
I always felt that "southern accents" helps you to get a feel for him, and where hes coming from. I would also recommend "stop dragging my heart around" as a duet with Stevie Nicks.
I highly recommend "You Got Lucky" I loved the video concept, especially as it was early on in the days of Mtv. And "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" with the amazing Stevie Nicks. Two of my all time favorites.
The earliest videos, like Refugee and You Got Lucky actually predated MTV. Refugees was mademso that they wouldn't gavecto appearbon the zMerv Griffin Show. Others were record store promo film. They were meant to be seen a few times. Tom was horrified,when they went into heavy rotation on MTV!
Definitely more Petty reactions! Don't Come Around Here No More, American Girl, Breakdown, or Into the Great Wide Open! Stoner country rock at its best!
@@jenniferl.9947 I believe I heard Johnny played guitar on a Tom Petty track. I just looked up the video. You are absolutely correct Jennifer! 👍❤️ A young Johnny is in the video! So cute! I believe Tom got him to play slide guitar on the track because he was better at it. 😉🥰
Also! Tom Petty does a live performance of George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Prince and a bunch of other famous musicians. I highly recommend it, if it’s not something that will get hit with a copyright claim automatically.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers got me through my teen years. My fav band of all time!!! Since i was 15 everytime he came to Texas i was at the show. One of the best live performers ever. Mike Campbell is a very underrated guitarist. Check out their older songs like "Wild One Forever", "Refugee", and of course "American Girl".
I have loved Tom Petty most of my life. I have Tom Petty EVERYTHING! Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers was the greatest band of my time. They actually have hundreds of songs. Breakdown, was the introduction, and it has never stopped since. Mike Campbell, the guitar player is badass. RIP Tom Petty!
Free Falling is a pretty popular song. Petty released solo albums as well as albums with his band the Heartbreakers. If you want to see a bunch of superstars (including Petty) sing together, try something by the Traveling Wilburys.
If you think it sounds familiar, Tom petty sued Red Hot Chili Peppers because the riff for Dani California is very similar so it could be because of that
Tom Petty and the Peppers are friends and he said the songs may be similar. However the chorus is completely different. I love Tom Petty but Peppers more and are both good songs
Then again Last Dance are very close to The Jayhawks - Waiting For The Sun. They opened for Petty in 1992. And their keyboard player plays on both songs. So there are similarities both that's quite common in music. Both RHCP and Tom Petty were on the same label and both albums were produced by Rick Rubin
My late uncle was Tom’s doppelgänger, no joke! He also played and made custom guitars. Tom petty was a huge part of my childhood, I cried so much when he passed.
Tom petty was a great musician . I loved him being a part of the wilburys too. Such a great line up of talent we will probably never see the likes of again .
yes the travelling willburys ! I found them by accident while trying to look for the song "tweeter and the monkeyman" by the headstones and the one i found didn't have the artist name so when i clicked on it thats how i discovered the travelling willburys. they say curiosity kills the cat, but that day i was one happy cat
Tom Petty is just perfection. If you love the harmonica so much you need to react to Blues Traveler. I suggest " The Mountains Win Again" or Carolina Blues. You will be impressed
Tom Petty lived in Florida. Northern Florida is the deep South. Central and South Florida are very distinct regions from Northern part and the Southern states. But yes he had a slow pace of living rock songs. It was unique for sure. Also he was part of The Traveling Wilburys. With other legends we lost, like Roy Orbison and George Harrison. They were top of the charts in the 80s and 90s. Trust someone from Gen X who was a teen in the 90s. Great groove to those songs you can enjoy. Long summer drives, in a convertible, top down. Cold beveage and Tom Pertty blasting on the speakers. My idea of heaven I admit. Maybe in the mountauns. Clear skies, blue water, trees and peaks all around.
You need to listen to all of Tom Pettys work, he is just an amazing musician and so damn unique and creative. I still remember the day we heard he passed away, i cried for like two days listening to all his amazing songs. Tom is iconic i really wish i could have seen him live in concert.
For flat out weird video, "Don't Come Around Here No More." His was a great concert and I really enjoy the music. Other good songs include "Runnin' Down a Dream, "You Got Lucky" and "Refugee." 🙂❤
I was lucky enough to see Tom Petty in concert a few times before he passed he put on a great show and has had many hits over the years. Check out songs You Don’t Know How It Feels, Runnin’ Down A Dream, Learning To Fly are some good ones to start with
I got to see Tom Petty and the heartbreakers in Grand Rapids Mich in 2005, I was in the states visiting my little sister and she got the tickets for the show as a surprise for me. Fantastic show. 🇬🇧👍
OH MY MY! OH HELL YES! In my final years of high school, we used to sing this song a whole hell of a lot. It was a big deal. My favorite Tom Petty song ever, though, is Refugee. He has a bajillion hits, though, you could go down this rabbit hole for quite a while. It really broke my heart when I was at the Stevie Nicks concert recently and she played Free Fallin' for him, and cried, and talked about her friendship with him. Her collab with him, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, is pretty fucking fantastic as well. If you like harmonica, you should really get into some Aerosmith, just putting that out there. My boy Steven Tyler can really kill on that thing.
I find it super interesting to have watched your evolution from being a hip hop head to listening to these types of songs. I always like when you first love bands or songs that I do, but it's also the little things like you discovering the harmonica. For most of us, we've listened to these songs for most our lives. It's cool to see someone fall in love with the harmonica in front of your very eyes lol.
I think an explanation of why Tom was so big is the combination of being a cool, driven guy, partnering with quality musicians and producing consistent good, if not "epic" music. This, and the fact that they toured and delivered this quality whenever they performed, which was constant in the late '70's and '80's. Bottom line was that they had a catalog of songs people were attracted to and they gave people their money's worth live. Do that for 40 years and you can be there, too!!!
I'm a big time metalhead and just music enthusiast in general, but Tom Petty has always held a super special place in my heart. He was the first musician I wanted to be like, actually first celebrity I ever idolized. He is such an amazing artist. The thing about him (and the band) are they are just such a solid band, and just as good live as in the studio, but also amazing songwriting, Tom Petty literally has countless hit songs, and all of his songs are good in a different way. He has even written songs that other people recorded and play that you would probably be mind blown to know he wrote it. With that being said I highly suggest checking out "Room At the Top"
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You have to listen to Refugee, Breakdown, You Got Lucky, The Waiting, Even the Losers, Here Comes My Girl. Damn there are just too many good ones! Unique sound all around. Coolest rocker. RIP Tom Petty.
haha the look on your face the moment he put her in the water was classic. The woman in the video is Kim Basinger a Model/actress who started as a bond girl and also was Eminem's mom in 8 Mile
Running Down a Dream is a must listen - as well as Stop Dragging My Heart Around, where Tom duets with Stevie Nicks. I'd also suggest listening to the tribute to George Harrison - While My Guitar Gently Weeps. You get Tom, Jeff Lynne, Steve Windwood, Dhani Harrison and Prince. Stellar lineup.
Square One is still my all time favorite Tom Petty song. I saw Pearl Jam not long after his passing and they covered “Won’t Back Down” which is my other fav. Tom Petty is an icon!
Best Tom Petty songs, in my opinion, that are definitely worth a reaction are Breakdown, Runnin' Down a Dream, American Girl, I Won't Back Down and You Don't Know How It Feels.
If you want to hear some wailing on a harmonica check out Clutch, Electric Worry. Plus Tom Petty used a harmonica in many of his songs. He had it on a Holder around hid neck so he could play it while still using his guitar.
"Are you dancing with a dead woman?" YES! Did you notice in the beginning of the video that he's in a morgue? Or the toe tag on her when he's wheeling her out on a stretcher? That being said, I agree with your mom. Tom Petty is not one of my favorite artists, but he's okay. 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' is my favorite song of his. Yes, the video is weird, but the song is top-notch. RIP Tom Petty.
Alex!!! I fucking love you man. I've been watching your videos the whole week. I came here from a Lana Del Rey reaction and realised you're one of the most fun reactors here on UA-cam!!! Big hugs man!!!
Love Tom’s music but sadly never got to see him live in concert ( less opportunity here in the UK). Running Down A Dream is a great song and I’d also suggest Breakdown or I Need To Know.
The moment you realized what was happening in the video and your eyes got confused… priceless. You were just jamming out and cracking jokes, oblivious to the strange happenings going on!
If you like harmonica, you need to listen to Blues Traveler immediately. The album is named Four, and I recommend Run-Around and Hook to start off with. Those were the two biggest singles off the album.
I wont back down, American Girl, Dont do me like that, You don't know how it feels, Into the great wide open, You wreck me, Learning to fly, Runnin down a dream, Refugee, and Flirting with time are all fucking great goddamn songs, everyone deserves a listen. Tom Petty was the best.
“Why is she unconscious in your house” Dude, she isn’t unconscious… Mary Jane, yea, it’s SO a person, uh huh. She’s been my date for 40 years, always reliable, never lets you down.
Grew up in the 90's as a teen..Tom was around still alive..Making masterpieces when Kurt,Tupac,Biggie,and NWA was around..He started with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers think mostly in 90's Tom Petty Like John Walsh or Eagles Legend's 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Music changed SO MUCH over the course of Tom Petty's career, from the 70s to 2017, but Tom was always Tom, and he was fantastic in a kind of zen southern way. And I'd put the Heartbreakers up against any other backing band in rock history.
Ok, first thing, kudos to mom. Make that list! Now you’re obligated! Tom Petty was one of my most favorites. Always original and so very talented. He passed way too young. RIP you super rock and roller.
Alex you have to react to more Tom Petty! Stop Dragging My Heart Around (ft Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac,) Refugee, American Girl, Learning to Fly, You Don't Know How it Feels, Don't Do Me Like That, Honey Bee. So many!
I think Tom Petty songs were the soundtrack for many people's coming of age. I grew up on 70s Petty, and his songs like "Even the Losers" or "Here comes my Girl" tells the story that many people lived.
You get any further into his catalog check out won’t back down that the university of Florida fans do between the 3rd and 4th quarters. It’s kinda cool watching 85k+ sing it. They picked that song to honor Tom after his death
Alex: "Why is this girl unconscious in your house?" Me: "Have you not watched any of the damn video!!" Alex "Ummm...no, but, HARMONICA!!!" Alex: (dancing)
One of my favourite T.Petty songs. He's awesome (don't listen to your mom. Well, okay listen to her all the time, but maybe not on this specific topic ;-) The harmonica is perfect for the feel of this song; You should def check out 'You don't know how it feels' for more country vibe and harmonica, and then 'Don't Come Around Here No More' for more freakishness in the official video - plus it's a weird cool song.
My absolute favorite Tom Petty song is Learning to Fly, which oddly enough is the name of my favorite Pink Floyd song (nothing in common, except maybe being about drugs lol). Besides that Into the Great Wide Open Runnin down a Dream I Won't Back Down
Tom Petty was one of the best! Check out these songs: American Girl Learning to Fly Don’t Come Around Here No More Into the Great Wide Open I Won’t Back Down You Don’t Know How it Feels The Waiting Runnin’ Down a Dream
Different bands do different things well that lead to popularity. I think Tom Petty is exceptional at crafting songs that your pre alcoholic aunt can mumble the lyrics and bob her head to.
Definitely check out these songs from Tom Petty- Don’t Come Around Here No More Refugees Running Down A Dream You Don’t Know How It Feels I Won’t Back Down Into The Great Wide Open Learning To Fly Also check out his duet with Stevie Nicks- Stop Draggin My Heart Around
"Runnin' Down A Dream" is another track you should check out. It will make you want to get in your car and tear up some asphalt. Great road trip song!
@-The_Alex_Hefner_- Waddup?
Running Down a Dream!
And the video is so good for this one!!
It also has a crazy trippy video.
I was singing this song literally 3 days ago and couldn’t remember who sang it, thank you man 😂
I'm a metal head, but I love Tom Petty.....his music is just cool. Thats the only way I can think to explain him....cool. RIP
As Dave Grohl put it: "he was a cool mother fucker!"
Me too! Metal and Tom Petty. ❤😂
Ha! thought i was a rare breed of being a metal but loving Tom Petty.
Wish my metal head best friend thought the same :(
Dude, there are just some artist you cannot dislike, even if you’re an Metalhead
Tom Petty is one of the greatest song writers of any generation. Love his music, never gets old. Also, Alex being Alex and not seeing any of the first half of the video, only realizing something is weird AFTER watching Tom steal a corpse from a morgue and not registering it at all.
lol I was wondering how long it was going to take before he noticed.
At any Tom Petty concert you are much more likely to see a lot more potheads than alcohol drinkers.
You’re more likely to not see anyone there now.
One right here❤
Not anymore you're not
Like that’s a bad thing.
@@c1ph3rpunk I saw his last show on 420 or at least his last 420 show
My dad got me into Tom Petty when I was just a little kid, ever since then I've loved his voice... For a beginner I would recommend the songs "American Girl", "Won't Back Down" and "Learning to Fly". Those three songs are the best (in my personal opinion) of his most popular songs
Popular doesn't mean good though.
I'd say The Best of Everything, Spike, Make it Better (Forget About Me), The Last DJ, Learning to Fly, Wildflowers, The Apartment Song, Zombie Zoo, Trailer (Mudcrutch but still Tom Petty in General), Money is King, Saving Grace, You Wreck Me, and to end it cause I can name more, Feel A Whole Lot Better.
@@kiillabytez true, but those songs are iconic AF so...
My favorite Tom petty song. Of course I'm prejudiced being an "Indiana Boy." "Is he dancing with a dead woman?" Who did you think he was taking home from the mortuary? Did you notice it was Kim Basinger as the corpse?
She is not dead.
He said it was a sing about a girl. 😊
You think he knows who Kim Basinger is?
You should definitely check out Don't Come Around Here No More! It's probably my favorite of theirs though it's a tough call. If you like harmonica no one does it better than Aerosmith's Stephen Tyler!
Video is amazing in that.
My Mom loves Tom Petty. Because of that I know most of the songs. Definitely check out "you don't know how it feels " . God there's sooo many songs . I grew up with Tom Petty's music always blaring. It's ashame that he's no longer with us. 😥
I was just thinking of how much I miss my mom. She loved Tom Petty. I have a great love for music because of her
I always felt that "southern accents" helps you to get a feel for him, and where hes coming from. I would also recommend "stop dragging my heart around" as a duet with Stevie Nicks.
Tom Petty definitely has a unique sound - not a lot of songs sound like that
“You don’t know how it feels.” Is an awesome song & love the video even more. Highly suggest!!
Running Down a Dream!
... To be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...... Very good song
There 2 versonson you don't know how it feels one he rolls another joint the other he hits another joint
A couple of them I recommend is Running Down A Dream and Won't Back Down. Very good songs. 😊
I highly recommend "You Got Lucky" I loved the video concept, especially as it was early on in the days of Mtv. And "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" with the amazing Stevie Nicks. Two of my all time favorites.
The earliest videos, like Refugee and You Got Lucky actually predated MTV.
Refugees was mademso that they wouldn't gavecto appearbon the zMerv Griffin Show.
Others were record store promo film.
They were meant to be seen a few times.
Tom was horrified,when they went into heavy rotation on MTV!
Definitely more Petty reactions! Don't Come Around Here No More, American Girl, Breakdown, or Into the Great Wide Open! Stoner country rock at its best!
Running Down a Dream!
American girl is a great song. It was featured in silence of the lambs.
Don’t come around here no more - the video is like Alice in wonderland.
And Into the Great Wide Open has Johnny Depp, right? It's been a while since I've seen it.
@@jenniferl.9947 I believe I heard Johnny played guitar on a Tom Petty track. I just looked up the video. You are absolutely correct Jennifer! 👍❤️ A young Johnny is in the video! So cute! I believe Tom got him to play slide guitar on the track because he was better at it. 😉🥰
@@waterdragon2224 yep, I just did too! Faye Dunaway is also in it. Did you happen to catch Matt LeBlanc at the end?
One of my favorite songs by Tom Petty is You Don’t Know How It Feels. I recommend that one! It’s an interesting music video as well.
Also! Tom Petty does a live performance of George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Prince and a bunch of other famous musicians. I highly recommend it, if it’s not something that will get hit with a copyright claim automatically.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers got me through my teen years. My fav band of all time!!! Since i was 15 everytime he came to Texas i was at the show. One of the best live performers ever. Mike Campbell is a very underrated guitarist. Check out their older songs like "Wild One Forever", "Refugee", and of course "American Girl".
The entire Wild Flowers album was fantastic. my favorite from them
That was Tom's second solo outing, though some HBs played on it.
I have loved Tom Petty most of my life. I have Tom Petty EVERYTHING! Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers was the greatest band of my time. They actually have hundreds of songs. Breakdown, was the introduction, and it has never stopped since. Mike Campbell, the guitar player is badass. RIP Tom Petty!
Free Falling is a pretty popular song. Petty released solo albums as well as albums with his band the Heartbreakers. If you want to see a bunch of superstars (including Petty) sing together, try something by the Traveling Wilburys.
Yes, the TWs were good. Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison.
Free falling was like the "smells like teen spirit " of that day and age. Good song but overplayed and didn't really represent the artist.
If you think it sounds familiar, Tom petty sued Red Hot Chili Peppers because the riff for Dani California is very similar so it could be because of that
Reeeeally?!?!?
Tom Petty and the Peppers are friends and he said the songs may be similar. However the chorus is completely different. I love Tom Petty but Peppers more and are both good songs
Then again Last Dance are very close to The Jayhawks - Waiting For The Sun. They opened for Petty in 1992. And their keyboard player plays on both songs. So there are similarities both that's quite common in music. Both RHCP and Tom Petty were on the same label and both albums were produced by Rick Rubin
My late uncle was Tom’s doppelgänger, no joke! He also played and made custom guitars. Tom petty was a huge part of my childhood, I cried so much when he passed.
Tom petty was a great musician . I loved him being a part of the wilburys too. Such a great line up of talent we will probably never see the likes of again .
yes the travelling willburys ! I found them by accident while trying to look for the song "tweeter and the monkeyman" by the headstones and the one i found didn't have the artist name so when i clicked on it thats how i discovered the travelling willburys. they say curiosity kills the cat, but that day i was one happy cat
Tom Petty is just perfection. If you love the harmonica so much you need to react to Blues Traveler. I suggest " The Mountains Win Again" or Carolina Blues. You will be impressed
I was going to suggest this band. I love that band & those songs by them so much!! 🎶

I was in the states visiting my little sister and she got the tickets for the show as a surprise for me.
Fantastic show. 🇬🇧👍
OH MY MY! OH HELL YES!
In my final years of high school, we used to sing this song a whole hell of a lot. It was a big deal.
My favorite Tom Petty song ever, though, is Refugee. He has a bajillion hits, though, you could go down this rabbit hole for quite a while.
It really broke my heart when I was at the Stevie Nicks concert recently and she played Free Fallin' for him, and cried, and talked about her friendship with him. Her collab with him, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, is pretty fucking fantastic as well.

"Here Comes My Girl". I ❤ this song. So uniquely Tom Petty....I doubt anyone could cover this and do it justice.
Would you consider that one a wedding song?
YOU GOT LUCKY BY TOM PETTY 🔥 my favorite song by him ‼️
I find it super interesting to have watched your evolution from being a hip hop head to listening to these types of songs.

That’s why I love watching Alex listen to music I like for the first time. You get to relive the experience and hear some different perspectives. ❤
IT TOOK you this long.. That song is my fav. I make a habit to listen to it whenever i can.
Yes!!!! He's one of my favorites!

With that being said I highly suggest checking out "Room At the Top"
my dad saw him live in London when he was 18, said it was one of the best live performances he's ever been to
I am sure others have said this but "Don't Come Around Here No More". Has been hailed as his best song and the video is wild.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You have to listen to Refugee, Breakdown, You Got Lucky, The Waiting, Even the Losers, Here Comes My Girl. Damn there are just too many good ones! Unique sound all around. Coolest rocker. RIP Tom Petty.
Listen to You Don't Know How it Feels, Tom Petty just plays great Rock n Roll man.
haha the look on your face the moment he put her in the water was classic. The woman in the video is Kim Basinger a Model/actress who started as a bond girl and also was Eminem's mom in 8 Mile
Running Down a Dream is a must listen - as well as Stop Dragging My Heart Around, where Tom duets with Stevie Nicks. I'd also suggest listening to the tribute to George Harrison - While My Guitar Gently Weeps. You get Tom, Jeff Lynne, Steve Windwood, Dhani Harrison and Prince. Stellar lineup.
Square One is still my all time favorite Tom Petty song. I saw Pearl Jam not long after his passing and they covered “Won’t Back Down” which is my other fav. Tom Petty is an icon!
I'm pretty sure the first Tom Petty song I heard was American Girl because they used it in Silence of the Lambs. Loved him ever since.
Best Tom Petty songs, in my opinion, that are definitely worth a reaction are Breakdown, Runnin' Down a Dream, American Girl, I Won't Back Down and You Don't Know How It Feels.
Runnin down a dream is great. Throughout the late 70s up to the late 90s he released one banger album after another.
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around with Stevie Nicks!! That song is an absolute banger!
Such a classic! Another good one from Tom Petty is Runnin Down a Dream
Running Down a Dream, Free Fallin' are definitely must-listens for Tom Petty
Probably the all time greatest harmonica rock song is "Train, Train" by Blackfoot. Straight ahead Blues based Southern rock.
Tom petty was my first concert. He was great. Check out “it’s good to be king” or “you don’t know how it feels”
If you want to hear some wailing on a harmonica check out Clutch, Electric Worry.
Plus Tom Petty used a harmonica in many of his songs. He had it on a Holder around hid neck so he could play it while still using his guitar.
"Are you dancing with a dead woman?" YES! Did you notice in the beginning of the video that he's in a morgue? Or the toe tag on her when he's wheeling her out on a stretcher? That being said, I agree with your mom. Tom Petty is not one of my favorite artists, but he's okay. 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' is my favorite song of his. Yes, the video is weird, but the song is top-notch. RIP Tom Petty.
that is not just a Dead Body he is Dancing with that is Kim Basinger and tom petty has a bunch of great songs and hits many bands wished they Had.
Tom Petty was one of my mom's favorite artists, she also got a huge kick out of role of Lucky on King of the Hill as well! RIP Mom and Tom Petty.
love tom petty. R.I.P. great artist gone way to soon. Should checkout more of his songs. Into the Great Wide Open is amazing!
You need to react to Stop Dragging My Heart Around. Tom Petry does a duet with my favorite singer Stevie Nicks. The song is absolute fire.
Alex!!! I fucking love you man. I've been watching your videos the whole week. I came here from a Lana Del Rey reaction and realised you're one of the most fun reactors here on UA-cam!!! Big hugs man!!!
Into the great one open - great one from Mr Petty, many famous cameos there.
Great tune. Great concert as well. RIP Tom Petty. You're one of my favourites.
Running down a dream and you don't know how it feels are awesome songs
Wow that's a wonderful song Alex it's really good. Love your channel Alex you are awesome❤
You got lucky was the first song I heard on MTV by Tom Petty, fellin love w the sound.
The song “Don’t come around here no more” legit changed my life when I was kid. It’s just good tunes, his music.
Love Tom’s music but sadly never got to see him live in concert ( less opportunity here in the UK).
Running Down A Dream is a great song and I’d also suggest Breakdown or I Need To Know.
The moment you realized what was happening in the video and your eyes got confused… priceless. You were just jamming out and cracking jokes, oblivious to the strange happenings going on!
Tom Petty is amazing, so many great songs
One of my favourites was always Zombie Zoo; haven't listened to it in ages.
If you like harmonica, you need to listen to Blues Traveler immediately. The album is named Four, and I recommend Run-Around and Hook to start off with. Those were the two biggest singles off the album.
Refugee, American Girl, and Just Got Lucky should be on your TP list.
And Even The Losers 😁
Dont Come Around Here No More is a must listen and the video is a trip!
Wish I had gotten to see them in concert before he passed away. RIP Tom.
I wont back down, American Girl, Dont do me like that, You don't know how it feels, Into the great wide open, You wreck me, Learning to fly, Runnin down a dream, Refugee, and Flirting with time are all fucking great goddamn songs, everyone deserves a listen. Tom Petty was the best.
“Why is she unconscious in your house”
Dude, she isn’t unconscious…
Mary Jane, yea, it’s SO a person, uh huh. She’s been my date for 40 years, always reliable, never lets you down.
Grew up in the 90's as a teen..Tom was around still alive..Making masterpieces when Kurt,Tupac,Biggie,and NWA was around..He started with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers think mostly in 90's Tom Petty Like John Walsh or Eagles Legend's 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Any Tom Petty song is recommended, but Refugee is o e of my favorites, there are so many. Deeep rabbit hole, keep going.
Love Tom Petty!!!! So chill, and of course sounds good when your high🤣
'Don't Come Around Here No More' is my all time favorite from Tom Petty.
THE JOHN CANDY.... MUST DO THEM!!!!
American Girl and Breakdown are my favorites
Music changed SO MUCH over the course of Tom Petty's career, from the 70s to 2017, but Tom was always Tom, and he was fantastic in a kind of zen southern way. And I'd put the Heartbreakers up against any other backing band in rock history.
U gotta check out a little bit of an older tune by him “American girl”
This is a great song. I have always been and still am a fan of his music.
4:18 - this is EXACTLY how these shows went at Saratoga Performing Arts Center which was outdoors. EXACTLY.
"I won't back down"and "Free Falling" are great songs by Tom Petty
Ok, first thing, kudos to mom. Make that list! Now you’re obligated!
Tom Petty was one of my most favorites. Always original and so very talented. He passed way too young.
RIP you super rock and roller.
Alex you have to react to more Tom Petty! Stop Dragging My Heart Around (ft Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac,) Refugee, American Girl, Learning to Fly, You Don't Know How it Feels, Don't Do Me Like That, Honey Bee. So many!
I think Tom Petty songs were the soundtrack for many people's coming of age. I grew up on 70s Petty, and his songs like "Even the Losers" or "Here comes my Girl" tells the story that many people lived.
You get any further into his catalog check out won’t back down that the university of Florida fans do between the 3rd and 4th quarters. It’s kinda cool watching 85k+ sing it. They picked that song to honor Tom after his death
Tom Petty is straight up rock. Anything that smacks it country is accident.
And yes, harmonica is amazing.
Oh man your in for a treat with a lot of his songs..also listen to honey bee ..fantastic one of my favorites
Alex: "Why is this girl unconscious in your house?"
Me: "Have you not watched any of the damn video!!"
Alex "Ummm...no, but, HARMONICA!!!"
Alex: (dancing)
This is not country music. This is pure rock
One of my favourite T.Petty songs. He's awesome (don't listen to your mom. Well, okay listen to her all the time, but maybe not on this specific topic ;-) The harmonica is perfect for the feel of this song; You should def check out 'You don't know how it feels' for more country vibe and harmonica, and then 'Don't Come Around Here No More' for more freakishness in the official video - plus it's a weird cool song.
My absolute favorite Tom Petty song is Learning to Fly, which oddly enough is the name of my favorite Pink Floyd song (nothing in common, except maybe being about drugs lol). Besides that
Into the Great Wide Open
Runnin down a Dream
I Won't Back Down
Tom Petty was one of the best!
Check out these songs:

Different bands do different things well that lead to popularity. I think Tom Petty is exceptional at crafting songs that your pre alcoholic aunt can mumble the lyrics and bob her head to.
