Wildflowers. It was his masterpiece. I doubt he'll ever top it.

He already did with You're Gonna Get It and Damn The Torpedoes.

Well, seeing as Wildflowers was released some several years after Damn the Torps and You're Gonna Get it..some would say that Wildflowers topped those two albums

i am very proud to say that in my opinion tpah's last cd is their best album ever.

the last dj hit a chord with me, especially in the times that we are now in. tom has always been there fighting for the fan's rights, while also keeping the music/dream real. in times like this we need this cd and tpah more than ever. the word integrity comes to mind.

2nd choice...wildflowers. cause wake up time is the one the greatest songs ever written. it was so nice to hear tom felt the same way about that song as i did, when he mentioned how proud he was of that song at the radio broadcast vic show.

Wildflowers, and this is why:

Wildflowers was about Tom and Jane's divorce. I think Tom really opened up to the world and spilled out everything in this album, and this is captured in the power the lyrics create. My favorite song on the album: "Only A Broken Heart". In each verse Tom sings of the horrors of love gone wrong, but "I'm not afraid anymore / it's only a broken heart". When I listen to the song I feel like Tom is spilling out all of the pain he felt over his divorce. You even capture a sense of remorse with lines like "What would I give / to start all over again / to clean up my mistakes"

The album is filled with touching love songs, ballads and great Rock 'n' Roll highlighted by "You Don't Know How It Feels", "Honey Bee", "It's Good To Be King" and "You Wreck Me". Every track on the album bears a distinction and a quality that separates it from every other, and creates an excellent album full of amazing songs.

I wish I could go into why each song is amazing, like I did for "Only A Broken Heart", but I know that no one will read my post if it's that long, so I'll leave it at that.

Rock on!

Without a doubt the best album he ever made was Wildflowers.

This always makes me scratch my head when I read this. How could it be about their divorce? They'd split and reconciled several times throughout a fairly long and stormy marriage..but Jane Petty traveled with Tom throughout the entire Wildflowers tour! They were still very much together. They had reconciled AGAIN. It seemed at least that Jane was taking the reconciliation seriously. There is a very long article from RollingStone Magazine which I have quoting Jane Petty on the Wildflowers tour. Jane (and the kids too) also show up in video footage from same tour.

I'd have to vote for Wildflowers as well. There really isn't a song you can skip over on this album. I always start the album on "To Find a Friend" because I just can't wait to hear that song again and again!

By the way, anyone know who says "Take four" before To Find a Friend? And is it REALLY only take FOUR?? WOW! lol

"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me!" Jagger/Richards

I thought it says "take ONE" on To Find a Friend.

But don't listen to me. I'm going deaf.

"It's five cats in sweaters doing dance steps." TP

Valeryan you CAN'T go deaf!! We'll all chip in and get you an extra speaker so you can still hear this music!
For some reason, I always think of Scott saying "Take Four", but I don't know their "speaking" voices, so who knows!? Come on Petty experts... give us the low down!

Tom Petty Chat Room

i think that either damn the torpedos or tom petty and the heartbreakers are my favourite albums



"i've stood in your gallery, seen what's hangin from the walls" - tom petty 1982

I'll go for 'Wildflowers' and 'The Last DJ' but I still haven't heard all..

" I´m not afraid anymore, it´s only a broken heart."

Well, at first I would have said Long After Dark meerly because of "Straight into Darkness",but now because I have come to terms with Tom's unique ability to say what he wants to, I think that Echo is by far the best album yet.
