Oh, I love that you named your daughter Shannon after Del Shannon!!

I agree that there is so much perfect music to choose from, it is impossible to choose one!

~ I'm surprised by this, frightened by this - nothing ever got me so out of my head, baby ~

I have to agree with Tom Petty Greatest Hits Cd
Followed by the Last DJ!

Hope to hear from you soon, Terry

I have the albums "Damn The Torpedos" and "Anthology: Throughout the years" so far. Terry, do you have those CDs?

Besides 'Anthology', I would have to say that my favorite Tom album is definitely 'Full Moon Fever', as it was his break out album, in a sense, and has so many good songs on it, is just a really good album all the way through, you know? I can listen to all the songs, and not feel the need to skip any, so yeah. 'FMF' is my fave Tom album.

I am new to the board and I am "resurrecting" this old thread from 2003. It is interesting to read where everyone's head was 2 years ago. Wonder if anything has changed, opinions, etc.

I have to agree with the person who said, "How can you pick a favorite? It's like chosing one child over another?"

These are the CD's I play the most- and not in any particular order:

Full Moon Fever 89

Greatest Hits 93

WildFlowers 94

(personal note: 88-95 best and special times in my life. And during those special times with those 2 special people, guess who was playing in the background day and night?....)

Hard Promises 81 (wow 24 years I've had this!!!)

Growing on me real fast: ECHO 99 (GOT NO AIRPLAY IN LA)

Need to get into: She's The One 96
The Last DJ (2003?- THIS GOT NO AIRPLAY IN LOS ANGELES. Figures. Dissed by the very goons he was blasting himself!)

My favorite is Shes the One, then the boxset, then Wildflowers, then Last DJ

My favorite album is "Anthology: Throughout the years" because I think it has the best songs in the album. I really like it besides "Damn the torpedos." Mikemono, do you like neither of those albums?

The best album -- but it didn't get any airplay anywhere.

I love the Anthology, its just a collection tho, one of my favorites (surrender) is on there, and i dont have torpedoes yet.

"Damn the Torpedoes" is a GREAT album! you should get it! It is really cool!

Long After Dark is amazing!

^ i like most of it. but some of its way too 80s for me. i like tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8. but i dont like any of them a lot a lot..just i like them

I am going to have to say that the best cd's tom has put out are probably, in no particular order,
damn the torpedos- who the hell doesn't love refugee?
echo- you can totally understand where he was coming from.
wildflowers- i think that you don't know how it feels and its good to be king, are just awesome to listen to.

"Damn The Torpedoes" all the way!!

i'm going to have to say full moon fever. i think it's b/c that's when i was first introduced to TPHBs, when that album came out. i remember listening to that tape so many times in the car, over and over and over, for years. i used to play travel hockey w/ my brothers, so we were in the car every weekend, & my dad bought that tape when it came out, to add to his collection of 2 or 3 other tapes, lol. so needless to say we listened to it alot.

For me its a toss up between Wildflowers adn Echo

No question about Damn The Torpedoes is by far the best, however i like Tom's greatest hits too but that's not really an breakout album
peace

I'd say Wildflowers. It is such a joy to listen to. However, choosing a favorite is so hard because it depends on my mood. I'm a true Gemini. That's part of why Tom is great. His music is so varied that has the right tune for any moment. Luv U!
