Gotta thinks some more. Do Traveling Wilburys songs count?

If they're Tom leads, (Last Night, End of the Line, Inside Out, Cool Dry Place, You Took My Breath Away, Wilbury Twist) then yes, they do count.

He contributed something to at least all of them. Everybody wrote everything.

If there were but one? "Mary Jane's Last Dance" Just love that track. But Petty is a great one indeed.

Love his singing on the Wilbury version on "Nobody's Child".

I think it's the only Petty track that I really like.

Really, Collin? I thought you'd be a big fan of "Refugee", "Shadow of a Doubt" or even "Anything That's Rock & Roll"

Nope.

Well, I guess I kinda like "American Girl," and "Listen to Her Heart" a bit too. I'm really not an active Petty fan though---I dig the guy (and his taste in guitars ! ), but the TP songs that I really like are few.

+1!

I like a lot of others as well. I can't think of any I dislike offhand, but this one's a fave number. :)
