Rate the albums!

Post by JakeK »

For those of you who are like me (then you're a confused person, too!) and have every Petty album, or at least a good chunk of them, how would YOU rate them?

Studio albums:
1. Damn the Torpedoes
2. Hard Promises
3. Wildflowers
4. Full Moon Fever
5. Long After Dark
6. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
7. You're Gonna Get It!
8. Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)
9. Southern Accents
10. Highway Companion
11. Into the Great Wide Open
12. She's the One
13. Pack Up the Plantation: LIVE!
14. Echo
15. The Last DJ

Compilations:
1. Anthology Through the Years
2. Playback
3. Greatest Hits (version 1)
4. Greatest Hits (version 2)

Your turn!

The second version is the same as the first, although it replaces "Something in the Air" for "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around".

Echo is one of my favorites. It feels so personal. I think this is a great autobiographical album. Plus, I believe this was Howie's last album. it's hard for me to pt them in order because my rating will change with my mood.

I've only heard about half of them, so I can't rate, but I really really like Last DJ and Echo. I'm surprised you rated them so low.

I'm with you, Jason. Those are very good albums. I particularly enjoyed Echo.

I did get the chance to hear "Echo" last week. I do like it, after giving it another chance.
