Second place would be "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Stevie Nicks.
I only know of his hits, though. Haven't listened to albums straight through.
Check out Damn the Torpoedos. The whole album is excellent.

I have no idea how to choose a favorite, but I do love "Wildflowers", "Two Gunslingers", "Built to Last", "Zombie Zoo" and "Rockin Around (With You)".

My favorite Tom Petty song would have to be Runnin' Down a Dream, whenever I'm on the road someplace, that song is just one of the ones I want to be on the radio. It's just got that vibe, ya know?

I've always gotten a bad vibe from "Free Falling". The lyrics sound very dark to me, like it's from the point of view of an obsessed killer. Anyone else think that?

I want to say Petty talked about that in an interview.

"I Won't Back Down" is probably my favorite.

Same thing for me with the Police's Every Step You Take, which (in case you've been living under a rock) is about a stalker.

If ever a song made me feel young...... If ever a song made me feel happy.... If ever a song made me feel sad, in prideful way..... If ever a song.....said goodbye.....this one’s it.
