Top 10 Petty songs? Gee, asking for my top 10 Beatles songs would almost be easier. He was so consistent!

 

That said, whatever I post here would definitely be in my top ten if I took the time to curate it:

 

The Waiting

Don't Do Me Like That

Mary Jane's Last Dance

You Got Lucky

Breakdown

Refugee

Louisiana Rain

 

okay there's seven, everything else is somewhere between 8 and 10 :P

With how much music Tom Petty has, done, did, and released as a solo artist, and when he was in the band, and group the Heartbreakers, I think there are a lot of great songs to choose from for being able to put together a top ten list of them. Edited by Derek19

I don't have a Top 10 to list per se.

 

The songs on his 'Greatest Hits' album to me are great.

 

One favorite of mine is 'King of the Hill' that he co-wrote with Roger McGuinn.

 

Here's the

with the ride-out and the

What's interesting is that Tom ended up being a cartoon character on the television show 'King of the Hill'.
