A little Carlos for Carlo and the Bruins.

Petty's "Buried Treasure" show on Sirius will forever be a must listen. The breadth and depth of his historical music knowledge is unparalleled.

 

[BradPark22]

Lol at him being the greatest American songwriter

Stevie Wonder
Paul Simon
Joni Mitchell
Carol King/Goffin
Dylan

All have him beat. If I get into Motown,Blues or even Broadway/Showtunes he's even further down the list.

Joni is a Canadian. And i had lunch with her once, so.

 

[Wiggleboom]

Love it! I’ve been listening to him a lot the last 2 weeks on Spotify.

 

[BruinDust]

Mary Jane's Last Dance and Running Down a Dream are my two favorite Petty songs.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Jealous... she’s awesome

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I’m clearly the greatest Canadian songwriter ever. Mitchell and Cohen are my two closest competitors.

Jealous... she’s awesome

she's friends with one of my highschool teachers and me and a buddy were having lunch and spotted teach with somebody familiar. no one else in the place so they invited us to join them. I don't really remember much. I was in awe of having a reuben across from the woman "Going to California" was written about.

i won't argue with you being in the top 3, i may dispute the order a little. Also, how much talent has Canada produced that Neil doesn't make the top 3?

Joni Mitchell's Canadian. along with other candidates like Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot and Gord Downie.

Tom Waits, Bobbie Gentry and Lou Reed are up there.

[Mad-Marcus]

Tom Petty's - Won't Back Down, from the America - A Tribute to Hero's 9/11 concert is still one of my top live performances, in person or on film that I've ever seen. Hard to watch without getting emotional. The look in his eyes, through the entire performance spoke of our resolve in those times.

 

[MJR BBB65]

Couple of my favorites Into the Great Wide Open and You got Lucky. Also, another great performance was when he and an all star cast of Jeff Lynn and Prince performed While My Guitar Gently Weeps honoring George Harrison

 

[aguineapig]

Loved his covers, always remembered his roots and honored them. Paul Butterfield Blues Band cover

Peter Green and original Fleetwood Mac

And of course the Byrds and a Rickenbacker

 

[Blowfish]

After last night's game...

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Haha you we’re probably like, “This guy has a healthy ego.”

I am not the biggest fan by any means, but I’m glad you stuck “Learning to Fly” in as your #1. I’ve always really liked that song but didn’t think it would show up on a real fans list in the top spot for whatever reason.

On the other hand, I could never hear Free Fallin’ again and be a very happy man for it.

 

[Gator Mike]

Petty and most of the Heartbreakers are from Gainesville, FL, which is home to the University of Florida. They filmed a live concert at the school's basketball arena, and the band and Petty himself were big Gator fans.

A few days after his death, the school decided to play "I Won't Back Down" as a tribute to Petty after their traditional singing of "We Are the Boys" between the 3rd and 4th quarters of football games. It was originally supposed to be a one-time tribute, but the school quickly changed their minds and made it permanent.

I think it's one of college football's coolest new traditions:
