Yeah, but you don't like Johnny Cash either, so...
Wasn’t he the roadie for Kiss?

What’s a song by a band that you’re not really into that just hits you?
My wife is a huge Fleetwood Mac gal, and for the most part I just grin an’ bear it until “Dreams” comes on. Like, I don’t know if there has ever been a more poignant song ever, equal to it sure, but... damn, it’s pretty much a perfect song.
Please post a link to your “exception”.
.....a little less so his version of "Blinded by the Light", it's OK, but Manfred Mann's version is the definitive one for me.
Tom Petty is EASILY one of the best songwriters America has ever produced, *Rock or otherwise*, but when you're listening to EVH, Vai, Jeff Beck, Santana, DiMeola, Holdsworth, ... the Heartbreakers just didn't make my hairs stand up.
Mike Campbell may not be as technically proficient as some of these other guys, but he is a wonderful guitar player. In fact, Mike Campbell is one of my all-time favorite players. He's not flashy, but he knows how to play for the song.
He is easily the best part of Tom Petty.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are one of the greatest American Rock & Roll bands of all times. Certainly in the Top 5

I saw a video of him when he got tapped for Fleetwood Mac and found it interesting (although totally understandable) that he found playing Dreams as the hardest song for him.

same tom petty that wrote ‘breakdown’? great band but great writing? i don’t know, most of the songs seem to be about nothing.
never heard a pretenders record all the way through, because ‘talk of the town’ was on it.
Well, this one is for Bodia. I play music all the time at work, but at low volume. Usually Ozzie's Boneyard on my Alexa dot thing my daughter got me for Christmas. But working from home means playing music all day from my old music ipad. Today after a couple Yes albums, I was down near the bottom of the alphabet on my list and there was Winger. When Poison Angel came on, I literally got up and danced for about 60 seconds. My golden retriever thought I was playing with him and started jumping on me, so I had to stop. But it was a Bodia inspired moment!
And, it goes without saying, that I "air guitar'd" the solos to Madelaine and Seventeen!
Rebd Beach is an underrated guitarist. And I'll say it - I like Winger.

Picked this up a while ago, but I'm still working my way towards listening to it.
Reb is a great player!
And I don't mind at all saying it, "I LIKE WINGER!"

Bah! Petty was the best part of that band, however, Mike Campbell is a wonderful, tasty, restrained player who always comes up with the right part!
I’ve never seen a post that I simultaneously liked (the first part) and disliked (the last part) more.
Nope. I’ll say it again tomorrow.april fools?
A lot of people loved the whole band but I have to agree with Les, good guitar player, but aside from that it was Tom. TBH I kinda consider him a solo artist, don't dislike his band, just was into heavier stuff.
