Tom Petty was one of the first catalogue journeys I did and still one of my favorites. It’s hard to think of another artist that so successfully balanced rock and pop into a digestible form without coming off as a total cheeseball. It’s not easy being both that catchy and that cool simultaneously.doug rr wrote:mods?dimejinky99 wrote:Tom petty is truly fucking awful. Abysmally awful in fact
Also, I really loved Purple and parts of both Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop and Core. Other than that, a few selected songs here and there. Greatness occasionally found him but was largely right on the tip of his tongue.VinylGuy wrote:I still think Scott Weiland was a true genius.
Don't worry, I banned him. Give him a few days to think about what he's done.doug rr wrote:mods?dimejinky99 wrote:Tom petty is truly fucking awful. Abysmally awful in fact
I love pretty much everything he did. Never listened to Velver Revolver or that other band he sang for....but besides that, his solo albums are masterpieces too for me.liebzz wrote:Also, I really loved Purple and parts of both Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop and Core.

When I was a teenager it was Pearl Jam, Nirvana and STP as the bands I cared about the most, but as time went on STP fell off a bit for me. Nirvana is also not as important to me but they more often find their way back to my rotation.VinylGuy wrote:I love pretty much everything he did.

And the STP catalogue with him is way up there.

They got pigeonholed differently, and to Scott's credit, I think he made a very conscious decision to turn away from a vocal style that was similar to Ed, and to instead find his own unique thing.dimejinky99 wrote:VinylGuy wrote:I love pretty much everything he did.

I was saying to a pal today how gifted he was but to start off with it was purely an EV imitation.
My pal said no other band of the era had such a quick and worthwhile progression by their third album. They went Bowie. That’s true.
It’s taken pj 11 albums to get to this point. And we’re not sure if they’ve succeeded.
