I think American Girl is in my top ten now because it took a while for me to love it. I didn't burn out on that one like some others.

You get three distinct Tom Petty voices to impersonate when singing along. And when Benmont really turns it on with the keys in the final verse it just really scratches where I itch. It might be my favorite overall too, definitely in the top handful.
I meant the last pre-chorus, not the last verse.
