View Full Version : Favorite Tom Petty song
Hey Y'all,
What would be your favorite Tom Petty song? If your favorite isn't listed pick other and let us all know your choice. :)
80sTrivia 3-13-02, 11:58 AM I voted "other", Trix, as my fave Tom Petty song is "Learning to Fly". But "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "Freefalling" are good as well! :)
Caligula 3-13-02, 12:06 PM I chose Free Fallin, but Tom Petty is one of my altime favorites right back from 79 with the release of Damn the TorpedoLs. So many of his songs I really like, hard to choose a favorite
Jughead Jones 3-13-02, 12:29 PM I voted for "Don't Come Around Here No More" just on the sole basis of it having a cool video.
My favourite song of all time would have to be "Mary Jane's Last Dance" though, but since it's not '80's, I declined to vote Other.:p
Roemello 3-13-02, 12:58 PM Outta those, gotta go with 'Free Fallin' :cool:
djdaffy1227 3-13-02, 02:19 PM I went with "You got lucky". It was the first video I ever saw on MTV, so it kind of brings back memories. I love all his songs, so it was a tough call. "Jammin' me" was a very close second...another great video.
Had to vote for "Don't Come Around Hers No More"
I'm with DJDaffy on this one.;) I voted for "You Got Lucky", and I remember the video for this one so well too.
Christine 3-13-02, 05:24 PM My vote goes to "Free Fallin'". I love that song. :thumb:
Ted Nugent 3-13-02, 05:44 PM "You got lucky" is my favorite. :) "Into the great wide open" a close second.
fiya kraka 3-13-02, 05:47 PM and I'm freeeeee.......free falling:thumb:
I love a lot of his songs! Tom Petty is one of my faves from the 80's:D
Iluvthe80s 3-13-02, 05:47 PM My favorite is a song called "Change Of Heart". It is on the "Long After Dark" LP.
Mine is "Angel No. 2" from the She's the One soundtrack. Or is it "Angel No. 4?" Anyway, the acoustic one. I only have it on a mix tape.
I like all the other songs in the poll, though. I especially loved the video to "Free Fallin'" because I was so very into skaters at the age of 14. Couldn't even stand up on a skateboard... but drooled over them anyway.
Yes, guys, it was working on *somebody!* Hehe.
I wanted to vote "Learning to Fly" but I figured you didn't include it because it was a 90s song so I voted "Running down a dream" all though "Don't come around here no more" was a close second.
Nikki_91 3-13-02, 07:34 PM This was definitely one of the hardest polls for me so far. I like all these songs. I actually had to stop and think about this. So, anyway, I choose "Jammin' me"..that has to be my favorite.
Out of the list.. I had to pick "Free Fallin" .... But my favorite is "Stop Dragging My Heart Around (with Stevie Nicks) and more recently.. and please don't throw anything at me..I'm allergic to tomatoes... I happen to like " Mary Jane's Last Dance" .. HEY, It's still Tom!! :p :p
Roemello 3-26-02, 02:31 PM Bumping this up since it was duplicated :cool:
Steve Savicki 4-12-02, 05:33 PM "Refugee" is the only choice even thought all of "Damn The Torpedos" (http://www.cdnow.com/from=sr-181894/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1156010747/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/artistid=PETTY*TOM/itemid=26829) was great.
Greenway88 4-13-02, 07:46 AM I Won't Back Down
ImSoooSure 4-13-02, 10:38 PM Free Falling. Ever since I saw Tom Cruise Singing it in the car in Jerry MacGuire I have LOVED that song!

80sSmurf 4-14-02, 12:17 PM I voted Other....My vote goes to "Learning to fly" ...What can I say, great tune, great video :thumb:
Don't Do Me Like That
I think Tom Petty may have 4 songs I like...if! I don't know why. And that Travelling Wilburys stuff!! I'd rather have root canal!! Ugh!! :lol:
I chose "You Got Lucky". However, "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "Won't Back Down" tied for second.
I voted with the majority here. I voted for Free Fallin'
Femmetal 6-09-02, 02:46 AM I love Tom Petty! Voted for I Won't Back Down, but enjoy all his songs.
Prefab Sprouter 6-10-02, 05:24 AM "Dont come aournd here no more" Great Song; Cool Video!
I voted - Free Fallin' :)
BlitzKid 6-10-02, 06:34 AM I always liked Free Fallin' best. Don't come around here no more on second place.
whistledog 9-19-04, 09:07 PM Damn Those Torpedos! Don't Do Me Like That was indeed super catchy :thumb:
ElectricYouth 9-19-04, 11:04 PM I went for "Don't Come Around Here No More"... it's got that creepy quality, and I loved the video too.
stlkev70 9-19-04, 11:07 PM "Running Down A Dream" was my vote. Loved the video.
nolanbuc 9-19-04, 11:56 PM Had to give the nod to "Don't Do Me Like That", with "Refuge" a close second. I'm kinda surprised "Refuge" didn't get more votes, it was a huge song for Petty back in the day.
Running down a dream has always been a favorite of mine!
bookmistres4ever 9-23-04, 03:11 AM I really loved "You got lucky". The video for "Last dance with Mary Jane" was pretty creepy but I really liked it too. It had Michelle Pheiffer in it (I think) playing a corpse that Tom Petty danced around with. Morbid but different. :lol:

BCRichRocker4JC 9-23-04, 01:59 PM Jammin' me for nostalgic purposes as I never was really a big Petty fan.
resinchaser 9-23-04, 06:01 PM Runnin Down A Dream. Great driving song :thumb:
DJ Midas 9-24-04, 12:03 AM "Refugee"
Christine 5-27-05, 08:46 PM I orginally said "Free Fallin", but I would definitely change that to "American Girl", "You Don't Know How It Feels" or "The Waiting" - great songs!
fungirl3 5-28-05, 02:55 AM I chose other... I LOVE Tom Petty!! Even though I'll always picture him in a big purple top hat, Even the Losers get lucky sometimes...
Mary Jane's Last Dance?
(Yay, 5/25 Tom Petty@Darien Lake!!!!)
Good Vibes 5-28-05, 04:00 AM Free Fallin'. The video didn't hurt either!
:thumb:
Tanya1976 5-28-05, 04:42 PM I'm freeeeee....freefalling!
Most definitely! My second choice would be "You Don't Know How It Feels".

Don't Come 'Round Here No More
I loved the video rferences to Alice in Wonderland, very cool, especially when Alice was the cake,.
80's fanatic 9-09-05, 11:44 PM 'Don't Do Me like That' is my fav :)
frothy latte 10-11-05, 03:45 PM I Won't Back Down
Lyverbe 10-20-05, 08:16 AM I voted for "You got lucky". Tom Petty is an artist I don't really know well, but I really like his music style.
