![]() ![]() Even if there's a pretty sizable gap between Petty's first tier of material and his second tier of material, his second tier is astonishingly large, and I mean that as a compliment there are few songs associated with him that I would classify as bad or that would make me go "ehn, I don't really feel like listening to this now." Very few of his albums strike me as amazing (my opinions on Petty are fairly conventional I'm not going to be the guy clever enough to randomly name Hard Promises as his best album or anything), but apart from some fairly predictable lapses in judgement in the middle of his career and a fairly predictable dip near the end (and even then the dip is almost negligible), his albums are strikingly consistent, with a small handful of great songs and a whole bunch of songs in the B or B+ range. Eventually, though, I found that his albums have a lot to offer beyond the hits, even if I tend to think that his hits rank among his very best songs.
