Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits

Years later after they hit the top of the world's rock charts, they still evoke a sense of movement, or glimpses of life flashing past a car window. These inspired songs about life's thin spaces roll up in easy beats, fusing rock 'n roll recklessness and real originality, polished to a sheen by the years of touring.

The rest of the collection is accomplished stuff, but lacks their hit songs' simple clarity. In the age of MP3 players, and random track lists, most of this CD's got "SKIP" written all over it. It's at best solid and - at it's worst - awkwardly dated.
