Top 5 Ranking Albums Of Tom Petty

One of the best American songwriters is Tom Petty. Petty had a seemingly effortless talent for writing songs that you knew from childhood but still wanted to repeat over and over. He was a numinous genius who wrote everything from “You Don’t Know How It Feels” to “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.”

But one could question which of his many albums, some of which date back to 1976, are the very finest. Which albums are the finest to suggest for music fans who are just discovering Tom Petty or those who want to dive into the cream of the crop?

There are many options for Petty, who gained fame with his band The Heartbreakers and also enjoyed successful years as a solo artist and with the supergroup the Travelling Wilburys. The top 5 Tom Petty albums are listed below.
