Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever
This was the first musical artist I ever got into, if you don't count kids' music. And this was the first album. I put off getting it for so long because I started out with the greatest hits, then went for the anthology. But I saw it used a couple days ago and decided to go for it.
All the way through, I find songs beautiful and inspiring, catchy and dignified. They're incredibly evocative of feelings like the open road (Runnin Down a Dream), independent life (The Apartment Song), and putting one's foot down (I Won't Back Down). The subjective doesn't hurt, either; playing this cd brings back good memories from over a decade ago and enhances them. Not a single song on here is out of place or disposable. ***** out of 5.
