But then, it's pretty well established that you and I have greatly different tastes and opinions regarding music.

I love both albums. "Into the Great Wide Open" is just classically great Petty and "Let Me Up" stands as the one time Petty and the boys really experimented with their sound, and though it was not really a successful departure, I still think the result was greatness typical of Petty.

I think we probably like a lot of the same things too though.
I do adore Petty, and I love all his albums. Into The Great Wide Open and Let Me Up I've Had Enough are just my least faves.

I"m not wild about Full Moon Fever, but it's okay. Also, this guy who was my friend and then I dated - he's a drummer but a guitar player, too, and everytime we were all hanging out late, late, and people would be all "play a song!" he'd do "Yer So Bad", which I didn't love in the first place (except the chorus, the chorus is rad, okay and the lyrics are great, but...). So I'm pretty sick of that particular song. He's really good at singing/guitar playing SDMH with me, though! I guess he's my very own Tom Petty.
The general note scheme of many FMF songs doesn't appeal to me, it's the flatter tones rather than the more minor/passionate sounding ones.
Obviously, though, it's still good. And I think Into the Great Wide Open is a good song, though I'm not very familiar with the whole album.
