I like this! I know a lot of these albums but need to explore more of the deep tracks. An original and inspired list!

Definitely going to be re-listening to these albums for these tracks. Except for Hard Promises. I mean, I WILL re-listen to it, but not to “re-discover” Insider. I love that song and it is, hands down, my favorite Petty/Nicks duet. Great topic, great list!

Oh, and you are soooo right: that “I’m the one you couldn’t love” line gets me every time.

It’s perfect. I love Petty and “Insider” is a top 5 of his for me.

I have to admit that I’m not super familiar with most of these songs. This lists gives me some “new” old songs to explore. I love the idea of this list… and can’t wait to see what lists you come up with in the future!

Brillant! I look forward to listening. Remember Big Country? And a band called…. I think … The Chameleons?

There will be a Big Country post, I’m sure.

Dedication! *flails wildly*

Of the rest of this list, I only really know Beautiful Ones. New stuff to listen to!

Having read and enjoyed your posts, I think you’ll really like that Elton John deep cut.

I did! I keep promising myself that I'll go and listen to his albums in full and I keep falling short of that goal. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

We're legion! He's had to add it to all his solo shows because everyone always asks for it.
