Rating:  - Petty's Ambition
The run-of-the-mill Long After Dark was the first album from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers to garner a less than stellar reception.

The desire to create something outside the box was evident when the first single appeared. "Don't Come Around Here No More" twanged out with psychedelic sitars and a wild "Alice in ... Read More
Rating:  - be a rebel and buy this underrated album
Southern Accents is probably Tom Petty's most underrated album. What amazes me especially is how a song like "Don't Come Around Here No More" sounds totally different from anything else Petty has ever made, not to mention VERY freaky and haunting. On the flip side however, a song like "Rebels" is a lost gem. "Spike" is a very catchy song as well. An album that combines Petty's most memorable songwriting with his most underrated effort as far as radio exposure goes.
Rating:  - Not his Best

Rating: - Review with a Northern Accent
I'm a blue-blood New Englander to the core but I still love Southern Accents, because it is a quintessential American album.

Because I am a student of the Civil War, "Rebels" is one my favorite all-time songs and the best reason to buy this cd. How this masterpiece of songwriting didn't end up ... Read More
Rating: - not his best, but good
first off i would just tell you that tom petty and the heartbreakers are by far my favorite band ever and i think they are the greatest thing to ever happen to music. better then elvis, the beatles, dylan, the stones or anybody else i realize these artist have had a huge impact on music and petty as well but in my mind their is no one better then tom petty and the heartbreakers. having said that while this album is enjoyable i can not say it is his best in fact in my opinion it is probably his worst. ...
