BQ: Favourite song by each artist? BQ: Forrest Gump, Philadelphia or Larry Crowne? I don't ask this because they're all Tom Hanks' movies. I'm asking because, ironically; - Bob Seger - Against the Wind was featured in Forrest Gump - Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia was featured in Philadelphia - Tom Petty - Running Down a Dream was featured in Larry Crowne. I guess Tom Hanks is a Heartland Rock fan.

My mum has never heard of him, says that shes likes stevie nicks but has never heard of tom petty My dad laughs at the lyrics of 'anything thats rock n roll' but says hes good Is he a good musician? I have a greatest hits cd but what is a good album of his

A) His solo works B) His work with The Heartbreakers C) His work with The Traveling Wilburys He has one of the most haunting voices of rock IMO. Please list a favorite song or two from any of the above. Thanks for answering my question! :)

Let's just get there

both have very distinctive, instantly recogniseable (though not particularly great) singing voices. Who do you think sings better? Don't Do Me Like That vs In The City Refugee vs Pretty Maids All In A Row The Waiting vs Rocky Mountain Way not the better song, who has the better voice?
