#795 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedos

What's the point of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? There's barely a memorable instrumental line on this whole ((curiously) well-regarded) album, with most of the melodic duties falling to a Petty himself, a singer best distinguished by wielding a nasal drone marginally better than Bob Dylan's. There's no genuine swagger, no legitimate toughness, nothing really exciting or vibrant about it past the first track, just perfectly ok songs about girls, solid songs about girls, at best, performed ably and sung poorly. I don't see the draw 2.5/5
