Poll question: What is the next Tom Petty song to be bastardized by easy-listening/AC artists, and by whom?
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 10:28 AM by PeterU
Now that John Mayer has put his yawnish spin on "Free Fallin'", what is the next Tom Petty tune to fall victim to the talons of synthesizers and hushed tones?
