If we’re just counting his solo output (meaning his stuff and his stuff with the Heartbreakers, but not anything like with the Wilburys or live recordings) my top 5 for Tom looks something like:

1. Into The Great Wide Open
2. I Won’t Back Down
3. Learning To Fly
4. American Girl
5. Wildflowers

[GeekSportsFan]

1) Listen to Her Heart
2) American Girl
3) Rockin' Around With You
4) Louisiana Rain

the story behind Wildflowers is crazy. He was told to write a hit song to put on his greatest hits album and wrote it. Can you imagine having that kind of talent?

 

[Myles]

Too tough for me. I really like most of his stuff.

Mary Jane's Last Dance
Refugee
The Waiting
You Got Lucky
Wildflowers
You Wreck Me
Yer So BAd
I Need to Know
Time to Move On
I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better

You Got Lucky
Refugee
Woman in Love

Petty and the HBers were a hit machine.

Mike Campbell is a severely underrated guitarist.
