Quick Thoughts: A Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer, Tom Petty is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, a superband founded in the late 1980's. According to Petty, The Last DJ later was inspired by Los Angeles DJ Jim Ladd, one of the few notable remaining freefrom rock DJs in United States commercial radio. Freeform is a radio station programming format in which the disc jockey is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. This song comes from his 11th studio album of the same title.

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
