Believe it or not, it’s been five years since Tom Petty died. It just seems like yesterday, doesn’t it? I never spoke to the man, but I did see him live a couple of times, and he did not disappoint. And he certainly had more than his share of hits — take a glance at his catalog and you’ll be struck by the sheer number of songs you know, recognize and love. I suspect you might hear a few of them today — especially if you push play on the YouTube link below. While you enjoy that, peruse this list of 340 new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week.
