weighing up my recent obsession with Tom Petty

Pros -

1 - vaguely credible anti "greed in the music industry" stance
2 - really is very, very ugly
3 - good singing voice
4 - severals songs are incredibly catchy
5 - Was in the Wilburys and therefore worked with Bob Dylan

Cons -

1 - cheesy MOR backing vocals and keyboards
2 - worked with Jeff Lynne (see Con 1, and also Pro 4)
3 - strays into George Thorogood territory on some tracks and should give blues rock a miss
4 - all this happened fifteen years ago
5 - Was in the Wilburys and therefore worked with Roy Orbison

Result: Tie
