But things turned out great: Petty burst on the scene as it was splitting into two camps (rock and punk) and somehow managed to please both with his whiny sneer and taut, jangly guitars.

Petty's approval rating soared through the packed rafters Tuesday as he and his band of Heartbreakers rocked the house during a rousing celebration of music that showed exactly why they were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year.
Petty is careful to deflate pretensions that often surround concept albums; he joked on the "Today" television show this month that listeners could still "dance around the house naked" to the songs.
