Well done to Tony, Rich, Sheik Yerbouti, and Geoff, who all scored full marks in last week’s quiz (and everyone else did well too). Tony scored the fastest time.
This week you need to identify Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers studio albums – this excludes solo albums like Highway Companion (featured in the banner art).

I was at an advantage because I reviewed all of Petty’s albums lately – I scored 13/13 with 1:23 remaining.
How did you get on?

Oof. I only got 7. I don’t own all the albums so there was me guessing…
I should try an artist I don’t know next time, and see how it goes.
Well, I mean, I know Tom Petty but not owning all of the albums made it hard to know some of the cover art, so maybe there’s a middle ground there. But it is a cool idea to have it be harder… you could go right into something you don’t know at all and try it. Still could be fun!
At last! All 13.
Great work – full marks!
I know all 13 of these albums really well but due to multiple pop-up ads throwing me off my game I clicked on the wrong cover once and ended up with 12/13.
Yes, popups are annoying sometimes.
I’ll recuse myself from this one. I liked Petty quite a bit but oddly he was always what I call a “radio guy” for me. Always listened to him but own maybe one album.
I think the 2000 Anthology is his best work, but Wildflowers from 1994 is a pretty good studio album,
Didn’t they release a box set recently?
There was a boxset of live takes, outtakes, and alternative versions in 2018 called An American Treasure. Seems like a hardcore fan thing to mes. The boxset from the 1990s, Playback, has a disc or two of outtakes as well.
Maybe I was thinking of ‘Treasure.’
13/13 with 55 to go…had to leave one for last.
I think the last two (Mojo and Hypnotic Eye) are the toughest.
Hypnotic Eye I knew…Mojo I left for the last pick…I kept going to the next one when Mojo came up
I didn’t even try. Love the guy but never took the time past hearing him on the radio.
13/13 it helps that all but two of these are on my shelves
I assumed you’d ace this one.
I know Petty, but not his album covers. I did a horrific 7/13 as I just started clicking cause I was so ticked I was missing them.
Good effort – I think Aaron was in the same boat as you and got the same score.
9 of 13 – was familiar with the earlier albums but not so much the newer ones so missed a few guessing. Hypnotic Eye seemed to fit the cover design so that was one correct guess!
One thing I found when listening to his full discography was that Echo from 1999 is really strong. I’d been sleeping on it for ages. Good work figuring out Hypnotic Eye.
