With the passing of Tom half of the Traveling Wilburys are gone.  R.I.P. Tom.
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses more; he who loses faith, loses all.

Tom put out some incredible music over the years. 
One of his best rockin songs is Out In The Cold from Into The Great Wide Open.  IMHO

What is your favorite Tom song?
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses more; he who loses faith, loses all.

"Refugee" is tops

. . . followed closely by "Stop Dragging my Heart Around" with Stevie Nicks

Here's another take on "Stop ..." by Joss Stone and Rob Thomas

You're So Bad

Great mix of Dylan and McGuinn - Tom blended it all so nicely

... What is your favorite Tom song?

I've gotta go with the song I referenced previously:  "Runnin' Down A Dream".  Guess I like the Petty-Lynne collaborations best...

Tom Petty, Jason Aldean and the Las vegas tragedy.  This could be the anthem song for this tragedy.
