9-1 Townsend. And the vote for Petty is for pity alone -- they are OK, but nothing comes close to the Who.

I like all 20 songs below. Every single one.

"My Generation" vs. "Breakdown (Live)"
--Who.

"Won't Get Fooled Again " vs. "You Got Lucky”
--Who

"Behind Blue Eyes" vs. "Don't Come Around Here No More"
--Hmmm. Tie?

"Baba O'Reilly" vs. "Listen to Her Heart"
--Sick of the former, and this contest has made the latter grow on me. Still, have to go with the Who.

"Pinball Wizard" vs. "Don't Do Me Like That"
--PW was never my favorite ... tie.

"Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" vs. "Thing About You"
--I'll give this one to Petty by a hair. Both killer songs.

"Can't Explain" vs. "American Girl"
--Keith Moon really makes this one go. Who

"Love Reign O'er Me" vs. "Here Comes My Girl"
--Who.

"The Punk and The Godfather" vs. "Refugee"
--I love "Punk" and doesn't he 'Meet" the Godfather? Anyway, should be as big as "Fooled Again" but isn't. Who.

"Amazing Journey" vs. "The Waiting"
--Petty pulls out one.

Who 7, Petty & Heartbreakers 3 (edited because I hadn't decided on PW)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are like Kevin Bacon in Animal House - "Thank you sir, may I have another!" More Heartsbroken than Heartbreakers.

8 to 2 for the 'orrible 'oo

I like TP and The Who has a much more limited catalog than their status/longevity suggests. But, while a few different choices and/or orders could have made it closer, at their best Pete & the boys were among the best around.
