I would say She’s the One they play around with their sound quite a bit, The Last DJ is kind of all over the place, Echo is Tom Petty at his saddest and there’s some different and gloomy stuff there. Mojo is experimental for them in that they sound like a bar band taking on blues rock and it doesn’t sound like the rest of their catalogue. Their self-titled debut contains a sort of stylistic range that goes beyond those late 70s and 80s albums. You’ll never find them really doing anything avant- garde or way out of the box, but they certainly tinkered with their sound over the years enough to keep it interesting.
Don't Come Around Here No More is pretty out there if you think about it.

I still can't believe it was you two in the finals.

I forgot to mention Southern Accents. That is a different album as well.

I mean, no one probably ever asked what it would be like if Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were some bar blues band hanging out on Bleecker Street at Terra Blues or the Bitter End just playing to a 2 drink minimum with patrons at tables and chairs, but I am glad they answered that bell. Mike Campbell owns this record, and the band catches fire at quite a few spots. My only critique is I saw them on this tour and their shows were by the numbers and Tom Petty quite literally apologized for interrupting the hit parade to play 3 songs off this album and dutifully went back to the hits at MSG. Wasted opportunity for them to really go out and have some fun with this material live.
