Actually, I am stunned That he has just become eligible. It seems like he has been putting out hits longer than 25 years. Definately deserves it.

Elena,

Tom Petty is already in with the Heartbreakers, And all three of his solo albums (Full Moon Fever,Wildflowers and Highway Companion) feature musical assistance from one or more of the Heartbreakers.

Tom Petty is a Rock N Roll legend!! Why isn't he in the Hall of Fame yet??? I see so many icon bands, that aren't in there yet.... They should have been in there by now.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are in the HoF. This page is for Tom Petty's work without the Heartbreakers.

Outstanding songwriter and some of his best work was written as a solo artist.
