Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

More than any other ’70s rocker, Petty has stayed relevant while barely changing—a straight-to-the-gut consistency that resides not just in the rebel poet’s sweep of his songs but in the compact, hard-driving sound of the stalwart Heartbreakers. His 2014 release Hypnotic Eye is their 13th album together, and it surges with as much garage-rock attitude as the group’s earliest work.
