Tom Petty | zh
The Pettyfords were formed in the summer of 1996 by Roy Murakami, Cavan Nohara and Jeremy Rhode. Three bored high school kids with a passion for the same thing: Pop punk music. Countless hours were spent in drummer, Roy Murakami's, living room trying to fine tune some songs before the school year began. Lucky for the Pettyfords, Roy's parents were kind enough to let them practice there just as long as we cleaned the place up after we were finished. The band started out playing Screeching Weasel and Scared Of Chaka covers before diving into the depths of "ORIGINAL MUSIC"....

Tom Petty是美国本土摇滚乐（Heartland Rock）的代表人物之一，自从1976年，Tom Petty和他的乐队The Heartbreakers发行了首张同名专辑以来的三十多年中，他一直都是最受美国乐迷喜爱的摇滚艺人之一。
1979年，Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers的第3张专辑《Damn the Torpedoes》在商业成绩上实现了突破，高居Billboard专辑榜的亚军，它至今仍是Tom Petty在排行榜上成绩最好的一张专辑。1993年，Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers发行了他们的首张精选合辑《Greatest Hits》，对他们最走红的年代做了一次很好的总结，这张精选辑在美国成为了钻石唱片。
因为种种原因，在2002年的The Last DJ之后，Tom Petty没有再以The Heartbreakers的名义发行过专辑。2008年，Tom Petty重组了The Heartbreakers的前身乐队Mudcrutch并发行了一张同名专辑，而Mudcrutch的阵容实际上与The Heartbreakers几乎完全相同。
在领导和经营着The Heartbreakers的同时，Tom Petty还拓展着同样精彩成功的个人生涯并且经常与其它艺人展开合作。早在1981年，Tom Petty创作并与Fleetwood Mac的女主唱Stevie Nicks合唱的Stop Draggin' My Heart Around就获得了Billboard单曲榜的季军，这也是Tom Petty迄今为止打榜成绩最好的一支单曲。
1988年，Tom Petty和Bob Dylan、George Harrison、Roy Orbison和Jeff Lynne等摇滚巨匠一起组成了超级乐队Traveling Wilburys，并发行了2张颇为成功的专辑。1989年，Tom Petty发行了首张个人署名的专辑《Full Moon Fever》，这张专辑成为了他在商业上最成功的一张录音室专辑，销量达到了5白金。而事实上，Tom Petty在个人发展期间也一直没有与The Heartbreakers的队友们分开，在他已经发行过的3张个人专辑的制作中，The Heartbreakers的队友们始终从旁协助。
Tom Petty连同他的乐队至今已经在全球累计销售了6000万张专辑，其中绝大部分销量来自美国市场，因此他跻身于美国最畅销的乐队、艺人行列。Tom Petty在他的音乐生涯里，得到过很多次不同种类的奖项，包括15次Grammy奖的提名，其中3次获奖。
2002年，Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers入选了“摇滚名人堂（Rock and Roll Hall of Fame）”，那时他们刚刚具备入选资格不久。
