Hard to take a song away from the person who wrote it, its rare that a cover is better than the original.
John Mayer is a rising star but Tom Petty has long since established himself as a legend.

Tom Petty is the best, John Mayer's version is good but it's easier to sing along with Petty's.

John Mayer is the Steven Bishop of his time. Stick with the original.

TOM PETTY.
I think John Mayer totally messed it up.
His voice doesn't fit the song.

I don't think that JM has a musical right to perform that song. Ick. Thanks, John, for taking out all the grit and passion from life and distilling it into calm, smooth, unfeeling expressions.
