Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks

This is a song that has been massively and continuously overplayed on a number of different radio formats, from rock to top 40 to adult. But for me it never gets old. It's that good a song. Really simple construction. Contrasts two distinctive rock vocal styles, with some great unconventional harmonies. And the instrumentation perfectly blends keyboard and guitar work, as in all of the best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' work, a band that was turning out the best rock and roll in America in the late 70s and early 80s.
