Top 10 Albums of 1991:
2. "Into the Great Wide Open," Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers:
After a period of uncertainty, with Petty and his bandmates off doing all sorts of projects, the group reunited to create one of its finest albums. Petty continues to grow as a songwriter, with such gems as the title tune, a morality tale about being corrupted by stardom, and the cooly energertic "Learning to Fly."
