Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers patří k ikonám amerického rockového mainstreamu od druhé poloviny 70. let. Kapela z floridského Gainesvillu se proslavila melodickým rockem s prvky folku a country.
Kompilace Anthology: Through The Years na 2 CD zachycuje jejich tvorbu od debutu (1976) až po počátek 90. let. Najdete zde skladby jako American Girl, Refugee, The Waiting, Don't Come Around Here No More nebo sólové úspěchy Toma Pettyho Free Fallin', I Won't Back Down a Runnin' Down a Dream. Nechybí ani duet se Stevie Nicks Stop Draggin' My Heart Around či živá coververze So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star. Album přináší přehled klíčových písní z jejich prvních patnácti let existence.
V době vzniku nahrávek tvořili kapelu Tom Petty (zpěv, kytara), Mike Campbell (kytara), Benmont Tench (klávesy), Ron Blair / Howie Epstein (baskytara) a Stan Lynch (bicí).
