SAN DIEGO, CA - AUGUST 03: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers kick off their summer 2014 tour in support of their latest album 'Hypnotic Eye' at Viejas Arena on August 3, 2014 in San Diego, California.

Tom Petty will forever be lauded for his stellar catalog, but he might also be one of the most underrated video artists of all time.

Whether it was a performance video or a clip that followed a specific narrative, Petty was able to make visual magic the same way he could in the recording studio. As we mourn the loss of another rock and roll legend, here are eight iconic videos from Petty’s career.

 

“Stop Dragging My Heart Around”

Few duets were quite as cool as this one.

 

“Don’t Come Around Here No More”

We’re sure Lewis Carroll would approve of this strange video.
