My Take
Stan Lynch deserves far more credit than the casual listener gives him. As the original drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, he held down the rhythmic foundation of that band for eighteen years until 1994, and that kind of steady, decades-long contribution is the unglamorous backbone of great rock. What I admire most is his range: not just a drummer but a songwriter and producer too, someone equally comfortable behind the kit and behind the console. The musicians who quietly keep the heartbeat going while the frontman takes the light are exactly the ones I want to celebrate.
