The Last DJ

The Last DJ is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The title track, "Money Becomes King", "Joe" and "Can't Stop the Sun" are all critical of greed in the music industry, which led to a song boycott by some radio stations.

Reception
According to review aggregator Metacritic, The Last DJ received "generally favorable reviews", with a 61 out of 100 score based on 14 critic reviews. In a positive review, Marc Weingarten of Entertainment Weekly called the album's tracks "about as entertaining as polemical pop music can be." In a more mixed review, Greg Kot of Rolling Stone described Petty's lyrics as petulant and the album as "a loosely constructed concept piece about how much the music industry sucks." ==Track listing==
