On this month\\u2019s Hit Parade, we track the surprising parallels between two artists gone far too soon: from their fights with the music industry to their hits across genres and generations\\u2014and even the songs they gave to Stevie Nicks. Petty and Prince were category-defying, label-infuriating, and among the best pop songwriters of the late 20th century.\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
