I'm a huge Tom Petty fan, so I'll list a few that aren't necessarily in his greatest hits catalogs (at least in their studio versions):
Tom Petty
Melinda
It's Good to be King (from the live Anthology - 12 minute version)
Honey Bee
To Find a Friend
Something Good Coming
Christmas All Over Again
I could go on forever with Petty/Wilburys/Mudcrutch, but if you're looking for a bit of a deeper cut, definitely check out Melinda and SNL performance of Honey Bee with Dave Grohl on drums.
Built To Spill
I Would Hurt a Fly
Big Dipper
Goin' Against Your Mind
Mess With Time
Car
Time Trap
I was going to try and do Built to Spill but I can't leave a song off from Perfect From Now On. That whole album is too perfect to be seperated.

Here are today’s 6, and tomorrow the list would be different
Diamonds on my windshield (early years version)
Old shoes (picture postcards) (also early years version)
Tom Traubert’s Blues
Nobody
Alice
What’s He Building?
Impossible task
** Hm. Tomorrow’s list might be

Tango Till They’re Sore
Innocent When You Dream
Misery is the River of the World
