Cast your vote in our weekly poll

This week Bob Dylan releases Tempest. It's the 35th album he's made during his 50-year recording career. That's a remarkable achievement, and it makes picking his single best album a huge challenge – but we think you guys are up for it.

What's your single favorite Bob Dylan album? Don't be afraid to be idiosyncratic here. There's a huge Street Legal cult out there. Let your voices be heard. Some people swear by Desire, while the religious faithful (as well as some nonbelievers) worship  Slow Train Coming. The folk purists say it never got better than The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, while the politically minded love The Times They Are-A Changin'. Simply put, there's a Dylan album for almost everybody (though we don't wanna meet the guy who thinks Knocked Out Loaded speaks for him).

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
