Tom Petty announced plans for a summer theater tour this week. It's a nice chance for him to break free from the standard greatest-hits arena shows, and fans are overjoyed at the prospect of hearing some deep cuts. "This is a good thing to do every now and then," he told Rolling Stone. "It gets the band members in tune with each other in a way that you don't get on a big tour. There's a different challenge than you're used to. We got together the other night, the band and I, and everybody is up for this. There's no telling what we'll do."

Now we have a question for you: What is your favorite Tom Petty album? Are you into classics like Damn the Torpedoes and Full Moon Fever, or do you favor more overlooked work like Echo and the She's the One soundtrack? You might even be one of the few to love Let Me Up (I've Had Enough). Vote for whatever you want, but please vote once and only for a single album.

“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."
