Damn the Torpedoes is an album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released in 1979 (see 1979 in music).
Their old label, Shelter Records, had been sold to MCA; Petty struggled to legally detach himself from MCA, but in the end was forced to settle.
Damn the Torpedoes ended up being the band's breakthrough hit, and includes many of their best reviewed songs and favorite concert standards today, including "Here Comes My Girl" and "A Shadow of Doubt (A Complex Kid)".

 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes (1979)
Even The Losers Another one of Damn the Torpedoes' songs that filled with a sense of defiance and strength, "Even the Losers" belies the uncertainty of the band at this stage.
Yet there are purpose and passion behind the performances that makes Damn the Torpedoes an invigorating listen all the same.
Few mainstream rock albums of the late '70s and early '80s were quite as strong as this, and it still stands as one of the great records of the album rock era.

 Damn the torpedoes (BONEHEADED TOM PETTY ALERT)
"Damn the Torpedos" is a killer LP but it's nearly half a lifetime ago.

His first three albums - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, You're Gonna Get it, and Damn the Torpedos - are by far the best in his catalogue....3 great rock albums.

December 05, 2003 08:08 AM In my book, skipping songs is a no-no on almost all Petty albums but Damn the Torpedoes is clearly one of the masterpieces among masterpieces!
Unfortunately Damn The Torpedoes is one that I don’t have yet.
I do have the vinyl record though… but its trapped under some stairs going to my basement, probably warped to death, hasn’t been played for over 20 years, and I don’t have a record player to play it..

It is frustrating the assault a ship successfully and then the torpedo continues to travel past the ship on its merry way!
Hi TedK, my understanding is that it is usually the DP of the ship at fault, the damage boxes are often too small and you need to hit the ship dead centre to do any damage.
