wasted Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sea Change is good if you like the heartbreak songs. Lost Cause is very good song. Odelay was so fresh at the time.Mutations is probably his best album.Mellow Gold - good if you're drinking beer, unemployed, have a shitty job.Odelay - Is like a party record, dude.Mutations - Do you smoke?Midnight Vultures - Coke, Sex.Sea Change - Just got dumped.Guero - Not sure.The Information - work in a office?In Rainbows - Radiohead - is this good?

Gash Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I very much like, and duly respect Beck. Incredibly talented guy. Recommend him whole heartily. I'm going to listen to "Beercan" right now actually. Feels like my life sometimes :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetchild Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Go see him live if you have a chance. One of the funniest shows I've seen. He had a puppet show on stage, with puppets of each band member, and you could see them perform on the big screens instead of the real band. Than one of the puppets took a camera and walked on stage filming the show, so you could see the real band on the "puppetcam". Really original.And they filmed at the festival during the day, and played it before the encore:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG5w1tr2XVo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I fucking hate Beck. His music is so boring. When I saw him open for the Stones in '05, the reception was so negative he cut his set short by 20 mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Mellow Gold is a classic. It's funny how his song (Loser) that attacked apathetic youth became an anthem for apathetic youth. Sort of like Cobain's joke song about song writing became a smash hit. Loser was a hit on MTV but the bside was called MTV makes me wanna smoke crack. I love the lyrics to Sexx Laws, both hilarious, dirty and scary - ok that was three descriptive terms.Cant you hear those cavalry drumsHijacking your equilibriumMidnight hags in the mausoleumWhere the pixilated doctors moanCarnivores in the kowloon nightBreathing freon by the candlelightCoquettes bitch slap you so politeTill you thank themFor the tea and sympathyI want to defyThe logic of all sex lawsLet the handcuffs slip off your wristsIll let you be my chaperoneAt the halfway homeIm a full grown manBut Im not afraid to cryNeptunes lips taste like fermented winePerfumed blokes on the ginza lineRunning buck wild like a concubineWhos mother never held her handBrief encounters in mercedes benzWearing hepatitis contact lensBed and breakfast getaway weekendsWith sports illustrated momsI want to defyThe logic of all sex lawsLet the handcuffs slip off your wristsIll let you be my chaperoneAt the halfway homeIm a full grown manBut Im not afraid to cryYou can just put this song on repeat and listen to it a million times and each time it sounds better than the time before.Who the fuck is mick jagger?

Moop Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Beck's incredible. One of my all time fav artists. I can't say there's an album of his I don't like (although I'm not that big a fan of Sea Change). Top albums, imo would be the Information, Midnight Vultures and Mutations. Mellow Gold is also another great album. Not that big a fan of the latest Timebomb, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffrankwhite Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i like him but...seems to miss something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 He's not very agressive. Beck doesn't have many really bone crucnching songs. If a metal band covered Devil's Haircut maybe. He's sort of a hip-hop surrealist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
