Mellow Gold didn't come out until a year after Kurt died.. you must be mistaken.

Still sad though, the song does remind me of Kurt often. :(

i think if you think loser is beck's best, than you have missed something major. just my opinion.

Blind Melon

Yeah, Odelay is pretty much known as his best... as for my favorite, it'd go to Mutations. I love that album. So folky and just laid back.

People like you make me sick. I hope you are joking. Open up a little bit. THis album is one of his best. No other artist that I know of puts out 6 albums of amazing music in a row like beck has. He has no weakness. How many of pearl jams last 6 albums have been amazing? Pearl Jam is my fav band and I can still say that Riot Act pretty much sucked. Give beck another listen.

kdpjam

he is consistently inventive! and he's got soul. i'm jammin' out to strange apparition now.

All 6.

But I agree with your point the Beck is infallable. He should be Pope.

Regarding this new album....
....it was my first listening of Beck at all, yesterday night.
I was in a car, playing chess with my girlfriend and put the fresh copy of the album in a cd player. It was playing in the background during the hours of chess, and was quiet pleased to hearing Beck.

Nice sounds.

i will say though, an underated Beck song off of Mellow Gold is "Beer Can." That song is amazing. In hindsight you can really tell where he was going w/his sound from that early song.

When I saw him in 2000 on the Midnite Vultures tour, he busted that out in the encore, I was so surprised, I was like "YEEEAAHHHH!!!"

I still think Mellow Gold is a good album, Soul Suckin Jerk is one of my favorite Beck songs. The first time I heard Pay No Mind, I was laughing so hard, with lyrics about toilets overflowing and manure, etc.

so ahead of his time. definitely my fav solo artist of the past 15 years.

^^ Yeah Mellow Gold is terrific but you can't put it past any of his other records.

How about when Beck busted into "one foot in the grave" on SnL the other night. In '97 at Edgefest in Summerset, Wisc. I yelled for OFITG and actually got it. They must have heard me. Then after the show I got drunk and stoned at the campsite and made out with my hot ass girlfriend at the time. Where have the good times gone?

Have you heard the Beercan maxi-single?

It has the alternate version of Pay no Mind called "Got no Mind" I love that version.
