What, no mention of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" ????

It's a cover and Jon Brion did all the music (at least, I think so) but damn if that isn't one of his best songs. :worship

Also I've always really liked "The Vagabond", the song he did with Air.

As for the new album, I'm especially digging the first two songs.

I could easily make another few lists. Beck's one of those artists who has my unconditional respect, even when he puts out a disc that I don't necessarily fully embrace (like The Information). Odelay will probably always find its way into my personal all-time top 10- definitely a watershed album in the formation of my musical consciousness. Not a single weak song on that album, and immaculate production and texture to tie it all together.

 

And if I want to get a party bumping, it's hard to beat Midnite Vultures, a disc that sounds exactly like the album art looks.
