Agreed. I'd also uprate Mutations. Guero wasn't bad either, been a while since I played it though.

Why didn't Modern Guilt do as good as I thought it was last year? I am talking about critically. I personally think it was very good. as far as Beck and his albums, Odelay and Mutations are by far his best.

Have you guys got his latest Record Club albums? He did The Velvet Underground & Nico plus Songs of Leonard Cohen. Now he is doing an album by Skip Spence with Feist and Wilco.

Beck, Feist, and Wilco people! I have never heard of Skip Spence but I'm sure this cover will be good. If anyone wants the Record Club albums, let me know...

I think MV gets the worst rap of all and I don't know why. I think if it was release by anyone else it would have been acclimed at a mor regular clip.

Listened to Guero for the first time last night, thought it was pretty great. Second or third favourite Beck album, depending on my mood.

I'm sortof a youngster so my first real introduction to Beck was with Guero. It's still a fantastic record, probably in the top 3 after Odelay and Mellow Gold. I was at the record store back in 2005 with $18 and I chose Bloc Party's first record over Guero, then downloaded it when I got home and listened to them both back to back. I'm still kicking myself over it.

Mutations is a brilliant album, my second favourite after Sea Change. I'm more a fan of mellow Beck than the more funky post-modern stuff, he can write some really sad and beautiful songs. One Foot In The Grave also deserves a mention here.

I like Beck, my favourite albums of his are probably Odelay or Midnite Vultures.

Mutations for me, is Beck's best album but that seems to be an unpopular opinion. Cold Brains, Lazy Flies, We Live Again, Tropicalia and O Maria are all perfect.

I only have Odelay from Beck mainly because of New Pollution and believe it or not, Jack Ass. What do you think was the song that properl Beck into the mainstream?
