The 111 Best Beck Songs

  Why did Beck win album of the year over Beyonce? Let's start with the basics.  First, Beck and Beyonce both put out very good albums.  And in all honesty, Beyonce has the better album.  Personally, I prefer to listen to Beck's album but Beyonce's is still a triumphant piece of music.  I love Beck but this isn't his best album.  It doesn't even make my top five, which would be:
  1. Sea Change
  2. Midnight Vultures
  3. Odelay
  4. Modern Guilt
  5. Guero
I even prefer Beck's Record Club's full album cover of the Velvet Underground and Nico over Morning Phase.  So why did Beck's good but not great album beat out Beyonce's career-defining tour de force?  One reason: legacy. Sad but true, the Grammys are more about legacy and proficiency than what's trending.  It comes down to the voters.  Most of the voters are old school rockers.  So what's more appealing to an old school rocker who still spins vinyl because he never got into that CD craze:  a funk-dified bombastic sexual dance party or an intimate portrait of a man and his guitar?  Beck has been nominated a few times for album of the year.  It's just name recognition.  Ultimately, it doesn't mean anything. On Monday I may want to listen to Beck.  On Tuesday, Beyonce.  What I like at that moment has to do with the mood I am in, it has nothing to do with which album is a better piece of music.  The outrage over Beck's win from the media, to Twitter to Kanye is totally misplaced.  We shouldn't be mad at the voters for picking Beck.  We should be mad at ourselves for caring. That said...ahem...here's a list of the best Beck songs. Here are the 111 Best Songs By Beck:

The Unknown: Beck - Six Years

It's been six years since a proper Beck release.  Although there hasn't been an officially slated album, Beck has been rather busy over the past half decade putting out more material in just six years than he did in his previous 10 years.  Since 2008, Beck created his "Record Club" where he gave away five full length albums covering the likes of the Velvet Underground, Leonard Cohen, INXS, Skip Spence, and the legendary Yanni all for free.  He produced three albums for iconic artists Stephen Malkmus, Thurston Moore, and Charlotte Gainsbourg.  He also was the main songwriter behind Sex Bob-Omb, the fictional band from the cult classic film, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.  That's nine albums in six years.  But that's not all.  Beck's put out more than that.  He has soundtrack songs, B-sides, stand alone singles, duets, tributes, and compilation tracks, which come together to form a bonus never before heard album...until now.  In honor of Beck's formal return, here's a look back at what he's been doing up until now.
Beck - Six Years
  1. Bad Blood
  2. Ramona
  3. I Won't Be Long
  4. I Just Started Hating Some People Today
  5. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
  6. Defriended

The 11 Most Anticipated Albums of Spring 2012



Tebow nation is on fire.  Nothing will further propel his legendary status than throwing 316 in his upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.  But was it really an upset?  Was it really that surprising that Denver won?  I don't think so...in fact, I called it.  (I swear...you can ask the one friend I told they were going to win).  There's three things you have to take into account.  First of all, Tebow is not leading a 8-8 team.  He's QBing for a 7-4 team.  There were five games of the season where he wasn't playing.  Even if he only won two of those games, they'd be a 9-7 team.  A 9-7 team upsetting a 12-4 team isn't that big of a stretch...especially since they're playing at home (which is the second factor).  Thirdly, Pittsburgh was injured up the ass.  Literally...I read one of the defensive end injured his ass.  With Mendenhall out...Big Ben at about 50% and half the o/d lines riding the bench...the Steelers were not at full strength.  Denver beating Pittsburgh is a mild upset at best...it doesn't even compare to 7-9 Seattle's upset last year of defending Superbowl Champions New Orleans.  In football...any given Sunday...and team can win.

In music...any given Tuesday, an established vet can release a dud.  A has-been can make a comeback.  Or a new band could become a new trend-setter.  Who will make waves this year...that is something we've never been able to predict.

Here are the 11 Most Anticipated Albums of Spring 2012:

1.  Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band - TBA (May)
2.  Kanye West - G.O.O.D. Album (May)
3.  Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania (June)
4.  Madonna - Gimme All Your Luvin (April)
5.  Metric - Realities (May)
6.  Garbage - TBA (June)
7.  Mazzy Star - TBA (April)
8.  The Hives - TBA (May)
9.  K'naan - TBA (May)
10.  Beck & Dwight Yoakam - TBA (June)
11.  The Mars Volta - In Absentia (April)

The Unknown: Beck's Record Club (featuring MGMT) - Songs Of Leonard Cohen


This weekend my wife got in a fight with her best friend over text message. What was the fight about?...one of them didn't understand what the other said in her text. Then she, misinterpreted it...and instead of calling and figuring it all out...they preceded to snap back-and-forth at each other in text over their cellphones, whipping each other into a frenzy. At one point, my wife said she would never talk to her friend ever again. All over a misread text. Things are better now...they are BFFs again...but it just goes to show...though technology has changed our lives...we still go through all the same shit.

Here is Beck's Record Club (featuring MGMT) - Songs of Leonard Cohen

As each step of this list is being unveiled, I have to say...there was a lot of music this year I really enjoyed. Whether it was scrounging to find the unreleased Beck cover album...or the return of Franz Ferdninand...or the underrated ben gibbard/farrar duet, there was a bunch of music out there to get excited about. Two newcomers to watch...Cut Off Your Hands and Cage The Elephant...I have a feeling they will be on these lists for years to come.
Here are the 11 Best Albums of 2009: 23-33 (Part 3):

23. Cut Off Your Hands - You And I (Turn Cold)
24. JJ - JJ No 2

The 111 Best Albums of the 00s (1-11):

In creating the top 11, it really comes down to finding albums that weren't only great but also helped define the musical landscape of the decade. These ablums don't need a lot of explanation of why they were chosen. If you haven't heard these discs...then you likely were in a coma for the Bush years. It's only fitting in my opinion, that the most potent artist of this decade (Jay-z) opens the decade with the Blueprint...and closes it with the Blueprint 3.0. I've been racking my brain...trying to come up with something clever to say that sums up the decade musically...but when sitting down to finally write it...I think letting the music play...just speaks for itself.

NOW...it's your turn....

What are your top 11 albums of the 2000s???

The 111 Best Albums of the 00s (1-11):

  1. Jay-Z - The Blueprint (2001)
  2. The White Stripes - Elephant (2003) - Seven Nation Army
  3. Coldplay - Parachutes (2000) - Yellow
  4. Beck - Sea Change (2002) - Lost Cause
  5. Green Day - American Idiot (2004) - American Idiot
  6. Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007) - Reckoner
  7. Kanye West - College Drop-Out (2004)
  8. The Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004) - Laika

The 111 Best Albums of the 2000s (78-88):

May get the next 11 out tomorrow...if not...off on a mini-vaca...will continue on Monday.

The 111 Best Albums of the 2000s (78-88):

78. Jose Gonzalez - Veneer (2005)
- JG's first solo album since his Zero 7 years is a haunting yet beautiful folk record.

79. Beck - Modern Guilt (2008)
- Beck drafts super-producer Dangermouse (whose impact is felt through this list)...to create an album suited for radio play in the 70s on AM...but somehow feels fresh and new for this decade.

80. The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic (2000)
- The indie supergroup featuring Neko Case, A.C. Newman, Ban Bejar (Destroyer) may be the best release any of them have done. Just a solid example of what happens when great minds think alike.

81. Pete Yorn - Musicforthemorningafter (2001)
- Pete Yorn's debut literally came out of nowhere. There was a very little buzz about this guy prior to the release...and being on Sony...there was very little thought that this might be anything more than a major label's attempt at woeing the indie crowd. But over the past decade...Pete has remained diligent about his craft, keeping it his own. And over that period...his debut has only ripened with age. (Lose You)

82. Jurassic 5 - Quality Control (2000)
- Possibly the release that legitimized the underground hip-hop movement. Though none of their other releases...solo or as a group...came close the originality or personality of this debut, the album continues to be a heralded landmark on the hip-hop landscape. (Lausd)

83. Kings of Leon - Only By Night (2008)
- Six months ago...I may not have included this...but the album has fought and clawed its way in critical and commercial success. Something that is no small feat in today's music industry. But that aside, it's just a good rock record. Not as strong as maybe their last release...but their music has matured as they have.

84. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (2007)
- Though it lacks in life and "fire" that the debut had...it's still a collection of intensely constructed songs...dark but vibrant...morid but alive. Even when they're a half-step off their game...they're still a full step in front of everyone else. (Antichrist Television Blues)

85. My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges (2008)
- The one thing severely lacking from the 2000s are the pure old fashioned rock records. A few bands tried to carry the rock n roll torch...but very few came close. But on MMJ's release from last year...it was like the band was harnessing the past and everything that made them what they are. It may be too early to tell how great this record is...and who knows...a couple years down the road...I could see this album hanging out near the top. (The Librarian)

86. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion (2009)
- This year's front-runner is a ecclectic mix of the future of music. Many people are struggling to grasp this album, which only means it's one that takes time. And any album with that kind of attention needed is one that is usually worth the time invested.

87. Kanye West - Graduation (2007)
- Maybe the weakest of KW's non-autotune releases...is still a masterful hip-hop album and a scolding lesson of what can be accomplished with smart production. And any album that samples Daft Punk should always get an honorary listing.

88. Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (2000)
- ES' last official release before his death shows the singer growing and expanding. He may have conquered on tunes that were simple bare bones kid & and a guitar folk...but Elliott wasn't satisfied being just that. He was ready to challenge what he was capable of doing and where he could go...too bad we'll never know what he could do. (Somebody That I Used To Know)

The 11 Best Albums of 2008 (Part 5)


At the end of the day, my decision on this top 11 came down to one thing...listenability. Which albums held up to repeat listens... Which albums didn't get dated by the 3rd spin... Which albums still sounded fresh a month after the novelty wore off... Which albums I felt confident recommending to friends...

Bon Iver's album became that one album that stood above the others. It's the one album I kept going back to...the one album I could listen to on repeat...the one album that reminded me why I love music so much...


The 11 Best Albums of 2008:

1. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (Flume - Daytrotter)

The 11 Best Beck Non-Album Tracks:


So I know this is a bit of a cop-out...I had planned to do 3 Beck B-side albums...spanning his entire career. But with life (yes, that troublesome life) getting in the way, I've opted for something a little simpler. But look on the bright side...at least I'm not doing the 11 worst Beck B-sides.

This was a little tough to put together. There are many great Beck B-Sides that have been officially released on the deluxe version of Odelay. and I try to make it a principle...if it's been officially released on an album, it can no longer be considered a B-side. So, I have pooled the remaining tracks and come up with this list.

The 11 Best Beck Non-Album Tracks:

1. One of These Days (Mutations-Era)
2. Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
3. Diamond in the Sleaze (Mutations-Era)
4. Diamond Bullocks (Mutations-Era)
5. Halo of Gold (Mutations-Era)
6. Fume (Mellow Gold-era)
7. This Girl That I Knew (Guero-Era)
8. Salt In The Wound (Midnight Vultures-era)
9. Midnight Vultures (Midnight Vultures-era)
10. Corvette Bummer (Mellow Gold-era)
11. This Is My Crew (Midnight Vultures-era)

Buy Modern Guilt...right now!

The 11 Best Beck Songs:


So one week after having a kid I got in a car accident...then two weeks later...I get the stomach flu. Anyone want to take bets on what happens to me next?

Having a second kid is a completely bizarre dynamic. It's like having a foreign exchange baby come and stay at your house. Reason is...this new baby is completely different from your first child and it's hard to grasp that it's really yours. But maybe making the child different is nature's way of keeping you interested.

The 11 Best Beck Songs:

1. Jack-Ass (Odelay)
2. Lost Cause (Sea Change)
3. Girl (Guero)
4. Sexx Laws (Midnight Vultures)
5. One of These Days (B-Side)
6. Debra (Midnight Vultures)
7. Sissyneck (Odelay)
8. New Round (The Information)
9. Guess I'm Doing Fine (Sea Change)

Sorry for the delay in returning...after having my second daughter...I was in a bad car accident, wrecking my car...but luckily no injuries. I was rear-ended by some a-hole with no insurance, now i have to spend the better part of my time fixing the situation. When all i want to do is spend time with my kid.
