Odelay

Throwing back to the glory days of Alternative in the '90's, lets get fire up the Jukebox and groove on Beck. Perhaps most know for his hit song "Loser", which became somewhat of an anthem in the 90's, Beck has released quite a bit of music over the years, blending just about every genre into an album, I will always recall that point in the 90's where Beck was the Alt King.

The mid 90's were chock full of Alt goodness, Grunge was hanging on somehow, but Alt Rock seemed to be the next big thing. Beck had released 'Mellow Gold'  in '94 and was poised to hit pay dirt with the success of "Loser" and he did just that with 'Odelay' when it hit in '96. The album gave us five singles and videos that were gold. "Where It's At", "Devils Haircut", "The New Pollution", "Sissyneck" and "Jackass" put Beck on the top of the Alt Rock mountain. Combining any genre and mixing it up into Beck goodness is exactly what this album was. It was party, upbeat, somber all in one. Beck of course went on to make more eclectic records through the years, even going as far as releasing a book of sheet music at one point. While 'Odelay' remains a classic to me, Beck gets points for playing himself as a Folk Rock icon in Futurama. So dust off the flannel and torn jeans and take a trip back to the good ol days.
