Odelay - Beck

Loser was the song that made Beck famous.

In 1996, Odelay was the Album that put him on the map. As Albums go it's a little mixed up, it opens with the almost bluesy Devils Haircut, followed up by the groovy Hotwax and the Country style Lord Only Knows.
And it is the Genre Hopping between styles that really makes this album stand out, Beck raps and strums his way through Folk, Rock, Funk and Soul in what has to be one of the most original Albums of the 1990's.

On the Thursday Live Drive CJ Playlist will be Devils Haircut, The New Pollution, Where it's At, High 5, and, if we can squeeze it in we'll play Jackass!

Hmm - interesting choice - lets see if it stands the test of time. Always thought he was a bit of a berk but maybe thats alliterative.

Anyway based on last post dont go near Barry Manilow!!!
