essentials: Midnite Vultures (Beck)

...and then there was Midnite Vultures. Beck changed everything with this album. He proved he could bring funk back in a big way, as well as properly infuse it with everything from heavy electro to a goddamn banjo! He also gave the how's your father to those that said he'd never top Odelay. And, lastly, he made me love everything about him. This album is amazing. Here are two tastes... and if you are ever so daring, a link to download the entire album. You know you won't regret it.

NIIIICE. I listened to Midnight Vultures exclusively throughout my senior year of college. Such an under appreciated album and ahead of its time.

i know, right? i was a freshman in college, at my first party, and everyone broke out in song to "Debra," which I'd never heard before... it made me get the album and i immediately fell in love with Sexx Laws and Mixed Bizness. So good.
