Beck
Beck Hansen spent his formative years in coffeehouses creating a suburban, angst-ridden presence that would eventually lead to a multi-platinum career and inspire legions of 7-Eleven slackers. Since the surprisingly successful single "Loser" (1994), Beck has continued onwards and upwards, releasing a number of diversely creative, genre-jumping releases. He has emerged as one of the decade's most colorful postmodern popsters -- from the contemplative One Foot in the Grave to the Dust Brothers-produced, folk-hop masterpiece Odelay and the recent Midnite Vultures. This album owes as much to Prince's Around the World in a Day as it does the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique. Magnetism and quirky charm (he once threatened to play K-Mart retail stores exclusively) dutifully intact, Beck continues to party way past bedtime -- singing, dancing, and raking it in like it's 1999.
