Beck: Odelay

 

Genre: Unclassifiable

Dates: 1996

Beck Hansen's music is distinctly his own, and Odelay is the CD that solidified his style. He was dubbed a one-hit wonder because "Loser" was a novelty song, but Odelay proved his critics wrong. His deadpan Dadaism is more prominent than ever, with lyrics like "Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees/ Mouthwash jukebox gasoline" (from "Devil's Haircut"). — Jordan Maze
