    Mellow GoldBeck

    Mellow Gold

    Beck · 1994 · Alternative & Indie

    A scrappy, genre-mashing breakthrough, home to 'Loser'. Quirky and fun. A 90s slacker landmark.

    OdelayBeck

    Odelay

    Beck · 1996 · Alternative & Indie

    A genre-blending collage of folk, hip-hop, blues and noise produced with the Dust Brothers. Restless, witty and fun. A defining 90s record.

    Sea ChangeBeck

    Sea Change

    Beck · 2002 · Alternative & Indie

    A stark, gorgeous break-up album of orchestrated melancholy, far from his playful collages. Honest and moving. His most affecting record.

    GueroBeck

    Guero

    Beck · 2005 · Alternative & Indie

    A return to genre-mashing collage with the Dust Brothers. Fun and varied. A strong mid-career record.
