Like, how can something be so wrong, so fucked, so hopeless, and yet also sound like a giant eternal warm cosmic bath? It enters the heart of America and threatens to live there forever, with the ocean and the bees...

mellow gold getting a collective TOO LOW right about now, although I'm aware half of it will place higher. didn't actually vote for this one but it's great fun

Agreed with Alfred about soul suckin jerk
He was to improve on it massively on Odelay

I love the sound of Beck's downpitched voice

Motherfucker is the only Mellow Gold track that I don’t love tbh, always felt a bit too much like a genre exercise to me. Soul Suckin Jerk on the other hand - junkyard rap about burning down your shitty fast food job - what’s not to love?

From Wiki:
The song begins with a sample of a fight that Beck recorded of his two abusive neighbors. Beck recalls,When I was recording the song in my living room and they were out front screaming at each other and I couldn't...I had to stop recording my song. And it was strange because I was recording the music for the song; I hadn't written words yet. And I couldn't record anymore because they were too loud and I just left. I had to leave 'cause it was too hectic. When I came back I had all this...I had the song and then after they had this argument...it's too bad I lost the tape that has the original argument 'cause the argument went on for 40 minutes. It was unbelievable. I put 2 seconds of it on there. Pretty classic. But somebody out there has it.Beck also called it "a special tape, filled with horrible things that will destroy your destiny if you know what it is."He also said: "I was so shook up by the thing that I pulled over on the freeway and I just wrote the lyrics out and then the next day came back and sang the lyrics over the song. It was one of those experiences where life writes the songs. Which is good.

Surprised to see 5 of my top 25 ranked already, all between 43rd and 36th. Thought my rankings were a bit idiosyncratic. . .
