Thunder Peel rules, I saw him do it live on the Odelay tour and it smoked

"I come from the land of the ice and snow / With the jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow"
Nice! I used to go around singing "I got two Clark Gables and a David Cone."

Yeah, Stereopathetic Soul Manure was No. 2 on my albums poll. A great companion to Mellow Gold!

my favorite track on modern guilt, love the prog beck it hints at
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 June 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
Yeah easily the standout of MG. Joey Waronker is just completely bonkers on this. Would love a whole album of tunes in this vein.
― One Eye Open, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 18:04 (four years ago) link
I think I cut Chemtrails from my ballot at the last minute, glad it made it.
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
only song from Modern Guilt that made my ballot, such a good late era song from Beck.

no sea change songs made my ballot but "little one" was on there for a few of the early drafts. easily my favorite song on the record, think the production on the chorus is perfect

xp Little One and paper tiger both have that dark-orchestral-psych thing going on and kill it, the most successful songs on Sea Change. Interesting hearing it back to back with Chemtrails

Little One always reminded me of Neil Young’s There’s a World, but that could be my addled mind acting up again

never got the love for High 5, maybe my least favorite Odelay track?
― Ambient Police (sleeve), Wednesday, 5 June 2019 19:05 (four years ago) link
Re:High 5 that was the case for me too for a long time, but as the years have gone by I'm come to love it, especially for its placement on the album. Its like all the chaos and layers and samples and noise finally become too much and the album just explodes and breaks down completely.
― One Eye Open, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 19:16 (four years ago) link
i forgot "Sunday Sun" was one of the singles from Sea Change. i think i voted for it at number 25 or right around there.

yep it's a victory lap + spontaneous combustion, and it's so fun xp

"sing it again" is so lovely and i'm sorta glad it beat those sea change tracks
First track I voted for to show up. I had it high, top 10 I think

Sing It Again probably would have been top 5 for me if I had voted, i've always loved just the sound of the words in that song ("The misers wind their minds / Like clocks that grind their gears")

Gave Blackhole a whole load of points, but if a song was on Mellow Gold it had a high chance of getting points. One of the better tracks though
― imago, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 19:51 (four years ago) link
This one was v close to the top for me. Have a vivid memory of listening to Mellow Gold on headphones for the first time and hearing this song and having one of those moments where I realized I'd been standing completely still holding my breath, just completely absorbed by it. Incredible recording.
― One Eye Open, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 19:57 (four years ago) link
it really is and speaks volumes of the depth of his catalog. when i finally got the results you can now see why i had to add ten more songs. these extra ten songs had to make this countdown!
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 20:03 (four years ago) link
On the contrary: it speaks to the shallowness of his catalog. He knows what he knows, and that's fine with me.
