I'd say mine is...Sea Change. A bit depressing, but it brings up a million memories for me.

I thought I'd update this...the last time we had this thread was 2003, and we have a special edition of Odelay coming out soon.

Special edition of Odelay? Sign me up! I voted for that btw. Midnite Vultures is second.

The Information...was random as hell, seemed like it was lost in the shuffle. I lost my CD/DVD though and need to look through the videos again.

JAA

Easily, Sea Change.

Randy Miller III

Probably Odelay, with Mutations being a close second. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't really like Sea Change much...it seems so dull and repetitive.

Midnite Vultures

Stereopathetic Soul Manure has some great tracks ("Puttin' It Down") but otherwise has a lot of crap. I wasn't a big fan of Midnite Vultures.

In order of preference. Know I'm in the minority but Vultures brings up so many great memories of the summer it was released.

Hollowgen

throw me in that minority too. i saw beck perform on the tour for that album, and along with the music, it was the most fun/bizarre thing i've ever seen. this album makes me laugh out lout every time.

I like Midnite Vultures the best also.

Sea Change. It's a hauntingly beautiful album that brings back many memories.

I love Midnight Vultures a lot (and that was a great tour also) but Odelay has Charlie Haden on it. Hmm. Sea Change and Mutations are good too.

Rocketdog2000

Most definitely Sea Change. I'd love for him to make another album like that again.

The Bus

What do you think of Mutations and One Foot in the Grave?

Beck always made a "party" album followed by a "sad" album. Then The Information came out and he broke his streak.

brokenhanger

"Mellow Gold" is the one and only Beck album for me.

I remember being absolutely shocked he was still around when 'Where It's At' first came out - I wanted to like it, I really did, but it just never sat right with me.

Everything since then has been pretty unexciting as far as I'm concerned. Except 'Debra', I think it is, off of "Midnight Vultures". That's a fantastic track.

The Bus

I still can't believe I'm the only person who picked One Foot in the Grave.

Dr Mabuse

'Sea Change' - that's the one that got my attention that he was a real talent, not just an interesting indie act, it's my favorite and I also think it's his best work.

Cosmic Bus

Another vote for Midnite Vultures. "Debra" is an all-time favorite song.

Hollowgen

glad to see all the love for Midnite Vultures. hands down the funniest, wackiest, best, and adventurous beck album ever.

NoirFan

Sea Change definitely has the most emotional resonance, but I'll always have a nostalgic soft spot for Mellow Gold, bringing up blissful stoner teen memories as it does.

Decker

Odelay almost changed my life. Easily a top-five desert island disc for me.

orangecrush

Mutations with Odelay a close second.

Wait, where's 'Blow By Blow'??

Love many of the ones listed, but 'Midnight Vultures' has a special place in my heart.

macnorton

This was a tough call....Odelay is such an amazing piece of work, but Sea Change....there is something about it that makes it stand out much more. However, my opinion tomorrow could be the opposite, both are equally awesome.

Damfino

I like them all, but Odelay is the one that made me a fan.
