Am I the only one who thought Odelay was impossible to listen to when it came out? I find it odd that people are saying "it sounds bad now".... shit, it sounded bad then... I may be wrong for this but I've written him off ever since, although some friends swear by him.

No, you're not.
A lot of the schitt that dude has done seems like borderline minstrelsy to me.

Let us say that I might say that if I had any interest in rehashing the same discussion with the usual SoulStrut apologists for the hundredth time.
Nah, I will assume the best as far as his intentions go, but some parts of his schtick just come off as ill-considered and insensitive.

she is cute and her voice is amazing although i didn't really get into her last album. I have so many good memories hanging out at friends houses listening to her music.
Beck has some good samples and drums put after a while im just bored with it.
I like bjork in tiny doses. I have Vespertine for sale, check the ads forum if anyone is interested.
Beck? Please. i always laughed at that shit. I mean it was supposed to be funny, right? I couldn't get behind the cornball schtick. I heard a new Beck song at Starbucks and it was actually nice. Had a funky geetar.
Wow. I wouldn't have guessed that so many people would hate on Beck but it kinda goes along with the MO of a certain set of Strutters who dislike lots of indy type artists who cross over into the starbucks set like Lauren Hill/Fugees or Mos Def. I always that there is a little self-hating going when I read these rants. I like Bjork a lot but Beck is IMO the most consistent and interesting artist out right now. Plus, he puts on a fucking kick ass live show to boot.

Latte to go? Have a nice day.
agreed, not many mainstream artists have done a decent job of addressing different styles from stuff like 'midnight vultures" to that mellow album sea changes to his pop friendly odelay. and i havent listened to the indie label albums either. he gets props over here.
