every body always says that Beck tries to sound like Prince... On what songs?

I don't think he does try to sound like Prince at all. He's definately been influenced by him though. The one song where you can really hear that is "Debra" off of "Midnight Vultures".

His new album is great, but if you're new to the whole Beck thing, then Midnight Vultures and Odelay are the best two to start with. Sea Change is also an amazing album.

Try the Midnight Vultures album, it's probably his most Prince-like album.

dreary album , deservedly sank like a stone

I kinda like it, to each their own I guess.

of course , we cant even decide which Prince songs are great so theres no hope of us all liking the same music outside the Purple vault is there

the whole 'midnite vultures' album sounds like a love letter to prince in my opinion...some of the liner note art even reminds me a little of 'dirty mind'. it's not my favorite beck album, but it's fun.

black tamborine (only a little though)

if P this year delivers a CD half as original, cretaive and ambitious as Becks new CD i'll be astounded. Yes Beck does go back to his old production values and sound he still manages to take it forward. Unlike Musicology which went back and stayed back!!.

Exactly. That Debra cut is the shit. Beck put his heart and soul in that song for real and everything else .

that song reminds me of INXS "need you tonight".

and george michael's "faith".

and, okay, prince's "kiss".

Anxiety, you are dead on about the Inxs reference. This is the first thing that came to mind when I heard that cut .

that's by far my favorite song on guero, except for the fact that the song just cuts off at the end outta nowhere.

Now, that's the only part that sucks.
