Mellow Gold 1994 Album

Beck

The most intriguing release of 1994 was not anything by Pearl Jam or Soundgarden but this ramshackle entry which ended up taking the country by storm on the strength of the slacker anthem "Loser". The album has not aged that well over the years - nor has much from the 90s, for that matter - but Beck's mélange of seemingly disparate elements makes for an authentic journey, nonetheless.
