OK i'm sorry that this is going to have more than 12 song...ok so i'm not sorry but it IS going to have more than 12 songs.

Beck -- Greatest Hits


* 1.) MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack
- Beck's first single, very entertaining haha

* 2.) Loser
- The song that started it all, I love the music to it and the lyrics are fun too

* 3.) Pay No Mind (Snoozer)
- This is personally one of my favorite songs off of 'Mellow Gold' and I like the video for it too.

* 4.) Beercan
- I love this song too, it is also the last off of 'Mellow Gold' that should be on the greatest hits (in my opinion because we have so many more to go ha)

* 5.) Where Its At
- The song off of 'Odelay' that brought Beck back onto the scene. This song is fun...I got two turntables and a microphone...

* 6.) Devil's Haircut
- One of my favorite songs off of 'Odelay', I love the lyrics and the end when he is screaming 'GOT A DEVIL'S HAIRCUT IN MY MIND' haha

* 7.) The New Pollution
- This song IS my favorite song off of 'Odelay', it is very retro and the video is great too, it is the first Beck video I remember seeing and I have loved it ever since then (1997)...


* 8.) Sissyneck
- There were a couple of other singles off of 'Odelay' besides the ones mentioned but I decided to make this the last one on the GH's because I really like this song.

* 9.) Tropicalia
- Off of Beck's 7th album, 'Mutations' (1998). This song is very, well, I think the title says it all. I really love this song, and I didn't really have a full appreciation for it until I saw it live, then I fell in love with it all over again. Plus this song was the only real single released off of the album, but there is another song that deserves to be on here too *see below*

* 10.) Nobody's Fault But My Own
- Oh god this song makes me cry every time I hear it, it is so beautiful. I'll leave it at that. NOTE: this single was only released in Japan because of Beck's April Japan Mutations tour.

* 11.) Sexx Laws
- The first single off of the insanely good party-type album 'Midnite Vultures'. I LOVED this song when it came out (1999) and I still love it. The lyrics are uh, interesting and I love the banjos at the end. I also remember seeing the video to this song all of the time... I love it.

* 12) Mixed Bizness
- Second single released off of 'Midnite Vultures'. Anytime I need to cheer myself up, or just want to listen to something fun, I listen to the song...it's catchy but not too catchy and very dance worthy, its great.

* 13.) Nicotine & Gravy
- 3rd single off of 'Midnite Vultures'. This is one of my favorite songs off of the album and one of my favorites to sing along with as well.

* 14.) Beautiful Way
- This song was NOT a single but I would throw it in there for good measure. Some people may even know it because it came with one of the versions of Windows (cannot remember which one though) but even though it has its cheesy moments, it has some really good lyrics in there. Its good, its good.


* 15.) The Golden Age
- Off of Beck's latest album, Sea Change. Wasn't a single but it does have a video (not commercially released, it is on the Beck DVD though). This song is one of my favorite Beck songs EVER. Every part about it is beautiful.

* 16.) Lost Cause
- This wasn't released as a single either BUT the video was released and used to be played all of the time on MTV2 (trust me, I used to see it on there everyday) and even though it states 'Baby you're a lost cause...' it still has this comforting feel to it. Great song.


Even though there are many good worthy songs I didn't put on there, I think that about covers it.
