Re: BECK
I don't think Guero is brilliant or anything, but I like it a lot more than trag does.
Really like Black Tambourine and E-Pro and Scarecrow - all have a nice guitar sound.

Re: BECK
I like Guero a lot. It's been a long time since I've listened through it (I should do that asap), but I know I'm a fan of a lot of these songs.
From memory, these are all good.
E-Pro (great), Que onda güero, Girl (kind of like this one), Black Tambourine (great), Hell Yes, Broken Drum (one of Beck's best), Scarecrow, Go It Alone, Farewell Ride

Re: BECK
Man, I haven't listened to anything from Guero other than Girl in years. I remember decently liking it in high school when it came out.

Re: BECK
I listened to a few tonight. Some better than I remember, one not as good. I still need to go through the entire thing, but I know I'm gonna still like it a lot. And as far as Girl goes, it's a decent song, but nowhere near a favorite.Jammer XCI wrote:Man, I haven't listened to anything from Guero other than Girl in years.

Re: BECK
Late to the party here but thanks a lot for this -- I hadn't realized how much of this is not "bootleg" material (which is just slightly beyond my scope of interest with Beck), but a really thorough roundup of EP's, B-sides, compilation tracks, etc. I love stuff like this! I can't say I'm a fan of all of Beck's early experiments but the best of it is in a league of its own -- such a great goofball spirit to it, yet offhandedly touching when the time is right.Wendy Carlos's Twin wrote:None of you guys have this bootleg?

Re: BECK
I was just wondering the same thing. I used to give the nod to the second album, but now that it's been a while (© Staind) I'd have to go with the first one. A little more memorable front to back.Kevin Davis wrote:Aw man, I love all of those too. Not a bad track in the bunch really.
