    Beck

    Odelay

    Beck's second official studio album couldn't be taken less of a 'Loser' turn. It's retro and psychedelic vibe sent fans towards a completely different, yet fresh, direction thanks to song like the Grammy-nominated 'Where It's At'.

    Who could forget haunting tracks like 'Shadow Boxer', 'Sleep to Dream', and the song that made Apple a household name, 'Criminal'.
