Beck has range. His singles don't show off what he's capable of.
I think Beck doesn't get much airplay because he's not that entertaining. His music is filled with loops and talentless writing. So I think it is fair that he doesn't get that much radio airplay. However, he shouldn't even be allowed to make another album. Stop wasting the world's plastic!
Beck doesnt really gain too much popularity. Its hard to say hes overrated.
Totally overrated. Nothing more annoying than a white guy who thinks he's funky. Just horrible.
Beck is an amazingly talented guy who never lived up to his potential. The controversial hit single 'Loser' brought him public attention, and his follow up, and admittedly genius, album 'Odelay brought him to the forefront of pop culture as the future of music. Unfortunately his inventiveness, if anything, backslid from that point on, and he has been stuck in a watered down version of 1996 ever since. He could have been legendary.
Beck has zero songwriting and music composition skills. The reason why he's so well liked is that he: 1) is an extremely likable, cute, and cuddly hipster and 2) he has a great producer who wraps all of his tuneless melodies with beautiful loops and ambience.So Beck is overrated, but his producers are underrated.
I've never understood what the hype is all about with this guy. Overrated, to be sure. He sure doesn't deserve the raves he's received with songs that are exceedingly average at best.
I think Beck is talented and interesting, but he's not the musical savior many make him out to be.
As good as Sea Change is, Beck's "genius" has shown only in flashes - Mellow Gold, Odelay, Mutations. Everything else is solid to very good but certainly not the work of our generation's Dylan as some have called him.
i agree entirely with awerty
For some reason, everyone i know wants to take beck up the ass because they think he's a genius, i listened to a couple of his songs, and found nothing special about his music. it's very bland, and it seems as though he is trying too hard to make a new style by fusing different genres, but fails miserably.
how could anyone say beck is overrated! who ever makes a big deal about Beck??
He's good, but his talents haven't really turned into much, especially not lately.
