The question to me is does he also completly change his fanbase with every new album? Or is he just a musician with a devout enough following that allows him to do that without loosing more money in the process than he's making?

Where music goes, people follow. I've got over 140 songs of just Beck alone on my PSP at home, and I can think on one hand all the Beck songs I don't like.

You missed my point, Beck is neither the first nor the last artist to do that, he is among the few who happen to be in a position that allows them to continue doing it without getting broke in the process.

A lot of followers does not automatically translate to huge talent, often it only translates to popularity. However, you kinda say you dislike every other music that is not Beck and yet say that Beck played pratically in every style?

I'm just saying he's very consistent in the quality of music he delivers. There's never any two songs of his that sounds similar, and it's very hard to do that, especially when producing an album that's fixed on one theme. And the reason I say I dislike non-Beck music but enjoy his genre variations is that has a knack for taking elements of past decades or lampooning lyrics and making them better thatn the original. His entire Midnite Vultures album was basically spoofing Prince and the whole sensuality of the 70's/80's with the raunchy lyrics, innuendos, etc, and while some panned it, I found it a funny, smart satire of that era. And when he raps, it''s not about cars and women and all those things rappers on the radio sing about, it's always just random but beautiful images and phrases. Also, I'm not saying he's the best in the whole world (although it certainly would seem that way), becuase I know not everyone likes Beck, let alone as much as I do. Everyone has their own opinions and mine just happens to be that I really really like Beck. And @ Julian - He hasn't made a techno album, but has dabbled in the genre with a few songs such as Timebomb, Get Real Paid, and Ghettochip Malfunction (Hell Yes Remix), among others. No hardcore rave stuff, but you get my drift.

Saying you like only one artist is a little narrowminded dont you think?? I mean its your opinion of cource and I have all the respect for it, but it just seems narrow, its like saying I like only one movie , or game. Surely theres got to be other bands that you like, or listen to?? maybe not as much as beck but still like.

Oh, I remembered one artist I hate with a fervor for his lyrics alone (I think he falls in one of the many metal subgenres): Danzig

At least Nickelback writes their own music and performs it on their albums, you have to respect that about them. they are not a prefabricated made up  over produced publicity band, they have hit the road performed every night and can be considered veterans. and for the most part at least show a pretty level of musicianship.  but music is like tea.  we all have preferences.

Wasnt that Black Sabbath??

Nice selections for guitarist, two in particular catch my eye on your list. Satch and Marty Friedman. What can you say about Satch?  you could set a metronome to his time and just count. his riffs are both emotive and technical.  Marty Friedman is not as well known to most of the public but his use of exotic scales and vibrato is very unique. I dig the hungarian minor mode and the gypsy mode he used on  the album Dragons kiss. you might wanna check out Satriani's new band Chickenfoot, man that band can swing. check out the song down the drain

I listened to Down The Drain,it's a cool song,it's groovy,moderate yet kicking and I like the soloes.Don't know if you noticed but his band's symbol is like the "Peace" symbol but it looks like a chicken's foot...lol

dante906v2:

point? But would you consider Rob Zombie himself a band if he has other artist contribute to his work?
Same with Gorillaz, they have one or two people regularly in their band, with De La Soul helping them with their rapping and godknowswhatelse.

dante906v2:

Hahaha, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking a question about the artists.

deliriousstudios:

Just a bit curious what definition of music includes a requirement of passion.

i dislike rap and hiphop, rap because well imo its just a string of curse words that are too fastly sung and ryhm, hip-hop well just because i dont like it

i hate anything that has to do with being satanic with a passion , but i do like metal, christian metal(think dream theater) and which ever category the red hot chille peppers are in because they are awesome

You haven't been listening to right groups, try Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, and Grandmaster Flash. Many of these artists were conducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.

yeah i have listend to run dmc and beastie boys but i just dont like their sound, yes i admitt they are talented but its just not my type of music
