*his

I would start with Odelay, but that's just one opinion.

EDIT: see? Absolutely no consensus. No one's even mentioned Guero yet.

To me, Midnite Vultures is the greatest thing by him I've heard. It's brilliant top to bottom.

That's my favorite too.

I can't count the number of times I've listened to it straight through. I thinks it's about as perfect an album as I own. I wouldn't really characterize myself as a Beck fan either. I like a lot of his other stuff, but I don't go crazy for it. MV on the other hand is not from this planet.

I love that he's so versatile, but I like it when he's a bit more focused like on Sea Change and MV, so for me those are the two most successful albums. I still follow the guy, but after Sea Change it was largely hit or miss for me, though mostly in the "miss" column as far as albums go.
