Utterly brilliant. How he isn’t the biggest artist in the world right now utterly defeats me.

In the top 5 gigs I’ve ever seen. Just superb.

His Beck Bogert and Appice was a pretty decent album.

I think I'd probably rate him third or fourth best guitarist in the Bluesbreakers. Peter Green probably the best, then Clapton, and Page/Beck.

Benn listening to his album this morning. The guys a frickin' genius.

So jealous of that gig. Really hope he's in London again in the near future as he's massively on my bucket list.

Intimate gig he announced on Monday, tickets went in 2 minutes Wednesday morning.

Fair play to Superfrans for getting a ticket for that.

I think Frans said that he works for a music publication.

Beck’s new album sounds good. What seems to gave held him back is that in today’s music industry he can be too eclectic and can’t be put in one particular box.

Ahh that would explain it.

I agree that he's never been truly celebrated (His eclecticness shows what a clever bloke he is) and i honestly think he's made this album for that reason. It's so fun and poppy, and just seems to be him saying "Ok, I'll give you what you want" before coming back next year and trolling everyone with another One Foot in The Grave type album.

Also, for those who've never heard it, this is essential listening if you're a Beck/Velvet Underground fan...

Capability appears to have no correlation with popularity, sadly.

If he was around in the 80’s he’d have been as big as Prince imo. That was a decade where you could be pop and an artist so for every commercial hit like Faith you could drop a song like A Diferent Corner and you could stay on top.

Wait, what?

Beck has a huge following and has had mainstream hits for 20 years. What more exactly are we expecting?

Not had a top 40 hit in either the UK or Us since 2905.

I was very lucky. And likewise, I'm definitely going to see him again next time he's over.

He suffered the indignity of being turned away, along with Paul McCartney, from some no-mark's party last year.

McCartney suggested they's better start writing some more hits.

Not quite true. I work for a company in the music business, so have a few contacts who can occasionally help. Usually have to buy all my own tickets etc, but managed to find someone with a spare this time.

His album this week will probably do just over 10,000 copies and will only just about scrape into the UK Top 5 if he’s lucky. He’s highly regarded, but is far from being a household name - which he absolutely should do.

In contrast, Liam Gallagher’s album made Number 1 yesterday with over 100,000 sales in the UK.
