Sure it's a big deal and it is not arguing who did it 1st either. Sure, if an artist uses a "riff" and makes it their own within their composition..kudos to them. The question was where did it come from? It is important in the fact that the "riff" can open up folks to discoveries of other artists as a result. It would be cool, at least for me, to know how Beck happened upon that "riff".

You know, I can see your point. It's just that Odelay was a CD of songs based upon samples from other artists and as far as my memory goes he credited everybody. By the way, some of the drums from this song come from Pretty Purdies Soul Drums. I don't think Beck happened upon these riffs, he knew they existed and was very familiar with the music. Everybody has their favourites and will return to them for inspiration. He used some really classical samples on that particular album.

To each their own, i guess, but I think "garbage" is quite harsh a judgement of The Haunted. "Garage", as most would classify it nowadays, yes. Garbage no.

Whomever said this music was garbage was harsh. This album demonstrated Beck's intelligence. he demonstrated a rare ability on this album. He acted as a DJ turned songwriter and that's not garbage. It's complete creativity and a way of looking at music that was duplicated years after the fact. I guess people don't understand the album?

man. this is awesome.(Odelay ftw.)

btw does anyone else think Michael Cera looks a lot like Beck when Beck was young? For some reason, I think so.
