Listen "Beck's leaps in music songs"
Episode Synopsis
Beck Hansen is a ground breaker. Over 13 studio albums he's taken us from slacker indie, to cut n paste folk hip-hop, to all out funk, and kaleidoscopic pop. “Loser” may have put him on the musical map, but he's continued to push the boundaries in what he creates. All while crafting an incredible soundtrack for all of our lives. When he came in to Take 5, the theme I gave him was leaps in music - songs that have pushed music forward and changed the game for everyone. While his choices on paper may have seemed obvious, hearing him talk about them opened up new ideas about the impact of these big hit songs, when they first came out. And showed him for the massive music fan that he is. From The Beach Boys to Outkast, Beck’s Take 5 is a masterclass in musical history.The Beach Boys - 'Good Vibrations'Gary Numan - 'Cars'Talking Heads - 'Once In A Lifetime'Nirvana - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'Outkast - 'Hey Ya'
