Beck.

Despite being a very avid non-Beck fan, I respect him as a musician.

The reason being is the mere fact that he created the one song of his that I love undyingly; Nausea.
Occasionally, I will respect an artist I dislike if they can release one or a few songs I can enjoy wholeheartedly or even tolerate. But not always; not looking at anyone Radiohead.

I was pretty much put off the first time I ever heard the tune Sexx Laws. Seriously; what is with that song? It's pretty lame. I heard it on Futurama, which for the record, is a wonderful show.

Lameness of Sexx Laws aside, he writes some pretty spiffy lyrics. Go read some. Be amazed. Then fall in love with Nausea. I did.

Man. I'm not really with it today.

I END WITH THIS;
I respect Beck as a musician even if I don't like him. Oh yeah.
