Beck

Beck... well... with Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Iron Maiden, he is one of the great souls of the sound multiverse that has guided my musical growth.
Seen by chance, in January 1994, in a crummy little place with just a few hundred people at most. He was unknown. To the point that before the concert, all of us in the audience mistook a simple technician/roadie for Beck. Then he arrived... he looked like a shy minor... but what a concert, ladies and gentlemen! He transformed a convinced metalhead, lover of prog and psychedelia who detested anything "electronic" into a fervent enthusiast of everything. Everything about everything. Beck, along with Radiohead, is the musical genius who changed the face of music in the '90s and into the early 2000s. I have never stopped following him; even his latest phase I find very enjoyable, less explosive than the Beck of a few years ago, but still full of class and so much, so much craftsmanship. A genius!
