Beck – E-Pro (2005)

E-Pro – Beck

Among the seemingly infinite tools in Beck’s arsenal, he hasn’t used the anthem hammer all that often. Perhaps that’s because the first time he used it, he became an international star with “Loser,” and half the fans were too stupid to get it. Yet, “E-Pro” has endured on soundtracks, playlists, and party mixes much longer than anyone could have imagined in 2005. Perhaps its because when someone as smart as Beck puts outside concerns aside and writes an anthem, it sticks in your brain. If the world wouldn’t let Beck be David Bowie, at least let him be the Beastie Boys.
