Beck has confirmed he’ll play his first ever show in Cork at Live at the Marquee on 16 June. He’ll also play a special concert at Dublin’s Royal Hospital Kilmainham on 17 June with special guests Jonny Greenwood and the London Contemporary Orchestra.

To celebrate these highly anticipated shows, we have compiled a list of our favourite Top 5 Beck Songs below:

Sexx Laws

“Sexx Laws” was the lead single from Beck’s funky Midnite Vultures album released in 1999. The wacky video was directed by Beck himself and also features Jack Black.

Lost Cause

Beck deals with themes of heartbreak and loneliness in his 2002 album Sea Changes. “Lost Cause” was released as a single and the original video featuring an effigy of Beck falling from the sky was produced entirely in Adobe Photoshop.
