Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"We named the dog 'Chewbacca'!"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Good tune, though, from that album, I like "Supernaut" and "Changes" better.
Another great tune. I bought that from iTunes, as well as a couple other Muse songs - "Time Is Running Out" and "Hysteria".
The 10 songs I've purchased from iTunes with the highest play count:
10. "Night on Fire" - VHS or Beta
9. "Edge of the Ocean" - Ivy
8. "Loser" - Beck
7. "One Armed Scissor" - At the Drive-In
6. "Into the Fire" - Sarah McLachlan
5. "The 1234" - The Start
4. "Smile Like You Mean It" - The Killers (listened to this one last night)
3. "Amos Moses" - Jerry Reed
2. "Rock 'n Roll Woman" - Buffalo Springfield
1. "Money City Maniacs" - Sloan
This is not necessarily reflective of which are my favorite, since I put my purchased songs on shuffle quite a bit, though I know I've often started listening with one of these tunes, except for "Into the Fire". I actually prefer the other two songs that I've purchased from that album - "Drawn to the Rhythm" and "Shelter".

Indeed, I like both of those. Speaking of What's Next to the Moon, have you heard the Mark Kozelek album What's Next to the Moon? It's all AC/DC covers, but done as slow, acoustic ballads. I first heard one of the songs on an internet radio station and didn't realize I was listening to an AC/DC song until I noticed that the lyrics sounded familiar.
I'm a little surprised you'd have to download "Loser." Someone with a collection as extensive as yours, it seems odd you don't have Mellow Gold already.
Tommy, close your eyes.
I'm not necessarily a big fan of Beck. I remember when that song was new, and I liked it. However, I didn't really hear anything else from it, and didn't feel motivated to buy it based on that song alone. Odelay had two or three songs I had heard, and I think I got it through Columbia House. I've never really listened to it that much. Next time I heard him was on SNL for one of his next couple albums, and I didn't really like what he performed then. That was either Mutations or Seachange, or both. I just looked up the songs he performed on SNL in 1999 and 2003, and none of the sound clips grab my attention at the moment.
When he came out with Guerro, I was listening to the Music Choice alternative channel a lot, and I really liked "E-Pro", and the the "Missing" remix on Guerolito, "Heaven Hammer". The Information had a couple good songs that I heard a lot, and his performance on SNL in 2006 was really cool with the marionettes mimicking what the band was doing.
So, I have Odelay, and 5 Beck songs from iTunes:
"Loser"
"E-Pro"
"Heaven Hammer (Missing) [Air Remix]"
"Nausea"
"Think I'm In Love"
These days, I find it harder to get into entire albums if I haven't heard it first. Plus it is cheaper to just buy the songs I know I like than buy a full CD I rarely listen to. Maybe I have adult onset ADD.
Trentemøller - "The Last Resort"
You should try to track down "Lost Cause," "Rowboat," and "A**hole." Those are some good Beck tracks.
Tommy, close your eyes.
