Beck has been eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since 2019 and was nominated once, in 2022. That’s not a long time compared to some other snubs but he still feels overdue.
The singer-songwriter has had commercial success (a top ten hit in ‘Loser,’ several Gold and Platinum albums), strong critical acclaim, and industry recognition (he has won eight Grammys and been nominated for Album of the Year three times, winning for 2015’s Morning Phase).
He has hopscotched around genres, proving passionate, knowledgeable, and adept at folk, hip-hop, electronic, country, and alternative rock. Few artists have as wide-ranging a discography.
Beck is exactly the sort of artist the Hall of Fame should recognize. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
See the sleep that rests upon
The quiet street we’re standing on
Is it time to go away?
Try again some other day?
[Chorus]
‘Cause these are the words we use
To say goodbye
These are the words you use
To say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Bones crack, curtains drawn
On my back and she is gone
Somewhere else, I do not know
Time will tell and I will go
[Chorus]
These are the words we use
To say goodbye
These are the words we use
To say goodbye
[Verse 3]
I will wait and take a turn
Sort it out, let it burn
And empty out an empty drawer
In my pockets, there’s nothing more
[Chorus]
These are the words you use
To say goodbye
These are the words we use
To say goodbye
Meet Me In Montauk 
Yeah, I think he will make it eventually.
