50. "Cold Brains" by Beck

The opening song to Beck's surreal gift to humankind, the album Mutations.

It's just a little acoustic guitar number, with vocals, some lead electric guitar, bass, drums, a few escalating electronic sound signatures, etherial keyboards, xylophone, oscillating pulses, ringing cosmic pulses, dozens of other electronic textures, and harmonica.

There are these warm verses that break into these huge choruses with such bold, heavy chord changes and imaginative singing. So much originality in 3.5 minutes.
