(1998) | Odelay is a 1996 (see 1996 in music) album by indie rocker Beck. The album peaked at #16 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. After the mainstream success of "Loser", Odelay included several new hit singles, including "Where It's At" and "The New Pollution", which expanded his audience considerably. Odelay won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1996. It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. The album's unusual cover photo, which appears to show a mop jumping over a hurdle, is actually a real photo of a Bergamasco, a rare breed of dog with thick matted hair. The name Odelay was inadvertently invented by a sound engineer who was working on the album. He misheard the Mexican slang word "Hórale" in one of the songs as "Odelay" and transcribed it as such. Beck liked the name, and used it. In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Odelay the 51st greatest album of all time. It is number 305 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
