I've never actually listened to a Beck album.  I've read about 2/3rds of Dianetics before I wandered off to something else.

One Foot In the Grave. Hands down.

It is definitely to Beck's credit that the distribution of votes is spread so widely. 

Modern Guilt's not off to a great start. Perhaps if this survey were offered three years from now, people may have chosen it more.

I have not read any L. Ron Hubbard.  Although I wouldn't mind learning how to work an e-meter.

I voted One Foot in the Grave. Mutations and Sea Change are close seconds.

I read a couple of Hubbard's 'Mission Earth' books.  Even as an adolescent who was stupid enough to read Hubbard's books, I thought: sheesh, what's this guy so angry at the field of Psychiatry for?  Zero subtlety.

It's Sea Change, but then again I own and like Tim Hardin and Fred Neil LPs.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Honestly, my favorite Beck album is this one.

I've never heard a Beck album, probably won't ever. I'm not a rock guy and I never heard a song of his I like.

On Scientology, if you get of their personality test and give your real name be prepared to be on their mailing/calling list forever and counted as a Scientology member when they make claims about how big their "religion" is.

mutations is the album that turned me from a casual beck fan to an enthusiastic beck fan, but sea changes came out the same month that i ended an intense relationship, so. sea change wins.
