Beastie Boys
A couple of weeks ago I found a stash of old CD's and ripped them onto my iPod. Included in this stash was every Beastie album until Five Boroughs. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed these guys. It's funny to listen to music I haven't heard for six or seven years and still remember every word.
My favorite album is easily Paul's Boutique. Every song is crunchy, funny, and with a great beat. Check Your Head and Ill Communication are also excellent albums. I have since bought Five Boroughs and I like it so far. It doesn't hold a candle to Paul's Boutique, but it's still very good. Any other Beastie fans here? |

I liked Beastie Boys when I first heard them in '85 or so, but I soon grew tired of their stuff.

Funny, I also found Fear of Black Planet. I should give it a listen for old times sake. When I was in middle school, Flava Flav came to Price. He was visiting his half-brother Ronnie Stubs, the bball coach at CEU. It was in the newspaper and everything.

Flava Flav in Price, Utah. Wow. That is awesome.

Although I generally just don't ever listen to music anymore, I really like Paul's Botique. Now I'm going to have to search for it and listen to it... |

Hello Nasty is their best IMO.
Good mix of old classic B Boys style with a newer sound. |

I haven't given that one a fair shake. I've listened to it a few times, but not nearly as much as the others. Once I get sick of the others, I'll have to give it another shot.

Some of my favorite BB songs: "Egg Man" "Shadrach" "The Sounds of Science" "Intergalactic" "Sabotage" I know there are others but I can't remember because it's been so long. |

Absolutely without a doubt a HUGE Beasties fan.
My personal favorite is License to Ill. Love that CD. Solid all the way through. Paul's Botique is also a good one as is Ill Communication. I'd put those two a step below License to Ill. Hello Nasty and Check Your Head are right below those three, with To The 5 Burroughs a notch behind. I absolutely love the Beasties. My favorite song is probably Sure Shot. Also gotta love Brass Monkey, Shadrach, 3 MCs and 1 DJ, Paul Revere, Slow and Low (even though that was originally a Run-DMC song), Hey Ladies, The New Style, and so on and so forth. So yes, you could call me a fan of the Beasties. |
