Default 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?

Beastie Boys are just alright. But I had a similar experience with Public Enemy recently. My '98 Oldsmobile's so...

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.

You can't do much better than Fear of a Black Planet.

I've recently resurrected my old "License to Ill" CD and have put a few of those tracks on my running mix on the iPod. Good stuff, including No Sleep til Brooklyn, Fight for your Right, title track, Brass Monkey, SLow and Low, Paul Revere, and others I can't think of.

Other than this CD, Paul's Boutique would have to be favorite, although it doesn't hold a candle to License.

You can count me as a fan.

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.
