fucking people, i tell you...
There have been 20+ of this sort of ballot poll and the statistical updates in the results threads are SOP. I really don't think you are capable of getting loud enough to shout it all down.

It's okay, if a bit redundant in that one could easily make a cdr comp of most of these tracks anyway these days.
If you had access to the multitracks to make the instrumental versions of the CYH tracks that had vocals.

that's the one song of their that i can't reach for the dial fast enough when it comes on, glad to see it pulling up the caboose on the top 50.

btw, their most-played songs on alternative radio, in order of most spins, at least as of a few years ago: Fight For Your Right, Intergalactic, Sabotage, No Sleep Til Brooklyn, Brass Monkey, So What'cha Want, Girls, Paul Revere, Sure Shot
― contendo entertainment system (some dude), Monday, 14 May 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
I cut "Girls" because it's a little too ugh, but I admit to a lot of affection for it. Some dorky friends of mine in college reworked it as a theme song for our dorm (all honors kids), as "Nerds." (Nerds! Do their homework/Nerds! Got no girlfriends/Nerds! etc etc etc)

"I had nothing to do with it, man! My voice isn't even on that song. Those fools made the record when I was outta the studio. But I'm not makin' any excuses -- it's a jackass song." - MCA on "Girls," from a 2004 Entertainment Weekly interview
― intheblanks, Monday, 14 May 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
haha yet another reason MCA was way cool
i voted for "She's On It" but it was an admittedly contrarian move

Flute Loop is really great on its own. Always kind of got camouflaged by the rest of the album for me, but I'm lovin' it right now.

Never would have figured "She's On It" and "Rock Hard" would be so low...I'm living in some alternate Beasties universe.

both great but I cut 'em
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 14 May 2012 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i like "rock hard", but it isn't better than the comparable stuff on licensed to ill. just a bit more obscure.

I think the truth of those statements is going to be highly subjective. For me, they're neither contrarian picks (again, I assumed one or both would be top 10) nor even close to being obscure.
― clemenza, Monday, 14 May 2012 17:52 (twelve years ago) link
Rock Hard is pretty obscure
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 14 May 2012 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
i didn't necessarily mean contrarian in a 'oh it's bad/hated' but just in a hey i remember that song, what the hell i will vote for it even though it's not on spotify and i can confirm at the moment whether i actually like it all that much
― kitty shayme (some dude), Monday, 14 May 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
Without Spotify there is no music.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 14 May 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
Lol @ "Rock Hard" not "even being close to obscure"
Besides, like, rap radio in 1985, where would anyone even hear "Rock Hard"
― thommys got bendz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 14 May 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
it didn't even have a video!
― EZ Snappin, Monday, May 14, 2012 1:56 PM (2 minutes ago) Bookmark
well, not at my desk at work, no. i wasn't making the point that "She's On It" is obscure because it's not on Spotify or anything, to be clear (although i was surprised that it's not even collected on any of their compilations).
― kitty shayme (some dude), Monday, 14 May 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
I only know "Rock Hard" cuz of a CD-R of Beastie rarities burned for me about eight years ago.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 May 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Rock Hard has never been preserved in the cd age, I don't believe. If you want to hear it, you've got to track down the original Def Jam single.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 May 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
Sampling AC/DC means it never will be properly collected.
