(THIS) POLL REVERE(S) — ILM Artist Poll #19 — Beastie Boys RESULTS

The Country Mike album is so bad. I hope nobody voted for any tracks from it.

Posse In Effect is way too low!

*37. "SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE" (1992) [157 points, 7 points]*

Something's Got to Give was in my top 5 - so profoundly stoned, with that spaced-out Planet Caravan vocal effect. When I first heard it I thought that another band could use this as the template for their whole sound.

The Beasties have lots of songs like that; things they never quite repeated but which you could see being worth exploring for a whole career - Gratitude being another. In fact, much of CYH is.

35. "B-BOYS MAKIN' WITH THE FREAK FREAK" (1994) [172 points, 8 votes]

Aw man some of the pics on that utube are great! I love AdRock

Ad-Rock's always been the cutest.

I'm happy, though somewhat surprised, to see "B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak" this high. I've always loved it, but most of my friends see it as minor Beasties at best.

33. "COOKY PUSS" (1983) [202 points, 11 votes]

damn that's low

(I didn't vote for it)

I voted for it, but down at the bottom of my ballot. I'm known on occasion to break out with a "I said I HOUSE ya" for no good reason.

While C.P. himself was unforgettable if you were growing in up in NY/NE/FLA regions, I'd forgotten about Cookie O'Puss, who gets a passing shoutout

I remember wanting a Fudgie the Whale cake for my birthday, but one of my friends got one for theirs and that changed my mind. Carvel ice cream was so nasty. Do they still exist?

some kind of licensed (and merely rectangular) ice cream cakes labeled "Carvel" are available in the freezer section of my local supermarket here in NC.

32. "THE MOVE" (1998) [227 points, 10 votes, 1 first place vote]

A late cut. The best song on the first half of Hello Nasty.

I GOT THE ILL PERIPHERAL

woulda been higher if I'd remembered to vote for it

harpsichord break is alltime imo

31. "SHE'S CRAFTY" (1986) [234 points, 11 votes]

noooooooooooooow I like nothin better than a pretty girl's smile
and I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while

nonsense -- best soft serve ice cream for years. Quite a few remain open in Miami.

Yeah there's a Carvel over by my office here in Folsom. i kinda like their icecream!

30. "BODY MOVIN'" (1998) [250 points, 12 votes]

Love the video, but not a huge fan of the song. Despise that Fatboy Slim remix.

yeah, the prevalence of that fatboy slim remix is baffling

steel drums sample on the original pretty much makes the song for me
