lol sorry al this thread moves to fast!

What Comes Around is great

xp

Yeah, I was surprised at What Comes Around's showing.

http://home.earthlink.net/~pauletc/beastietrackresults.htm

It was the moment I realized they were great, not just punks with a lucky ticket.

I imagine this line being delivered by Jerry Orbach in a Beastie Boys biopic. "Word on the street was that these punks wuz washed up. Sure they got lucky once but this time they rolled the dice and it came up snake eyes. Heard they'd fallen in with a coupla west coast mugs name a the Dust Brothers. But then Fat Vinny played me Shake Your Rump…"

Albums
1. Hello Nasty
2. Ill Communication
3. Paul's Boutique
4. Check Your Head
5. Licensed To Ill

As short as it gets:

1. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" (40)
2. "Rock Hard" (36)
3. "She's on It" (33)
4. "Rhymin and Stealin" (30)
5. "So What'cha Want" (28)

The truth is, Paul's Boutique was a letdown for me at the time, and from that point forward I only heard the singles, and not even all of those. But Licensed to Ill had a huge effect on me when it came out, and the first four songs above can still take me back to that moment.

Pleased to see Futterman's Rule just bubbling under in the countdown

I've never really got the hang of Check Your Head. IllComm always struck me as a much much stronger record

Shake Your Rump was my own #1, and has been since pretty much the first time I heard it. I may not have fully understood Paul's Boutique when I was 15, but I understood that Shake Your Rump was otherworldly great.

btw I saw this yesterday

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m46re32dRV1qzopi5o1_1280.jpg

I submitted 5 videos but I guess I'm not super bummed if no one else did.

In re Shake Your Rump (which was also my #1), lots of talk itt about great lead-off songs, but SYR is a perfect #2 song, a sucker punch after the drifting intro. You get that quick rattling snare fill, and then NOW I ROCK A HOUSE PARTY AT THE DROP OF A HAT...

I submitted 5 videos but I guess I'm not super bummed if no one else did.

I'm gonna tabulate the video votes soon. Just haven't done it yet.

i didn't post my vid votes cuz I knew they were still to come

Thanks for running this poll, Mr Fever. It's been awesome.

yes, thank you! the only silver lining about MCA's sad passing is that my enthusiasm for the BBoys has been completely renewed.

Great work JF, really enjoyed this. 'Shake Your Rump' is a nice surprise #1.

been busy all of last week, so i've only just caught up with this. terrific poll!

hey dom, where'd you see that mural? <3 it so much.

voted negotiation limerick file as my #1. when i was 17, i used to try and buy 2 copies of 12"'s and mess with 'em, and I played w/ NLF for hours upon hours and never got sick of it. still shit at dj-ing mind.

i fucking love the beastie boys.

Just noticed the other day that “Car Thief” samples “I’ll Bet You.” Think it’s the Jackson Five version but not 100% sure.

Yeah its not the Funkadelic version

And it’s certainly not the Theresa Lindsey version.
