If "Rock Hard" had gone #1 a year-plus before Licensed to Ill, I might never have been subjected to "The Final Countdown."

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 23:44 (fourteen years ago)

i'd rank the obscurity of beatie boys tracks this way...

You missed the Country Mike LP in between 5 and 6, recalibrate your scale before emailing Whiney

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

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 00:10 (fourteen years ago)

Posse In Effect is way too low!

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


This was the first song I connected with by the Beasties. LTI was a bit too early for me -- and PB I never heard until it was regarded a classic. But IIRC, before Check Your Head was released, this got some radio play -- on WFNX in Boston. I was stunned it was even them. The sloppy vocal fx cum "Someday/We shall/All be one" sentiment just suited 1992 so damn well.

Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 13:17 (fourteen years ago)

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.

Get wolves (DL), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 13:26 (fourteen years ago)

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]

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:33 (fourteen years ago)

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

pandemic, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:35 (fourteen years ago)

Ad-Rock's always been the cutest.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:39 (fourteen years ago)

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]

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

damn that's low

(I didn't vote for it)

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

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.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 15:50 (fourteen years ago)

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?

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:02 (fourteen years ago)

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.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:20 (fourteen years ago)

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

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:22 (fourteen years ago)

I GOT THE ILL PERIPHERAL

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:33 (fourteen years ago)

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

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 17:06 (fourteen years ago)

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