The lyrics of "Body Movin" are totally fun and I somehow still remembered all of them when I heard it a few days ago for the first time since like 1999. I never loved its production on any specific version, but who cares...
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:12 (fourteen years ago)
I didn't vote for it though, but it's not that bad.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:13 (fourteen years ago)
I had my hopes up for "Something's Got To Give" placin just a lil higher than that.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
"Super Disco Breakin" was my highest-ranked Hello Nasty cut. Such a great high-voltage album opener.

ha! it really does.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:39 (fourteen years ago)
voted for both of these
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:39 (fourteen years ago)
Very sad Thurston. Good call on that comparison.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:39 (fourteen years ago)
I saw someone who looked like a hippie last week holding a flower and I started humming "I Don't Know."
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:40 (fourteen years ago)
"I Don't Know" is nice and all, but one thing this poll reaffirmed for me is I really prefer loud yapping Beasties to dreamy/experimental Beasties.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:44 (fourteen years ago)
I'm sure everyone agrees with you. "I Don't Know" is a good palate cleanser though, like Pellegrino after a night of drinking.

Turtles' "I'm Chief Kamanawanalea" is my favorite break/drumloop ever

such a great opener
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

Yup. In the context of the album I like it just fine.

Hello Nasty is a good album! I think that's a pretty noncontroversial statement. Also, it's going to place exactly 1 song in the top 25, so it's not like it's beloved here above all else.

― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 21:46 (fourteen years ago)
"Fight For Your Right" at #23 isn't quite as silly as "Whole Lotta Love" at #33 but it's still in the annals of ILM tracks poll foolishness

Isn't it just the ubiquity problem? It's a great song that I wore out in 1987; I don't hear the Beastie Boys often on the radio, but there's one station that will play "Fight for Your Right" now and again and nothing else.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 21:59 (fourteen years ago)
Didn't vote for it. Though it made me a fan in '86, I'm cool with never hearing it again. Same with Paul Revere. Sorry.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 21:59 (fourteen years ago)
Cf. "Satisfaction," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Sweet Home Alabama," countless others.

"The ubiquity problem" is some bullshit.
