    Alright, I searched for a Beastie Boys topic and I haven't found one, so I have tooken it upon myself to make one.

    I have recently found interest in the three-emcee group, and I have to say, they are an excellent group. Their older albums are absolutely amazing (and hilarious). Their new album, "To the 5 Boroughs" was pretty good, but not as good as it could have been.

    So, what do you guys think about the trio? Thoughts, comments?

    And you can also talk about their new album, "To the 5 Boroughs". Even though it came out around this time last year, what were your thoughts on it?

    Beastie Boys were hardcore. 'Scenario' is their best song ever.

    I've got mad love for the Beastie Boys. Their best album however has got to be "Hello Nasty". They're just so creative and funny at the same time.

    I thought that the Licensed to Ill album was an excellent album. Some of the best songs they have written (from my point of view) are:

    - Brass Monkey
    - Fight For Your Right
    - Intergallactic Planetary
    - Girls
    - She's Crafty
    - Ch-Check It Out
    - Triple Trouble

    And many others. I have to say, the Beastie Boys have done an excellent job over the years. And you gotta give it to them, these guys are old...and still kickin'!

    I like them, but IMO, their older stuff was much better.

    Yeah, I like their style of how they do 3 emcees, or can do rock too, as showcased on Licensed To Ill.

    Sabotage video was great.


    And when you memorize the lyrics to Ch-Check It Out.......Oh God. >_<

    I prefer License To Ill more than anything else they've done. The videos from that album were great.
