least favorite beastie boys songs....

[dust monkey]

jimmy shearer just read cj hoods list on the new brouhaha w/b-real

figured it might be fun to continue here.

my list, only album cuts & excluding mix-up altogether.

10 crawlspace
9 thats it thats all
8 say it
7 remote control
6 picture this
5 song for the man
4 and me
3 don't play no game
2 dr lee phd
1 fight for your right

jim had 3 minute rule & tadlock's glasses on his list & i love those songs. how can you diss on the ping pong ball.

i'd love to read what some of you think, i've never made a least fav list before. i might rethink my #1, that's me saying it's 1 now cause it's such a cheesy hair metal trash cut, but damn if it didn't get worn out back in the day.

Yep l don't like the New Reactionaries version, my mind wanders every time l play it and yet l LOVE the original version.

[Brother McDuff]

yeah i figured i might catch some shit for that one. not calling it a bad track by any stretch, and a fresh concept at heart, however i do find myself skipping it on the regs. a superb live vehicle though.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I like the podcast and Jim, but am I the only one that is bugged by how hard he goes about Mike and Adam performing live again. It bums me out every time.

Any way my list, to add to the wildness of picking 3 MC’s and 1 DJ, Long Burn the Fire is shocking pick. That song is fire.


Okay my list.

Body Movin Fatboy Slim Remix, I hate it so much.

Say It


jim is relentless but i think it's kinda cool. just another super fan.

agree long burn the fire is great, i just couldn't get over the 3 MC's pick.

i'm glad someone agrees with me on Say It. this cut is noise. kinda went from gratitude (GREAT), sabotage (GOOD), remote control (BAD), say it (noise).

[Extra Cheese]

Dr Lee phd is up here 5 times. Good grief man!!!! I love that shit

Desperado

We Got The
Body Movin’ - Fatboy Slim remix
Too Many Rappers - New Reactionaries

And there’s a few off The Mix Up that have never done anything for me, namely:
The Cousin of Death, The Mellee, The Kangaroo Rat.

[dust monkey]

Desperado

In a world gone mad


world gone mad IMO might be their worst song ever, my list didn't include non-album cuts.

desperado is a wild pick and sure to cause some controversy since this cut has long been held the holy white whale grail.

[Extra Cheese]

since this cut has long been held the holy white whale grail.

I think thats why I really don’t care for it. I didn’t discover that song on my own it was always hearing someone talk about it and how great it was then I finally heard it expecting something incredible and it just sounded like a licensed to Ill bside to me

[Micodin]

Your Sister’s Def

[Sir SkratchaLot]

It's hard to list Beastie Boys songs I don't like. Most have some redeeming qualities.

1 - "In a World Gone Mad" is definitely my number 1 worst song.
2 - "Your Sister's Def"
3 - "Girls"
4 - "I Don't Know" (sorry Yauch)
5 - "Remote Control"
6 - "The Bruouhaha"
7 - "Don't Play No Game" (I want to like it, but I can't). I love Santogold too.
8 - "Just a Test"
9 - "Jimi"
10- "Right Right Now Now"

[paulb]

Just a Test is incredible to me. Its like sand in one hand you cant hold for long.

Some of my lesser favs:

1) Crawlspace
2) Girls
3) Netty's Girl
4) Picture This
5) Start!
6) Song for the Man

[fonky pizza]

omg get outta here....

[fonky pizza]

Hahaha! Good one!
You don't like Song for the man?!
Get out of here!

[Brass Monk]

Responses are so interesting. Even within the hardcore BBoys circle, there are major differences of opinions in relation to songs that are hated or loved. I think that just goes to show how versatile a group they were.

[dust monkey]

Hahaha! Good one!
You don't like Song for the man?!
Get out of here!

fair enough but i can't believe you dropped ricky's theme sabrosa and something got to give, i damn near spit up my coffee. it's like we're now treading into the sacrilege friends zone.

Start!?... That was a cover song and I think it's better than half of The Mix Up songs.

[Brother McDuff]

Some bold opinions here indeed. Absolutely loving the spectrum, and proud of this community that there haven't been any nuclear exchanges here over these shares yet, ha! (y)

this is a good point. i'm guessing it's due to the fact that we're all old now and a little wiser. kinda like bigfatlove's comment to ben. i don't go back and look but i remember some of those nuclear exchanges....

Ahh c'mon!
I might post a serious list..... later

[pesto pizza]

1. We got the......
2. Somethings got to give
3.The update = because l cant really hear the vocals which is a shame
4. Dedication
5. Too many rappers new reactionaries version = the original version is a ten, so this version pissed me off being on the album.
Used to dislike 6. Hey ladies but now after decades of hating it, l really like it......weird


Only songs of theirs l dislike

lol

[3stooges]

I never liked Sabotage. I remember getting a free promo cassette at a release party and being like "what is this...I don't think I like this..."
