Most underrated Beastie song?

[JobDDT]

Live at PJ's. I wish they'd play that live more often (no pun intended).

Discuss.

[HiPlnsDrftr]

The Brouhaha

Electrify.

At the current moment I would say Live at Pj's. Great Joint.

By Album:

LTI - New Style

PB - 3 Minute Rule / Sounds Of Science

CYH - Live At PJ's / Maestro / Professor Booty

IC - BBoys Makin Wit The Freak Freak / Scoop / Alright Hear This / Heart Attack Man

HN - Grasshopper Unit / Putting Shame In Your Game / Song For The Man

^ OK that was kinda too many, but what AWSOME songs (y)

[abcdefz]

Putting Shame In Your Game



One of their best songs, hands down.

I'd also suggest "Instant Death."

What do you mean by terms of "underrated" ? The one that it is not played by the band live often or something?
Well, since the Beasties have done tons of tracks during all their years of career it's impossible to pick up random rarely played tracks more often than it is now. People rather come to see the popular things played live and yes, they're played. Rather rare things are maximum 3-4 songs per each gig. So if this is "underrated" than according to Beastiemania and various bootlegs recordings, I'll go with:

LTI - whole The New Style ; She's Crafty ; Slow Ride
PB - Like uh, whole damn album played live would be an ultimate orgasm. But: To all The Girls as an opener of the concert; Johnny Ryall, High Plains Drifter, Sound Of Science, CAR THIEF, and .... it'll be a fuck-ing ama-zing thing to see.... B-BOY BOULLAIBASE live - anyway, it's impossible (?), and why haven't they played so much of these portions live? like 59 Chrystie St., Get On The Mic (it would be awesome to do a beatbox improvisation in a small club during the show), more Hello Brooklyn ... well, all the song. I'm crazy.
CYH - Finger Lickin' Good, Stand Together, Live At PJ's.
IC - THE UPDATE, B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak
HN - Sneakin' Out The Hospital, Remote Control, Unite
TT5B - Rhyme The Rhyme Well, Shazam!, Brouhaha, We Got The

[The Ron]

Do it

^ & Professor Booty (y)

[Pootytang]

College Girls are Easy :)

[canucklehead200]

it's no doubt gotta be: Puttin' Shame in yo game, which makes sense because that whole album is incredibly underrated

It's actually the album of theirs I play the most. (y)

[Laver1969]

The Beasties duet with Meat Loaf on "Dead Ringer For Love" is an absolute gem that is often overlooked.

Tell me you're kidding.

[Johnny Railroad]

where can I get this duet as mp3 file ? I never hear about this !

[abcdefz]

It's not true. Had me scared for a minute.

UNITE

(y)

[kleptomaniac]

all of the songs i can think of have been mentioned (lb)

first ones that came to my mind were song for the man and the update.

[kleptomaniac]

also what comes around :D

[Brother McDuff]

oh yeah, and "the scoop". not as much lyrically, but the beat is absolutely bananas.

[dave790]

just a test
slow ride
shambala/bodhisattva vow
live wire
right right now now - lots of TT5B
twenty questions

[kleptomaniac]

bodhisattva vow

forgot this one! and i'll add "i don't know" with "twenty questions" :o


edit: negotiation limerick file & alive (aaaah great video) :)
and maybe it only seems underrated from my point-of-view, but time for livin' - it's awesome :cool:

list could go on forever.

i think everyone's sarcasm detector was a little off today.

wouldn't that be a "quartet" anyway? :confused:

[freetibet]

That's a really good thread (y) It got me thinkin'.


LTI - Brass Monkey

PB - Johnny Ryall (picked one, but the whole album should get more attention)

CYH - Finger Lickin' Good

IC - Futterman's Rule, Do It

HN - The Move, Can't Won't Don't Stop (that's the way it's called on my MC; what's the difference between it and GU (KM) anyway?!); SNEAKIN' OUT THE HOSPITAL

TT5B - umm.. they play like 5 tracks of it; the rest should be played, too, like The Brouhaha or All Lifestyles


[I also agree with other proposals. Beasties should play all the 130-140+ songs at all the gigs!]

[Buck Buck]

Futterman's Rule

Hahaha...yes you're right!

[Brother McDuff]

every song that was not released as a single is underrated. there. I said it.

[Kid Presentable]

No, because most of them are being raved about in this thread. All of you, check your heads and actually listen to a song you don't think of as amazing; Electrify is the single most underrated (that is, not widely carried on about or acknowledged even by the band) piece of work the group have produced.

[-T-]

I dont really know what the most underrated would be, their are so many songs that are awsome. Plus for me too pick is impossible becasue I change my preferences all the time. Yeah I pretty much dont know:confused:

[JobDDT]

Underrated could be by other fans, by the band or by the social music scene in general. Whatever you take it to be.

[Justin]

Live at PJ's. I wish they'd play that live more often (no pun intended).

NICE!!!!

[Bobtwi]

it's no doubt gotta be: Puttin' Shame in yo game, which makes sense because that whole album is incredibly underrated
Puttin Shame in yo game,has to be the most underated of all time.Posse in Effect a close second.I was so fuckin pumped when they opened up with PIE at the NYC show last tour.BTW 3MTA3 your avatar is the shit.

[kleptomaniac]

pie - i don't know if i've ever heard that acronym used before. that's a good one. :D

[Bobtwi]

I never used before.Just came up with it.

[milleson]

Sabrosa

[Justin]

I do agree with the post starter with "live at pj's" being very underated. In fact, its probably my fav song of theres!!!

I also agree with "putting shame in your game" is very underrated.....its in fact my fav song on hello nasty....it's like........"HELLO NASTY WHERE YOU BEEN!?"


Flute Loop as well!



In fact, all of my fav songs seems to be there underrated ones!

[djdjdj]

I say boomin granny. Yeah, thats what I think.

:D

+1

My favorite song from Hello Nasty (y)

[pesto pizza]

shadrach great song and their best ever video.if only this was the first single off paul's boutique things could have been totally different back then.hey ladies great video, poor song.

[laurie_hammy]

Live Wire For Sure !

[Weezman]

Rock Hard

The Scoop

High Plains Drifter

[MC Moot]

If it's just 1: "Do It"that's one that will make me spasm out alone,everytime.....

[JobDDT]

hey ladies great video, poor song.

Disagree'd. That song was fantastic.

[PmF]

Disagree'd. That song was fantastic.
Disagreed but in other way. The video was poor, but song was fantastic.

Futterman's Rule

Yeah. The song was great but I loved the video too. It was hilarious in my opinion, seeing them in disco.

[pm0ney]

Car Thief, probably. But theres so many drug and violence references in that song which is probably why they dont play it live. But man, what a fuckin track.

[laurie_hammy]

Beastie Groove (!)

[lovebeasties]

sounds of science
sabrosa- they are amazing with their instruments!

[AndILoveMike!]

No! Hey ladies is my fav!
Yeah, Istant Death.. It would be strange see Adrock sings sad, when he alwais shouts and acts like a dumb.
A lovely dumb.
Luv so much that song. And Scilken too.

[AdRockGRL]

I already said this a little time ago...I'd love 'em to perform "Fight For your Right" because it's the song that made me fall in love with em (Adam horovitz expecially) when I was 4... So it would be amazing for me to see 'em performin' it live.
BTW i no that's not possible and y....so i guess that I'd love 'em to perform....well...all the rest of the songs that they have..maybe in particular "3 minutes rule"...'cause AdRock' part is amazing!!!!

*blinkin' eyes*

[Brother McDuff]

Start
Futterman's Rule
Son of Neckbone

fuck yeah, futterman's and neckbone are truly gems. transitions too. i still don't get why neckbone was cut from CYH.:confused:

[JohnnyChavello]

It is either 3-Minute Rule or The Scoop.

[canucklehead200]

No, because most of them are being raved about in this thread.

yeah it's funny, i think that this album may contain the 3 most underrated: electrify (absolutely mindblowingly ahead of the time background sounds/beats, we still haven't had mainstream music sound like this yet), remote control (mike's delivery is stunningly good), and puttin shame in yo game is as gangsta sounding as you can get without actually rapping about gangsta topics

[AndILoveMike!]

maybe in particular "3 minutes rule"...'cause AdRock' part is amazing!

Say whaaa? Mike's part is the fuckin' best!!!
