Arrow What are your Top 7 Beastie Boys Songs of all time?

After seeing a 1,235% increase in Beastie Boys albums sales last week, i was intrigued by the Top 7 songs downloaded;
  1. Brass Monkey with 15,000
  2. (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) with 14,000
  3. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" was third 14,000
  4. "Sabotage" 14,000
  5. "Intergalactic" 12,000
  6. "Paul Revere" 11,000
  7. "So What'cha Want" 11,000

and it got me to wondering about what your Top 7 Beastie Boys Songs of all time might be?:

I got to say, I'm kinda surprised by this top 7.
I NEVER listen to Licensed to ill... And I find it sad that people remember the beastie boys by this album, when the other albums are so much better (more interesting, more inspiring, etc).

My top 7 would be:
so what'cha want
the sounds of science
the maestro
get it together
super disco breakin'
the brouhaha
sure shot

(really hard to pick only 7)

4- Car Thief

5- Paul Revere

6- 3 Minute Rule

7- The New Style.

Also, I dont mean to call out Frenchgirl, but I dont like the stigma that Licensed to Ill has around these forums. Its one of the best albums of all time.



Thats insane, you're stupid...you should sleep late man, it's just much easier on your constitution.

In no particular order (and this can change on any given day):

Looking Down The Barrel of a Gun
Skills To Pay The Bills
The Negotiation Limerick File
Car Thief
Stand Together
Putting Shame In Your Game

...one might say that the Beastie Boy "Fight for Your Right to Party" guy is a hypocrite. Well, maybe; but in this fucked up world all you can hope for is change, and I'd rather be a hypocrite to you than a zombie forever.

You are right about that my friend, and what a great album it will always be, I hope it gets to Diamond status as it deserves.

Oooohhhh so hard!!! Made me think lots... smile onmy face thinking... love these songs, but as a previous poster said, could be subject to change on any given day!

1) Pass the Mic (hands down, all time fave, my soul song)
2) Negotiation Limerick File (would have loved to hear it live...)
3) Sure Shot
4) Transitions (hits me hard)
5) Bodhisattva Vow (with Shambala lead-in... perfection when it drops)
6) Shake Your Rump
7) Paul Revere (I can do the whole thing, all 3 parts, without missing a word, but only when I've had a few! lol)

.... and soooo many others.... awesome trip.



....I've Been Coming To Where I Am From The Get Go
Find That I Can Groove With The Beat When I Let Go
So Put Your Worries On Hold
Get Up And Groove With The Rhythm In Your Soul....

1) Shadrach (Gutted that I never saw them play this one live )
2) Do It
3) Gratitude (That bassline *drool*)
4) Something's Got To Give
5) The Maestro
6) Hey Ladies
7) Remote Control (Love the way it comes in from The Move)


That's about it at the present time, although it's shifted around considerably over the years.

At a show in 2003 they were canvassing the crowd before the show asking ppl what they would like to hear them play... it was #1 on my list but they didn't play it But it was awesome because they showed the request footage on huge screens during the show and ppl were stoked to hear them play what they'd asked for. Such an effin' cool band... xo
