Beast Boys album Licensed to Ill
 

I don't know why it's taken until tonight for me to finally get and listen to this album but god damn, it is good. 80's were pretty damn shitty for music but this is really good.

all right we'll see you buddy
have a good one

if i could only listen to one decade of music, it would be the 80's. if i had to choose five years, it would be 1979-84.

yeah the 80s underground was amazing

and the british have better mainstream rock than americans do pretty much always

we're all in agreement that the late 90s and early "Aughts" were the biggest bullshit period for music right

anyway we'll catch you later banana
take care man

1980 was an amazing year for music. Lots of great new wave / post-punk stuff. The only other years that come even close for rock music would be 1967 and 1991.

1980: Remain In Light, Crocodiles, Closer, Boy, I Just Can't Stop It, Seventeen Seconds, Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Zenyatta Mondatta

ok man

How much better would this thread have been if no one replied? It went for a day w no replies and I chuckled at the thought that maybe Banana would think he was on ignore.

sleater kinney

i wasn't saying that there was no good music released during the time span

probably more than there is now.

but didn't you say it sucked then too i mean

Well fuck this is depressing news. Right when I was really starting to get into them and appreciate their music. At least I got to see him and the other Beastie Boys perform at Bonnaroo a few years ago.

...:(

RIP Adam Yauch aka MCA

Fuck :( Their last album was great. RIP Adam.

I'm not at all a fan of their material from the 80s. But I like most of their singles from the 90s especially So What'cha Want, Sure Shot, and Intergalactic.

Root Down!

i got into them with DJ lance lockarm's mashup of my bloody valentine - i only said and beastie's so whatcha want, dubbed s'wash ya wart...but i only familiarized myself with ill communication so far..man, flute loop is the shit
