Most beloved Beastie Boys album

1. ug. never liked the beastie boys

i like other hiphop, but they've always just sounded like noise to me

[Kid_A]

2. Of the ones I've heard, "To The 5 Boroughs" is my favorite.

I haven't heard "Paul's Boutique", but I've been told it's their best one. "TTFB" is just an incredible, straight-forward hip-hop record, without any of the genre-bending tracks like on "Ill Communication" and "Hello Nasty".

3. it is obviously licensed to ill

I mean really, "no sleep till brooklyn" "the new style" "brass monkey" how can you compare?

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Hell, "Paul's Boutique" is my most beloved album by anybody...

...to be released between the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1990.

5. This is hard.

"Paul's Boutique" is a great, great album. "Check Your Head" is fun just because they realized they were good once they picked up the instruments. And "Ill Communication" I love because of the time of my life when I listened to it.

The B-Boyz are great. One of the best live shows I've seen: L7 and House of Pain opening for the Beastie Boys. WOOT!

6. Everyone will pick Paul's Boutique because that's the expected

answer. Critics' darling.

But Ill Communication is their best record, followed closely by Check Your Head.

7. sadly I'm the only guy who's voted Check Your Head yet

all future Beastie Boy polls should exclude Paul's Boutique and freak everybody out

8. paul's boutique is one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time..

genius production by the . The samps used on this album are amazing in their depth and quantity. My collection of jazz and funk was deeply influenced by researching the artists that were used. The samp for the opening track, "To all the Girls", is borrowed from Idris Muhammad's "Loran's Dance", and is one of the illest chills you could ever wrap your mind around.
