Andrew Tozier I love the Beastie Boys.. But this song sucks. That's why it's underrated. Half the time the drummer seems lost and doesn't even keep with the beat. This is something some teenagers would make in their garage. I had never heard it before now... And now I know why

Listening to this on the 30 year anniversary of the release of Check Your Head. I remember when this record came out, it didn't get anywhere near the appreciation it deserved. Hopefully people can look back at it now and understand how unique and amazing it was especially when grunge music was all the rage at the time. Long live the Beastie Boys.

Cos De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising came out at the same time/got all the credit (class album too). Or, could've been Paul's Boutique - need to check my release dates/years again, lol, but it was one or the other Beastie album (that lost out). 🙂

[@scottplumer3668]

I've never seen a Leslie close up, so I really liked seeing it too. Instead of having "Pink Floyd London" on their cabinets, having "Beastie Boys New York" would have been cool, and it would have made the homage a little less obvious.
