I think I might have had Beastie Boys "License to Ill" LP when I was a kid. Definitely had the cassette. Almost wore the darn thing out.
I was in the 8th grade when that album came out, I think we spent every bit of free time singing the songs off that album back and forth.

Whenever I hear "Sabotage" on the radio I can't help cranking it up! Has some kind of energy to it. They may not be the most technically adept musicians at playing instruments, but they sure make up for it with feeling.
Totally agree (
Sabotage) and its one of the coolest videos ever made too. I would argue that I find those guys amazingly good with instruments, especially considering they are classified as 'rappers'.

How come "Paul's Boutique" never really hit it big in the States? Could never find that cassette in the stores when I was a kid.
It just didn't get good reviews and I think that hurt it a big. Plus IMO it was more sophisticated than their first album and thus went over the head of the 'pop' scene.
