I maintain no band has aged quite as poorly as the Beastie Boys.

I could buy that


I still Enjoy Paul’s Boutique, Check your head and Licensed to ill…


I think when a band is ubiquitous and defines a decade like the Beastie Boys in the 1990s - music, fashion and culture-it becomes hard to age well.

86-96
things before and after this period...meh
you're never going to win Jules over on this one, I think they gave him a wedgie in junior high and he's still holding that grudge

but you missed The In Sound from Way Out! (yes just a compilation, but a great listen nonetheless) and Ill Communication

I'm a broken record on this...but this Audio book was top 5 I've listened to

I would say Band of Horses. Awful band.

I always get them mixed up

I meant Ill Communication!

I am borderline on Licensed to ill

One wonders if Yauch had lived would they have managed to reinvent themselves… seems unlikely but not impossible…

hard to say, they definitely had a whole decade of mediocre music after 96
I'd like to think they would have...

Hello nasty has to be amongst the albums that most disappointed me… the wait from Ill Communication felt interminable and then Intergalactic…ugh


I rank it with Wild Mood Swings, Republic

Liked it in its day. Came across it when I had a radio show in the early 00s and put it on. Hard cringe.

Aged poorly implies it wasn’t gauche from day one but is now. Not the case with … whatever that is.
