I have to disagree here. Before I begin my defense I have albums by all four (7 in total). Beastie Boys are a very acquired taste. They garnered a reputation in the mid/late 80's as a frat boy rock band using hip hop vocal delivery. Of course this is definitely not the case, and it is a rare case of producer Rick Rubin trying to steer the band in an uncomfortable direction. Their roots are in punk hardcore and Hip Hop. However they are not as revered as they should be (especialy in Britain).

A lot of people dislike the pop music formulae that The Ramones were so good at. Their music is dismissed as 2 minute workouts that all sound the same.

I am not saying that it is right. Every fooker should have at least a Clash album in their collection lol.

I think what we WANT people to own and what they actually have is vastly different and the number of artists that are common factors are definitely less than double figures.

I think everyone should own The Empire Strikes First or New Maps Of Hell by Bad Religion, but I doubt anyone'll agree. Also, at least something by The Shins, Victor Wooten, The Clash, Jim Hall, John Coltrane, etc... But again, I doubt people would agree with that.

I think OK Computer is a fairly safe bet but the answer to this should be The Beatles - Revolver. If you don't have that in your collection you're pretty much ghey.

both of those albums are pretentious arty shite

Just my opinion of course, welcome to MB

How is Revolver pretentious? I mean it's basically the original power pop album and was completely original for its time and has held up quite well.

Thanks for the welcome MJ. This looks like a quality forum and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Power Pop? Revolver? Well, whatever...

Yeah...It's noted as being the first real power pop album. Not to today's standards but I can definitely hear the beginnings of PP in "And Your Bird Can Sing.

loz. you're kidding, right? this forum's full of tool haters, last time i checked.

i don't like tool either, but it just so happens that i did own a copy of aenema at one point. so personally i'm unable to disprove what you said.

those types of songs off revolver are not particularly different in style from slightly earlier beatles efforts.

And Your Bird Can Sing
I Want To Tell You
Got To Get You Into My Life

those are the only three tracks i can see as interpretably encompassing what you said.

She Said She Said is the closest example I can think of.
