Beastie Boys

Licensed to Ill (Reviewed by Roemello):

The first rap entry in the review section. Actually, this one's more of a rap and rock combo. In either case, it's quite the fun album to listen to with guitar driven classics like "Fight For Your Right" (#7 on the charts) and "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" and the rap classics like "Paul Revere" and "Brass Monkey". And who could forget that cheesy, but somewhat funny little tune, "Girls"
Major faves off this one would be "No Sleep Til Brooklyn", "Fight For Your Right" and "She's Crafty". Overall...a fun album and a great one to get if you like 80's rap with a twist of rock.

Response to this review by Bogie: That was a great album Roem. Nice one.
Also spawned those mega cover versions:

No Sleep Til Bedtime - Morris Minor and The Majors
No Sleep Til Belfast - Stiff Little Fingers.

Response to this review by wavemeister: Yeah...my first contact with 'real' guitars. Used to play it in my car all the way until the stereo had enough and ate the tape.

Response to this review by Ironeagle1: This album kicked some major ass. The two best songs from that particular album was "Brass Monkey" and "Fight for Your Right to Party". I really liked this album very much. The album also defined the 1980s very much.

Response to this review by Trixter: This was the Beastie Boys best album until "Hello Nasty" in the 90's! I caught their act live in 1986, lost my voice, but had the one of the best times! My favorite tracks are :
Fight For Your Right
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Girls
She's Crafty

Response to this review by JS Steele: I also have a cassette copy of Beastie Boys' Licensed To Ill.

My favorite songs from that album are:
Fight For Your Right
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
She's Crafty

Response to this review by Tinajo: Very cool album, Roem... "Brass Monkey" was my fave... and then "Fight For your Right to Party" is my 2nd choice... taught my nephew all of the words to it when he was only 2 years old... if you started a line, he could finish it! It was hilarious! He'd get so into it! I still tease him about it to this day.. (He's 17 now!)
