Since its an ongoing topic, I thought I would add my favorite band. Although their not everyone's taste, they were my favorite group since I was in 3rd grade. Many to choose from, but this would be my choice.

It's hard to pick just one.

"Flute Loop" is one of my favorites along with "Get It Together" and "Egg Man". There are just so many masterpieces to choose from though.

REM won an MTV best video award one year.... I think it was for "Shiny Happy People." That same year, Sabotage was up for the award, and while accepting it, Michael Stipe said straight up, "Uh, I think there was a mistake, because Sabotage was the best video."

Yet to see a song mentioned that I don't like.

Sabotage
it's hard to pick just one.

I wear my BB shirt from time to time. Bought it from some rock band t shirt place I found on Googles. One sleeve is longer than the other, so I cut them both off.

My wife refuses to be seen with me when I wear it.

I taught my daughter to shake her rump when she was 2-3. All I had to do was say, "I got a peg leg, I stand on my stump-ah!"

She'd go, "Shake your rump-ah!" 3 shakes. I wish I had that on video.

Thats a good one! I used to sing out, "October 31st-that is 'my day of birth", and then one or both of my son's would finish with, "I got to the party, you know I did the Smurf".

Interesting video with the Pink Floyd amp back clips. Have you seen the original Floyd video they got that from? It's actually a full on movie.

Love Get it together...but for me it's so much Q Tip from Tribe Called Quest (who I also really like and saw in 07 at Rock the Bells)

All good...but one of my favs is Pass the Mic

Huge fan. I have seen them in concert three times over the years starting back in 1985. They play their own instruments. I first saw them in a small cafeteria down in Tucson. The Lynch Mob, Ice Cubes old band open up for them.

So sad MCA passed away. Supposedly they will never play again under the Beastie Boys name.

There totally is not a bad Beastie Boy song. Each one is a little different but so true to their form.

I am in possession of the very first CD labeled Polywog Stew. Anybody hear that? It had the original four piece group including a girl.

Here is a good interview with Michael Diamond where he talks about not playing after Yauch. Seems to be in a good place. The video starts w/about 5:00 of discussion of a promo, then goes into some history, then at about 10:30, starts touching on the MCA discussion:

BTW, I had Polywog Stew on vinyl at one time.
