I got a lot of the Beastie Boys albums out from the library and bought a few. The song Neil deGrasse Tyson uses for his podcast is Ch-Check It Out from the To the 5 Boroughs album. I remember the Licenced to Ill album coming out. That was huge. But I wasn't a fan until I saw Awesome: I Fuckin' Shot That concert video. What a great show that was! I still have mixed feelings about the albums, but I have to listen to them a bit more before I really know what I feel.
I'm a cautious Billy Joel fan but that Songs from the Attic live album is something special. It has a very different sound from the polished production of his studio albums.
