10 Rock Albums That Were Stuck In Development Hell

10. Hot Sauce Committee Part Two - Beastie Boys

Rap rock idols Beastie Boys may have had their heyday in the 80s and 90s, but they were still releasing albums well into the 21st century.

The trio have put out three new works post-2000 with the final one being Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Now, you might be thinking that the album that proceeded this was called Hot Sauce Committee Part One.

You would be thinking wrong.

Material for the proposed two-part release was recorded between 2008 and 2009, but plans changed when member Adam "MCA" Yauch got diagnosed with cancer.

Part One was actually ready to go with artwork and everything. However, the news of Yauch's illness meant that its release date just kept getting pushed back.

In 2010, the band announced that Part One was going to be put on the shelf. Then, after almost three years of waiting, Part Two finally hit shelves in May 2011.

Unfortunately, Yauch passed away in 2012, meaning that this will likely be the final Beastie Boys album we'll ever hear.

Still, putting out an album titled "Part Two" without ever putting out Part One is a fitting legacy for one of rock's greatest groups of mischief makers.
