50 Definitive Beastie Boys Songs

11. Unite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HoNjDMKAndE This has to be, without a doubt, the most underrated Beastie Boys song of all time. Its bouncy beat and repeating piano and organ riffs make it impossible to not bob your head or tap your foot. It also has some of the most memorable and fun rhymes out of all their songs. Stand out line: "If you got bad breath, then maybe try Scope/And if you wash your ass, you best use soap"

10. Rock Hard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsVAOjVYQnY The number ten spot would be a good time to introduce everyone to the song that marked the beginning of the style of music that would make the Beastie Boys famous. Unless you are a hardcore Beastie fan, you most likely are not even aware that this song exists. That is because when it was released (their first major label single), it was promptly removed due to the uncleared sample of AC/DC's "Back In Black". As you will hear, this song rocks, hard. Stand out line: "When we board your ship, you better hit the deck/You'll walk the plank for your disrespect"

9. Something's Got To Give

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teQqelBTw7g This track is the Beastie Boys at their most psychedelic. Featuring a combination of live instruments and loops of old demos of the guys just jamming, "Something's Got To Give" was one of the first songs to show that the Beastie Boys were more than just rappers or punks.
