I find them a boring chore to listen to.
They also have a lot of obnoxious songs such as Intergalactic.

I loved those guys when I was a teenager, but I eventually lost interest. I still think they were cool in their time, though. And Paul's Boutique is kind of amazing.
I was way into "aglio e olio" at one point a long time ago. Beasties definitely have good songs here and there (gratitude, so whatcha want, looking down the barrel of a gun) and are best when they are a live band, but 80% just doesn't work for me.
some of my faves...avoided the Beasties songs we're all burnt out on:
i associate "intergalactic" with having a stupid amount of fun during the summer before senior year of high school, so i enjoy it. never cared for them before, and honestly "sure shot" and "sabotage" make me wince.
so whatever. but what i have learned is when someone says they don't like something here (re: the whole point of this thread in a roundabout way), no one is going to change their mind after you post a string of youtube vids that you happen to like. in fact, chances are the user you're responding to won't bother watching a single one. that's my experience, anyway.

I don't really care if people like the Beastie Boys or not, but I definitely think they were fantastic, especially once you look past the singles (which I also enjoy).
Glenn Hughes is the most gifted vocalist and songwriter to front Black Sabbath, even if The Seventh Star isn't their best album (in the top ten for sure). And his solo albums blow away most of Ozzy and Dio's.
Grimes peaked in 2012.
no way. artangels is so good.
foster the people. i don't know where to put them here. i really like them, especially "sit next to me."
"pumped up kicks" still rules.
This probably isn’t controversial to people here but it is to me, I randomly listened to Korn ‘freak on a leash’ on a Spotify radio channel and I actually really like it, it has a great bass line. Honestly I’ve just dismissed nu-metal without actually listening to most of it.
one thing that will be controversial is that I bought a best of Smashing Pumpkins CD rotten apples on the basis of how much so many people on here love them, great songs, horrible horrible voice. Does his voice grow on you over time?

Id be a big SP fan... if Billy Corgan wasn't the singer. Can't stand his voice. The music is great though.
Korn is far from a "bad" band. They've definitely got some cool stuff on their discography. They seem to get hate/dismissed due to the nu metal tag and being all over TRL back in the day.
I can't think for a moment in a Smashing Pumpkins without Corgan's voice. To me, it's a fundamental aspect of the band's sound.
The Beastie Boys instrumental album/compilation(?) is pretty solid.
i like "right now" a lot. and "here to stay."
Last "good" album they subjectively did by consensus was Untouchables but in my opinion the last "good" album and one of my personal favorites was Take A Look In The Mirror.
First two albums are fire, especially that first one. So dark, fresh and new. I really love Issues as well.
This mostly applies to God Break Down The Door but, I felt that it would be more appropriate to post it here since it can be applied to pretty much anything.
Why do some people like to get wrapped up in some of the most trivial shit?
Every time there is a new release by any band, mostly NIN, there is always someone in contention about irrelevant, tiny, details that they blow out of proportion.
They argue about it to death and somehow like to make it the most significant part of the release?
Who gives a shit if it's labeled as an L.P. or E.P.?
Why can't they just be content that there is something new and unique released instead of the constant nick-picking to the point it barely counts as critique.
It's formulaic at this point and I've read these same complaints every single time there is a new release:
"Oh such and such isn't such and such album"; Then go listen to that album if that is what you want to hear.
"This song sounds similar to this previous existing song and that's why I hate the entire album cause it's pure laziness"; no one is forcing you to listen to it.
"I could have done it better"; Then go do it, I'll wait for you to release it, give it a listen and tell you my honest option about it and see if you can stack up against said artist you are trying to shit all over.
Agreed
ariana grande's new song "no tears left to cry" is fucking AMAZING.
