Ryan is the go to guy about classic rock, but the Beastie Boys don’t escape his scope even with their rap/ punk rock genre. I agree with the fact that they are one of the greatest bands of all time and am surprised that they are not yet part of the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame. My favorite song of theirs has to be “Fight for Your Right” which the sole message of the song is to break all the rules and have a good time. The Beastie Boys refuse to play by the rules and that’s what makes them so great. They have their own original sound that makes them hard to compare with other artists, they are also one of the only bands that can pull off rap/rock and appeal to everyone. They send serious messages in the songs but the videos depict them just having a good time. All of their songs seem to share the theme of chaos and pandemonium. God only knows there is nothing better than a good time with your friends and that’s the whole point to their lyrics, they make you feel invincible and wild. If you haven’t yet experienced this musical rush, I strongly encourage you to buy an album call up some friends and live life.
