Adam "MCA" Yauch RIP.

I think everyone is a little shocked about the sad news. Let's do a little retrospective discussion of their best musical moments from each album... Drop some love for what they accomplished.

Doesn't matter if you have all their albums or only one....

Name your favorite track(s) from each album they dropped on us.

Brass Monkey

Shadrach

Jimmy James

Flute Loop/Get It Together/Root Down = Favourite LP of theirs

Son Of Neckbone

Intergalactic

Triple Trouble

I would have a little trouble matching songs to albums right now , but here are some of my favorites.
Egg Raid On Mojo
Holy Snappers
Paul Revere
Brass monkey
Rhymin and stealing
Sure Shot
Hey Ladies
So watcha want ( original & remix with b- real )
Hold it now , hit it
Body movin (fatboy slim remix)
Flute loop
Pass the mic
This list could go on & on... Too many to keep going . The Beasties rock!!! Still a sad day

Wow, I'm checking what's on each and picking one per record is HARD, some of these are super close picks.

License To Ill - Girls. This shit just cracks me up and I think it's the first Beasties song I heard
Paul's Boutique - Hey Ladies
Check Your Head - Pass The Mic. I love MCA's first lines in it, now a bit more.
Ill Communication - Root Down. If you can, pick up the Root Down EP [www.discogs.com] , I got it on CD, the live versions included are so good!
The In Sound From Way Out! - Shambala. Incredibly hard pick.
Hello Nasty - Three MC's and One DJ. Trying to play the scratch drumming parts in it is too much fun, and if my CD was a vinyl it'd probably be unplayable now from all the plays it's got.
To The 5 Boroughs - Triple Trouble
Hot Sauce Committe Part Two - The Larry Routine. There's something about it that just makes me want to rewind it over and over and over and over...

Haven't been able to listen/get The Mix-Up, but from what I've heard it sounds very promising.

They were once my favorite group but grew really tired of them so I sold all their albums I had. From memory it would probably be:

Egg raid on mojo (the first version)
Rhymin & stealin
(Never cared for anything on Paul's Boutique, sue me!)
Pass the mic
Sure shot
3 mc's & 1 dj
