Solid Gold Hits (Remastered - Parental Advisory/+DVD) [PA] - Beastie Boys

Advantages: Interesting and original music, oldschool hip hop breaks
Disadvantages: poor sound quality at times

...The Beastie Boys were one of the hit sounds of the 70's and were originally started by Mike D. Their mix of hip hop and funk brought their music originality and their witty lyrics continue to surprise everyone. They basically did what they wanted, when they wanted and didnt care about anybody elses opinions. They have released many albums but his single has got to be one of their best singles released. Their are 6 tracks on the album. These are the names 1.Sabotage [LP Version] 2. Get It Together [LP Version] 3. Resolution Time 4. Get It Together [Buck Wild Remix] 5. Dope Little Song 6.
