Abstain, too close to call. Both very good. Of their time, sure. I had a good time at that time.

[naughty boy]

Ah yeah.

Later we all graduated to appreciate the adult tones of Chris Isaak

[BARON CORNY DOG]

I have a strong dislike for the Beastie Boys, but oddly enough, don’t mind parts of Check Your Head.

Nevertheless, it will always be “Cannonball” by a country mile.

Cannonball
Pod is the better album with a full Tanya,
Although I like Last Splash too.



The Beasties were interesting for awhile now they sound to me like a novelty act.

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Lots of people always say that about Pod and Last Splash. I disagree of course. I think Last Splash is miles better. Similarly, people trot out nonsense like Belly and Throwing Muses. And, of course, they are no competition whatsoever. Last Splash is the balls.

[fange]

'Cannonball' for me. Not that i don't love 'Sabotage', just not as much.

There is so much youthful vigour on offer here my juices are flowing!

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh

[Charlie O.]

Beastie Boys post-Paul's Boutique is pretty much garbage.

This.

it will always be “Cannonball” by a country mile.

And this.

[fange]

Yeah, but where do stand on 'Wicked Game' Charlie? Makes 'Cannonball' sound like 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm', right?

[Charlie O.]

No comment.

[fange]

You should run for congress, Charlie.

yes they do. I was a bigger fan of Last Splash until around the early 00's. I like them both going to see them in a few weeks only a few miles from office.


In regards to Belly which album then?
Star or King?


I'm a Tanya fan

[sloopjohnc]

Sabotage has a brattish charm but they were at their best when they being sampledelic and funky.

At the time, it was kinda outside their wheelhouse but it did point in the eventual direction they were going to take.

Cannonball is great, start to finish. I like lots of the indie bands of this period, but not a ton of great songs came out of the era, if that makes any sense at all. This was one of them, however.

[pcqgod]

I like these bands, but not these particular tracks.

[naughty boy]

but ask you again tomorrow and you'll like them?

[naughty boy]

He's too diplomatic.

'Cannonball' is fine, but I'm a bit mystified as to its 'indie classic' status ( or maybe it doesn't have that status and it's just JC going on about it on here all the time?). I like its cool, loping feel and because I didn't hear it much at the time it's not played out for me. The Beasties track is just a noise, dreadful rapping too, but it's a really fun video. I've always liked it purely for the video really.

I don't remember mentioning it here before! maybe I did

but it's definitely regarded as one of those once-in-a-generation indie classics and The Breeders, as cool as they are, haven't done anything else anywhere near as good.

[The Modernist]

I seem to remember you did another poll where you pitted it off against 'Freak Scene'.
I like the record...it just doesn't seem that different or superior to a lot of other stuff that was happening in the 90s. For e
example I always really liked some tracks Luscious Jackson did, but they seem totally forgotten today..this is a good'un and has a similar riff.

[naughty boy]

bloody hell

[The Modernist]

What?
