The Top Ten

1 Sabotage

This song has so much energy to it!

Easily there best, ^^ one of my all time favorite Rap/Rock Songs.

The Maestro is my all time favorite but not mainstream enough. This song is original in every way. Top three for me.

I expect this one to be first. - Feirceraven

4 So What'cha Want

Love this song. Actually, I love all of their songs. I love the beginning, the middle, the end. EVERYTHING about this song is great. If I were stuck in a cave, and I could only have two things, it'd be a CD Player and any Beastie Boys album because they are all great. R.I.P MCA - Cyzero

Dark, heavy and delicious. Everything I love in a song... It's "Sweeter than a cherry pie with ready whip topping ironically enough!

Most Classic song from beastie boys ever men! I started Hip Hop with this song my favorite by far yeah

Awesome just plain awesome

5 Intergalactic

Should be 2nd behind Sabotage. No-one can argue with Sabotage but this isn't far behind.

I agree this should right behind Sabotage and Fight for your Right should be behind this. Their new music should up near the top as well.

If you want to battle your in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile.

If you say this song sucks you'll get mocked/I'll stir fry you in my wok

As the Beastie Boys never said

7 Paul Revere

tells how the b-boys met in a goofy little rap/rytme thing. - nikkicherry15

"Now here's a little story I've got to tell... " :D

This song is sick

8 Brass Monkey

This is certainly one of the top5 hottest is not their #1 song of all times.

This song is funny - Jackal2272

9 Sure Shot

Yeah right. This is pure Beastie Boys. We are not going to be having a top ten without this one.

This should be number one. Never tire of this tune!

The beats alone make this song a classic.

This song is just a sure shot.

10 Ch-Check It Out

This song is what hip-hop should be. All three drop in and kill their rhyme. This is song bumps in any car. You all should ch-check it out.

Most explicit one, has a great beat and wonderful rhymes

The Contenders

11 Hey Ladies
12 Shake Your Rump

I'm listening to this right now. This so so amazing it predicted the future sound of music and has amazing lyrics and flow.

Examples:
"I got more rhymes than Jamaican's got mangos"
"Like Fred Flintstone driving around with bald feet"
"Make another record because people say they want more of this, suckas saying they can take out Adam Horovitz."

This is so underrated.

13 Car Thief

Masterpiece. Dope synth samples create an melanchonic view on the late 89s American lifestyle.

14 Gratitude

Great bass riff is just so catchy. This song is just everything that's good about the Beastie Boys.

Come on! The riff in it is just so sexy! Don't pretend you don't like it!

15 Rhymin' and Stealin'

This song helped found the modern rap-rock/metal tone. Great rhythm, catchy drums and a talented guitarist.

The best. I love it

The pistol is loaded. I shot Betty Crocker. Deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davy Jones locker. Rhymin and Stealin in a drunken state and I'll be rocking my rhymes all the way to Hell's Gate.

"Well I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest! "

16 Girls

Girls
All I really want is Girls
I'm a girl listening to this song yet I still love it. It's actually pretty funny. Just listen to the song. (Hope there's a sample for you guys to listen to because this song is still epic no matter who listens to it. )

Such a good song. I love this song and I'm a girl. Is this song sexist? Maybe. But, it's funny and it's a pretty good song. One of their best I think.

This song makes me laugh each time it's catchy, the xylophone is fun, the lyrics are fun, it's just a fun song not to be taken seriously

First song I heard by them. It's my personal favorite.

17 Right Right Now Now
18 Egg Man

I'm the Egg Man, Taxi Driver, I'm the Egg Man. - JCHOW

19 High Plains Drifter
20 The New Style

How is this not top 5!? Such a great song with clever lyrics

This should be in top ten, I love the end

21 Get It Together

This is an amazing song, Q-Tip and The Beastie Boys make a fantastic trio!

This is the best hiphop song I've ever listened to

I'm like Ma Bell- I gots the Ill Communication - Bboymakinwitthefrekfreak

22 Lee Majors Come Again

Cool and stuff underrated song but very good

Should be higher, personal favorite of them

23 Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun

Way too low on the list. This is easily a top 10 BB song.

" 24 is my age 22 is my gauge! "

24 Root Down

I KICK IT ROOT DOWN! I PUT MY ROOT DOWN!

25 B-Boy Makin' With the Freak Freak
26 Pass the Mic

Good very good I like

I'm the A-D-R-O-C-K, definitely the best song. Has no swearing, a good tune, and the beastie boys are rocking a block party till y'all hair turns grey.

27 The Sounds of Science
28 Song for the Man
29 Too Many Rappers

One of the coolest rap ever heard... Nas is there and Beastie boys are there too... what else can you ask for?

30 Triple Trouble
31 Time to Get Ill

Number 23?! Should be top ten definitely. Can't argue with Sabotage as number 1 though

32 Johnny Ryall
33 Slow and Low
34 Time for Livin'
35 Crawlspace
36 Super Disco Breakin'
37 Body Movin'

BODY MOVIN'!

38 Professor Booty

Sick ass song! No cutting inbetween each others raps or switching on and off like their normal badass stuff. Adrock kicks it, then Mike D dopes it up, and then MCA just goes hard!

39 An Open Letter to NYC

best

40 Hold It Now, Hit It

A touchstone of rap dynamics - relevatory

41 Flute Loop

This is the best

42 She's Crafty

The beat... the riff...

One of my favorite songs

43 Stand Together
44 Sabrosa
45 Alive
46 Here's a little Something for Ya'
47 I Don't Know

BEAUTIFUL song by MCA. Not their usual genre so it makes it even more special. Love it. May he rest in peace R.I. P MCA, my fave beastie
