150+ songs "completely" original, but it is one damn amazing album.

I remember I had just gotten to my apartment a bit early prior to my sophomore year of college. I picked up the CD at Tower Records, broke out the ol' Graffix and slapped on my headphones and settled in for all of the tasty tracks. Definitely a record best enjoyed with quality headphones.
That's crazy

Great music...

You ask any 18 year older about PB...they would have no idea.

For the most part I hate the music when I was younger....PB was a high point.

Paul's Boutique was very ahead of its time (Dust Bros. a huge part of this). Car Thief is a top 5 BB song. It was just such a departure from License to Ill which, while iconic, is a pretty silly album and not all that impressive from a musical standpoint.

It's second to Hello Nasty IMV, but Paul's Boutique is just a fantastic album.
was listening to

An Open Letter to NYC and decided to check BBI. Saw this thread and next song on this playlist is Hey Ladies. Great stuff.
What makes me feel even

older is this was three years after Licensed to Ill.

Which is among my all-time greats.

Paul's Boutique was great, Licensed to Ill was better IMO.

And we are almost 20 years from Ill Communication

May of 1994. This one is probably my favorite Beastie Boys album, I remember buying the green cassette tape when it was released.

I remember being laid up with a bad knee in the summer of '89, and laughing my a** off when the video for "Hey Ladies" came on MTV (knew nothing about the BB's). Finally caught on to them when Check Your Head came out... good stuff.
