Should the Beastie Boys get in the Rock & Roll HoF?

[kutulu 1,541]

Assuming, you think their rock- and punk-influenced rap would qualify for the "Rock & Roll HoF" do you think they would merit inclusion in it? Using their first full length album they would be eligible in 2011.

 

The Beastie Boys are equally influential in rock and rap music history—their blending of rap and punk rock genres could be seen as a precursor to the rapcore and nu metal genres of the late 1990s, such as Limp Bizkit and KoЯn.The band recognised their influence on the new movements, and expressed their dislike for them in the track Alive, featured in their "The Sounds of Science" anthology ("Created a monster with these rhymes I write / Goatee metal rap please say goodnight").

 

The band was also a leader in the use of sampling techniques—with Paul's Boutique being notable for its effective use of samples. The influence of this album can be seen on Beck's 1996 Odelay album (also produced by the Dust Brothers).

 

In the 90's they were setting trends with mixed skater, hip hop urban wear or as some dub "Skaballer".

 

The chart consistency of the Beastie Boys must also be acknowledged—they have had four albums reach the top of the Billboard album charts: Licensed to Ill, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and To The 5 Boroughs since 1986. Few, if any, of the Beastie Boys' contemporaries have matched this feat.

[drobeski 3,061]

of course not, thats ridiculous

[KSB2424 3,082]

Prolly the hardest group to categorize evah. Growing up in the late 80's early 90's I absolutely loved the Beastie Boys, and would consider them more Rock/Punk than Rap. So I say YES.

It became meaningless once The Lovin' Spoonful got in.

[RicemanX 20]

Yea, never thought rock and roll hall of fame meant anything, I thought it was just an attraction or museum that people can visit.

[Q.Lazzarus 0]

Yes.

No brainer

[Drizzay 643]

Once they did Check Your Head"...you damn right.

[GettnHuge 1]

Am I the only one who is just completely irritated by the mere existence of the 'rock and roll hof'?

It reminds me of random websites or magazines that come up with the top 100 all time whatever lists

which are then reported and we focking argue about. I mean you focking argue about.

Hey, Ladies!

[patweisers44 696]

If Ozzie Smith gets in first ballot, the Beastie Boys should be a lock

[kutulu 1,541]

Dang, I was shitfaced when I bumped this. In fact, I'm still a little buzzed.

[Little Rusty 17]

They should stand in line,...behind all REAL Rock & Roll Bands

 

The Hall is a Joke

[swirvenirvin 25]

Hells yes

[KSB2424 3,082]

They got mad hits like they was Rod Carew.

[gocolts 300]

Why should a one hit wonder get in the HOF

[Riddlen 1]

sure, ther are pretty massive. have you seen them latetly? they turned into three old jews

[KSB2424 3,082]

The Beasite Boys are who we thought they were. Quite simply, fun as hell. Are they some group that will go down as the most earth shattering musical group ever? No. But music doesn't always have to be serious. It can be fun; and the Beastie Boys were really fun music. For a long time.

Since Chaka fuckin Khan was nominated I think it is a fair shake to say the BBs should have a good shot at it.

 

A joke is not a strong enough word to describe the RR HOF

[Savage Beast 1]

Lol, The Jackson 5 got in. This opened the door to anybody with a music video or two in. Like Rod Stewart for example.

 

So why not the Beastie Boys?

[peenie 1,690]

yes, definitely! why not?

[zmanzzzz 1]

hip pop leaves me cold.

[Mungwater 588]

I'm just wondering why gocolts called them a one hit wonder

[drobeski 3,061]

They should stand in line,...behind all REAL Rock & Roll Bands

Winnah

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Sure, why not.

 

It became meaningless when they left Justin Bieber off the ballot last year.
