IGotWorms 3,326 Posted April 25 False. A “boy band” is one where the boys are selected and put together by a producer, who basically controls everything about the band. Also their music is written by other people who are simply trying to appeal to the greatest number of people. In other words, there is nothing real or organic about them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong as always, my friend: Beastie Boys[a] were an American hip hop/rap rock[2] group from New York City, formed in 1981.[3]The group was composed of Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitar), Adam "MCA" Yauch(vocals, bass), and Michael "Mike D" Diamond(vocals, drums, programming). Beastie Boys were formed out of members of experimental hardcore punk band The Young Aborigines, which was formed in 1979, with Diamond on drums, Jeremy Shatan on bass guitar, John Berry on guitar, and Kate Schellenbach later joining on percussion.[4]When Shatan left New York City in the summer of 1981, Yauch replaced him on bass and the resulting band was named Beastie Boys. Berry left shortly thereafter and was replaced by Horovitz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, there is nothing real or organic about them Which doesn't mean a manufactured "boy band" can't turn out to be good (see The Monkees). That said, whatever one thinks of their music, The Beastie Boys do not come close to qualifying as a boy band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeachGuy23 527 Posted April 25 Some terrible takes in here. The Beastie Boys were an extremely influential rap act who changed their musical style album after album. They could have stayed the kind of pop rap that made License To Ill a 10M seller. Instead they swapped producers and started making music they thought was innovative rather than what would sell the best. And did someone really dare to disparage the Ramones? Yeesh this place just has terrible take after terrible take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
