This week we’re discussing our top 5 most underrated albums we’ve covered on the show. Not only do we feel each of these records are great in their own right, but we’re also outraged that they don’t get the credit and attention they deserve.

On this episode we talk about the Beastie Boys. The Beasties started out as a snotty hardcore punk band in the early 80s before morphing into the party-crazy rappers featured endlessly on KROQ to this day. However, despite the radio choosing only to play the same 4 hits ad nauseam, they were great until the tragic death of founding member Adam Yauch, aka MCA in 2012. If you haven’t heard anything besides the hits, it’s time to give their albums a listen.
Closing track: “Gratitude” from Check Your Head (1992)
