Sign in to disble this ad
There have been very few acts that have completely obliterated demographic appeal, and have ended up in just about everyone's music collection somewhere. The Beastie Boys are on that list for sure. The career spans decades, and GAzillions of records world wide, so I ask the following question: Do you own any Brooklyn's finest? And what are some other bands that would be on this list beyond the obvious like Beatles/Stones/Who?

Great appeal, they go down as well with a group of 20 year olds on a night out in Rochdale as they do with an old school metalhead (me). And my Dad likes them and they're not Hawkwind, so they have to be doing soemthing right...

Def Lepard
Elton John
Michael Jackson
Janet Jackson
Prince
Queen
Madonna
to a lesser degree
Devo
Sade
All have crossover appeal. Both Queen and Elton scored high on the Black charts in the 70's.
Support for Beasties being universally accepted:
Until recently my ring tone was "Brass Monkey" and I got comments or singalongs from everyone who heard it. Age, race, social group -- didn't matter. Everyone.

Associate of Cusack Effects | | | | | I hated them when they first came out, pegging them as a white rap fad.
Then Check Your Head came out in 1992...
"So What'cha Want" and "Something's Got to Give" won me over, and now I am a Beastie Boys fanatic.
And they kicked the door open in my mind when it came to Rap and Hip Hop in general.

Prince - DEFINITELY!
