#47 "FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT"
THE BEASTIE BOYS, 1986

CLICK THE ALBUM TO BUY IT AT AMAZON FOR $8.99

There's so much to like about the major label debut single from The Beastie Boys, nearly 20 years ago (how's that for making you feel old?).  The Beasties were babbling on about Partyin' Hard long before Andrew WK even knew what it meant.  From the simple guitar to touching lyrics like "Ahh yer Mom threw away yer best porno mag!", it's a song for the ages.  But that opening, Boh-bowwwwwwwwwww with the bass turned up, that drifts into an electronic hum, and the high pitched "KICK IT" that follows is just great rock and roll.
