[1995] Beastie Boys, "Aglio e Olio"

Why?: This is my wife's. I was very slow getting into Beastie Boys, only starting to see the light after Intergalactic.

Tell me more!:
"Aglio e Olio" is a very short EP of sub-two-minute hard-core punk songs. I've always been impressed that BB had this instrumental side to them, and loved the fact they played instruments on a lot of their most famous raps, but the hard-core punk side was a shock when I discovered it.

Musically, this isn't really my thing. I like how rough it sounds, especially the drums. It's like you're in the room with them, kicking the walls.

But... not really my thing. Big points for very short songs.
