(December 2015) I have completed episode 71 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to a band’s full discography. This episode: THE BEASTIE BOYS. Their worst, yet most popular, song — (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!) — turned me off to them for a decade. But I came around to love their creativity, ingenuity, attitude and diversity: rap, rock, funk, hip hop, punk … even country, reggae and mellow. And the sampling, oh my.
