I'm sure you guys have heard by now. Adam Yauch, AKA MCA from the Beastie Boys passed away from cancer.
What are your favorite Beastie Boys songs?

Very sad to hear of his passing. He's done a lot of good work musically and for charity/causes. I only know the singles really, but I'd have to say my favorite is still Fight for Your Right. It's the first Beastie Boys song I heard.

This makes me so sad. Might be an unpopular opinion, but my favorite Beastie Boys song was always "Brass Monkey." It was quite popular when I was younger and they were always playing it on the radio. Funny story... At some point- I was probably four - I started belting out the song in the middle of a family reunion, horrifying my grandma, but ensuring that my uncle (who thought it was hilarious) would buy me every Beastie Boys album from that point on. RIP MCA. I've got some great Beastie Boys memories... Wish I would have had a chance to see them live. :/

I actually like Brass Monkey. It was almost always on our warm up tape for basketball games when I was in middle school.

Yeah what a shame. That's an end of an era. I don't have a favorite song, but "Paul's boutique" is on my all time top 10 albums list.

This is really sad...The only album I own by them is Ill Communication and I really like it. I was planning to buy more for a long time.

Wish I could have seen them live. Not sure that I have a favorite song, but some have stuck out in particular memories. My ex played "Cookie puss" for me in his bedroom one day in high school and we were cracking up. We were probably just babies when that song came out. My dad used to play their stuff all the time. My little sister and I would laugh and sing along to "Girls" whenever it came on the radio in the car. One day on the way to downtown L.A. for work, KROQ—maybe during the Kevin & Bean show?—played "Girls" but it had some random computerized-ish voice dubbed over to say "Squirrels" instead of "girls," which was hilarious the first few times and then quickly got old. Random!
R.I.P., MCA.
