When the Beastie Boys released, "To The 5 Buroughs" George W. Bush was president. There is a reference to the ex-president in one of the songs with a line that says, "we got a president we didn't elect." At one point in time political music was more important than it is right now. During the late 90s and early 2000s many successful artists including rap, rock and pop music stood on a platform that centered on political agendas based on the lyrics and stylistic approach ... read more
I grew up listening to this album. I like a lot of the songs on the Three Dog Night Greatest Hits album.

Go to any city in America around the time of this album and you would find a band like this one trying to make it and these guys did.

Amongst a wave of rock bands during this time the album ... read more
