That's the spirit !!!

You already understand the essence of the game. I actually like "You Shook Me All Night Long" but most everything else that band does is awful. That lead singer's grating voice is unmistakable. I recently umpired a baseball game at a local high school (Cedar Grove, NJ) where they were playing real loud AC/DC songs in between each inning. It was like torture.

No comment even needed....LOL. To think that "AP" was at one time my favorite record of all time is embarrasing. I still like it for old times sake, but I don't want to hear it more than once every 3 or 4 years.

I'm very happy that you got rid of "Hotel California", too, Savoy. It would have been one of my first choices had you not eliminated it!

157. (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) - Beastie Boys- I can't believe that this is still considered the Beastie Boys best song. That's what you get when people factor pop culture relevance into their lists, because there aren't many people, especially fans of the group, and I bet even the Beasties themselves, who consider this their crowning achievement. It's a novelty song. It's one thing for Allen Sherman to be judged on Hello Muddah, but with the Beastie Boys catalog, it's kind of a shame that this song makes the top 200.

John wrote:157. (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) - Beastie Boys- I can't believe that this is still considered the Beastie Boys best song. That's what you get when people factor pop culture relevance into their lists, because there aren't many people, especially fans of the group, and I bet even the Beasties themselves, who consider this their crowning achievement. It's a novelty song. It's one thing for Allen Sherman to be judged on Hello Muddah, but with the Beastie Boys catalog, it's kind of a shame that this song makes the top 200.
It's their second most acclaimed song on this site, a bit below "Sabotage."

It's their ONLY song on the Rock and Roll HOF list of 500 songs that made rock and roll.

It's their highest ranking, BY FAR, song on the Rolling Stone Top 500, which is voted on by artists and critics and industry people, where it's #191. "Sabotage" is #475. "Fight For Your Right" is also #191 of all time on the RIAA lost, and was their only top 25 single in the USA. "Sabotage" did not even make the top 100.

It's absurd to compare it to "Hello Muddah" where that artist did NOTHING BUT novelty songs. "Fight For Your Right" is not a novelty song. Apparently it's just too mainstream for your tastes.

Our lists on DDD are made for normal rock fans, not elitist hard core fans.

It's not about mainstream, my tastes are somewhat mainstream. Sabotage makes way more sense as the Beastie's finest. Fight For Your Right put the Beastie Boys on the map, but it doesn't even come close to other songs that keep the Beastie Boys relevant today. Like I said, I think critics put way too much emphasis on cultural significance and I think this song is the shining example of that. It was extremely popular and made a huge impact for hip-hop, but it's at the very least on the edge of being a novelty song and shouldn't be the song that defines not only the Beastie Boys, but also early hip-hop. And it really isn't, for most people, Fight For Your Right isn't the Beastie Boys defining song. But, it's in the top 200.

I think you're 100% wrong. If you went up to 100 people on the street and asked them to name a song by the Beastie Boys, "Fight For Your Right" would EASILY be named the most often. I never even heard of "Sabatoge" until today when I did some research following your post. The only other songs I knew by them were "Brass Monkey and "Shake Your Rump."

By the way, the full DDD list is a top 500 and "Sabotage" is #283.

I'm not big into hip hop or the Beastie Boys, but "Sabotage" runs circles around "Fight For Your Right".
Also, "Fight For Your Right" is not on Rolling Stone's list. #191 is "Stayin' Alive".

You've already had your deletion for today. You've got another 4 hours before your next choice. "Strawberry Fields" has a temporary reprieve until then.

I was going to continue voting on this thread. I think it's an interesting game although I would have preferred to do it with the AM Top 200. And not only because we are on AM Forum but because it's a more varied list and nor so biased (no "Love Will Tear Us Apart", no "Waterloo Sunset", not even Bowie on DDD Top 200?). But I'm going to stop voting here mainly because of…

Fight For Your Right put the Beastie Boys on the map, but it doesn't even come close to other songs that keep the Beastie Boys relevant today.

I think you're 100% wrong. If you went up to 100 people on the street and asked them to name a song by the Beastie Boys, "Fight For Your Right" would EASILY be named the most often. I never even heard of "Sabatoge" until today when I did some research following your post. The only other songs I knew by them were "Brass Monkey and "Shake Your Rump."

By the way, the full DDD list is a top 500 and "Sabotage" is #283.

Maybe in the US, in France the 2 most common answers would be Sabotage and Intergalactic (and I'd bet it'd be the same in most European non English speaking countries)

It's not about mainstream, my tastes are somewhat mainstream. Sabotage makes way more sense as the Beastie's finest. Fight For Your Right put the Beastie Boys on the map, but it doesn't even come close to other songs that keep the Beastie Boys relevant today. Like I said, I think critics put way too much emphasis on cultural significance and I think this song is the shining example of that. It was extremely popular and made a huge impact for hip-hop, but it's at the very least on the edge of being a novelty song and shouldn't be the song that defines not only the Beastie Boys, but also early hip-hop. And it really isn't, for most people, Fight For Your Right isn't the Beastie Boys defining song. But, it's in the top 200.
That's funny, because my feelings are almost exact opposite. I do consider Fight For Your Right their best song - primitive punk riff works surprisingly well and chorus hook is simply one of the greatest of all time. It's not as innovative as Paul's Boutique, but it's no less fun, and fun is what we want from hip hop - don't we? Well, guitar solo is a bit pointless, but it's a detail. On the other hand, Sabotage lacks their most dangerous weapon - collective rapping. I consider its success to be at least partly based on iconic video. But, as always, that's matter of taste.

The AM top 200 song list is not even close to being as varied as this list. It is much more biased (toward more modern records and towards white guitar oriented music) and does not feature anywhere near the number of early rock songs on this list. This of course has nothing to do with AM, Henrik is just compiling the biases of the various critics whose lists were used.

In France the most common answer would be "Who are the Beastie Boys?"

"Fight" reached #10 in Holland and #11 in the UK. "Sabotage" reached #19 in the UK and did not crack the top 30 in any other Europeon country (according to Wikipedia).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage_(song)

By the way, France only has about one fifth the population of the USA. And somehow I don't think that hip hop is as popular in France as it is here, mainly because it's almost all in English, and almost all of the genre's big acts are from the USA.

If you didn't eliminate Fight For Your Right I would have. It may be their most iconic song but I consider it godawful. It's a blazing celebration if entitled hedonistic stereotypical jockness and most of it is toneless ear-assaultive screeching. Beastie Boys were such a better band when they decided it was okay to deliver vocals in a way besides loud screeching.

I will eliminate 117. Be-Bop-A-Lula - Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps

I find the vocal style irritating. "Be bop a lula she's my baby A-HUK-A-HUK be bop a lula don't mean maybe A-HUK A-HUK".

"Fight" reached #10 in Holland and #11 in the UK. "Sabotage" reached #19 in the UK and did not crack the top 30 in any other Europeon country (according to Wikipedia).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage_(song)

By the way, France only has about one fifth the population of the USA. And somehow I don't think that hip hop is as popular in France as it is here, mainly because it's almost all in English, and almost all of the genre's big acts are from the USA.
Yeah, I'm glad you know which music French people love more than French persons do. Hip-hop was one of the 2 popular music genres when I was a teen (we had eurodance too which is mostly unfortunate), Mc Solaar, IAM and NTM are among the most successful French artists of the 90s, both in terms of popularity and critical acclaim. Though Mc Solaar seems to be the one who got some critical praise in English speaking country, IAM had members of the Wu Tang join on some songs and IAM vs NTM was as big a fan fight here as Blur vs Oasis could have been in the UK. You won't find a lot of hip-hop songs who've been #1 in France (you'd still have Coolio, Manau twice, Will Smith, Yannick, Mc Solaar, Rhoff...) but a shitload of them in the top 50, as much by French artists as by American ones (Eminem especially was very big, though indeed the Beastie Boys never really were, Intergalactic was a semi-hit but I think that's pretty much all). Rap is still very popular today, we probably have the 2nd biggest scene in the world after the US (though while in the 90s it was vivid AND good, now it's mostly vivid)
And yeah, as surprising as it is, you can rap in other language ! There are hip-hop artists rapping in Spanish, French, Japanese, German or Swedish, who would have though ?

Anyway, the fact that you had never heard Sabotage or pretty much any song by the Beastie Boys just confirm my opinion that whatever you can say about music of the past 40 years is irrelevant and several other posts that you are a bitter self-important person.

It is much more biased (toward more modern records and towards white guitar oriented music) and does not feature anywhere near the number of early rock songs on this list. This of course has nothing to do with AM, Henrik is just compiling the biases of the various critics whose lists were used.

My deepest, darkest music secret is that I don’t like this song. (I guess it had to come out sometime.) The worst part is that I’ve never met a single other person in my life who doesn’t like it, which is sort of proof that I’m missing the boat (and probably flat-out objectively wrong) on this one.

There was irony involved.

I hope you're aware that "Fight For Your Right" is a parody of "bad attitude" songs, and not an actual one.

From Wikipedia-

Ironically, the song, written by Adam Yauch and band friend Tom "Tommy Triphammer" Cushman (who appears in the video), was intended as a parody of party and attitude songs, such as "Smokin' in the Boys Room" and "I Wanna Rock". However, the irony was lost on most listeners. Mike D commented that, "The only thing that upsets me is that we might have reinforced certain values of some people in our audience when our own values were actually totally different. There were tons of guys singing along to 'Fight for Your Right' who were oblivious to the fact it was a total goof on them."

Mike D commented that, "The only thing that upsets me is that we might have reinforced certain values of some people in our audience when our own values were actually totally different. There were tons of guys singing along to 'Fight for Your Right' who were oblivious to the fact it was a total goof on them."
Even if it was intended as ironic, if nobody saw it that way, that's a failure on their part. There's nothing in the song to suggest it's ironic, and the music video that everybody who watched it at the time saw seemed to fit directly and unironically into MTV culture. The only way to know the song is ironic is to be told it is.

And frankly, the lyrics don't annoy me as much as the song itself. All the singing is just this shrill obnoxious shrieking.
