ive made similar comments before but, name one rock song from the beastie boys? lets just rename the thing to the rock and pop hall of fame or let someone else create a hall of fame for the non-rock acts.
The Beastie Boys were rock/punk rock band before they started doing any "rap"/hiphop. That said, a ton of their songs are rock. I don't know of too many other bands that have been able to fuse so many genres of music. On one album, you can get rap songs, rock, funk, soul...then they release an entire instrumental album (The Mix Up). Also listen to "The In Sound from Way Out"...another instrumental release.
What makes a "rock" band? They play guitar, drums, bass, piano, various other instruments....I guess I'm missing something.... :?
