Rage and the Beastie Boys both existed before this album was even recorded. |
True but Rage wasn't popular at the time of BSSM's recording. On the other hand, The Beastie Boys were. But it doesn't matter. BSSM was certainly an influential album. Nobody's denying that. But should importance = greatness? I tend to agree with the notion: it isn't about who does something first, it's about who does it best. _________________ on such a winter's day
