Check Your Head is the third studio album by the American hip hop group Beastie Boys, released on April 21, 1992, by Grand Royal and Capitol Records. Three years elapsed between the releases of the band's previous studio album Paul's Boutique (1989) and Check Your Head, which was recorded at the G-Son Studios in Atwater Village in 1991 under the guidance of producer Mario Caldato Jr., the group's third producer in as many albums. Less sample-heavy than their previous records, the album features instrumental contributions from all three members: Adam Horovitz on guitar, Adam Yauch on bass guitar, and Mike Diamond on drums.

This album and Dr. Dre's The Chronic were functions of copyright law changing. Gone were the sound collages by the Bomb Squad of Public Enemy and the Dust Brothers of Beasties' fame; now we got either the band themselves or one-song samples throughout a song. This totally changed hip hop because of one judge's ruling (and the subsequent adoption of that ruling as a national precedent) in the Grand Upright Music, Ltd. vs. Warner Bros. Records, Inc. case that made artists clear every sample (pay the original artist for the publishing rights and sound recording part of the "bundle of rights" in copyright law). Never has a judicial decision changed music quite as much as the ruling against Biz Markie with the imploring language of "Thou shalt not steal."
Check Your Head, maybe even more than the Beasties' experimentalism, was fueled by this change in the law.
And a welcome change and excellent album it was!

I grew up the son of two West Virginian parents. My grandfather sang in the church choir, and also sang in a harmonizing group that sang a lot of the songs on this soundtrack. It's music from my past that I haven't heard elsewhere and it's nostalgic. While Man of Constant Sorrow was featured the most, I'd pick Down to the River to Pray as the song of the album.

Forgot I rated it that high. I remember Sober from MTV and then I was hanging out at some friends getting baked and they put the entire CD on and I ended up getting my own copy shortly after
Always though the bonus track Disgustipated being track 69 was a nice Easter egg (especially as a teenager), tempted to go with that one for the playlist but not sure what version is on Spotify because the album track “ends at 6:45. Sounds of crickets chirping can be heard for 7 minutes and 5 seconds, then at 13:50 a hidden message plays while the crickets continue until the end”
Sober was their first hit and I think Swamp Song and Intolerance are both great (all the songs are good and no interludes like some of their other albums) but I’ll go with Prison Sex for the setlist.

Close to the Edge is the fifth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in the UK on 8 September 1972 and in the US on 13 September 1972, by Atlantic Records. It is their last album until Union (1991) to feature original drummer Bill Bruford, who found the album particularly laborious to make and felt unable to contribute better ideas, which influenced his decision to join King Crimson once recording had finished.
Close to the Edge became the band's greatest commercial success at the time of release, reaching No. 4 in the UK and No. 3 in the US, where it sold over one million copies.

I'm not a big hip hop fan, never have been. But when "So What Cha Want" came out, it was obvious that the Beastie Boys were taking hip hop to a whole new level. This video marked a turning point in my perspective on rap, and my appreciation that there could be true genius and artistry in a genre that I had never really given credit to before this. Not that I didn't love some earlier rap, but it never really rose to the level of artistic endeavor in my mind. More like beat box cultural or rhythmic experimentation. This was every bit as innovative and groundbreaking as the Run-DMC/Aerosmith collaboration had been 6 years earlier, at least from this layman's perspective looking at it from the outside in.227 (tie).

I get that many dislike the excess of prog rock, but Close to the Edge was as good as it got in the early 70s for full-blown prog rock.
And You And I is on my short list of favorite songs ever (and my playlist pick, if I am doing it right haha).

This and Genesis’ Selling England by the Pound (a pick of mine that surfaced earlier) are as good as early ‘70s prog gets.
This record actually achieved what a lot of the proggers of the era aspired to: a seamless, majestic and beautiful recording, with no filler, that holds up to the best classical and jazz records.

I think several things led to the decline of '70s prog: running out of ideas, in-band squabbles, dope, Lee Abrams, and others.
In my opinion, Eno took a really smart route by doubling down on sounds and saying "screw hit records". Tangerine Dream did the same.
It may sound odd, but disco actually took a lot of art rock and used it just as well as the originators.

As rockaction mentioned earlier, the IP laws threw hip-hop into a pretty seismic shift at the time. I was curious and a bit concerned how Beastie Boys was going to adjust at the time since they were so sample heavy in their 80s albums.227 (tie). Check Your Head – Beastie Boys (117 points)

Check Your Head is definitely one of those “remember where you were” albums when I first listened to it. It was such a new, refreshing sound that perfectly blended their hip-hop bonafides with their punk roots, with the band members providing the instrumental backing throughout the album.
Check Your Head as an album was an incredible mix of a rock album (with songs flowing seamlessly together, hard rocking jams and instrumental interludes) and a hip-hop album (with skits and massive hits).
Here were the songs from this album on my MAD countdown:
3- So What’cha Want
6- Pass the Mic
8- Jimmy James
11- Stand Together
15- Finger Lickin’ Good
27- Gratitude
(With Professor Booty and Groove Holmes near misses)

Station to Station is the tenth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 23 January 1976 through RCA Records. Regarded as one of his most significant works, the album was the vehicle for Bowie's performance persona the Thin White Duke. Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, Station to Station was mainly recorded at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California, in late 1975, after Bowie completed shooting the film The Man Who Fell to Earth; the cover art featured a still from the film. During the sessions, Bowie was suffering from various drug addictions, most prominently cocaine, and later said that he recalled almost nothing of the production.

It would be hard for me to overstate the impact this album had on me. I am a child of the 70s and 80s, and Simon & Garfunkel did this reunion concert when I was only 10 years old. My mom was an S&G fan and had all 5 of their albums. She was a big fan of this concert tape as well and listened to it a lot in the years after it came out.
As for me, I was more than happy to make fun of the duo. It was too easy really - the name "Garfunkel", Art's hair, the artsy album covers, folkiness of the music, and just the allure of being a contrarian (aka snotnosed brat). But then about 5 years after this concert, Paul came out with a solo album that was a pretty big hit. It got my attention, and caused me to listen to S&G in earnest with fresh ears. I played this tape over and over over the next few years and developed a deep, deep appreciation for Paul Simon and both his solo and especially the Simon and Garfunkel catalogues. I've seen Paul Simon live 4 or 5 times since then, including taking my mom to see the Old Friends tour which was a great experience in itself that I'll probably write more about later. One thing about Paul Simon is that he was always rearranging, tweaking, adding to and taking away from the album versions of his songs, and as a result his concerts have always had a freshness and liveliness that goes beyond the typical rehashing of greatest hits that you normally get out of a performer who's been doing it for as long as he has.
As far as a song from this album, I'm definitely open to whatever @simey and @jwb have to say. My initial thought was to pick from among "Homeward Bound", "America", and "American Tune". If I have to pick one, I'd go with the first - both because the arrangement and harmonies are better than the album version imo and also because it's one of the only tracks where you can hear Simon addressing the crowd after the song ends, thanking the police department, the fire department, the parks commissioner, the mayor, and "the guys who are selling loose joints".

"Homeward Bound" is my favorite song by them, so it's fine by me to choose that one. I also like "The Boxer" version with the added verse.
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
That's not unusual
No, it isn't strange

I have a feeling this would have made my theoretical top 70. I have often said ZZ Top walked so SRV could run. I understand the hyperbole, but the groundswell of Texas blues rock originated here (in my mind). I find my way back to this album often and then weave my way back to Stevie with the same thread.

Ok maybe I'll suggest a different direction. What if we went with "Wake Up Little Susie"? Here's my story:
Paul Simon was always a big Everly Brothers fan. They even included "Bye Bye Love" on the Bridge Over Troubled Water album (their final studio album before disbanding). When I took my mom to the Old Friends tour at the Rosemont Horizon in 2003, the Everly Brothers toured with S&G. At one point in the show, they joined S&G on stage. The four sang "Bye Bye Love" together, then S&G left the stage and the Everly Brothers sang a few more of their originals on their own.
The cool thing was that because of the way the stage was built, the "back stage" area was behind the stage and down some stairs, and covered by a curtain access. During the Everly Brothers' set, Art was nowhere to be seen (don't get me started), but Paul was clearly having the time of his life. After he and Art left the stage, he stood at the bottom of those steps leaning up against the stage and watched the Everly Brothers throughout their set. It was so cool to see Paul Simon fan boy'ing out and he obviously had a great appreciation for their music. It always was obvious that the Everly Brothers had a huge impact on Simon and Garfunkel's music, and it was awesome seeing Paul Simon acknowledging that both by giving them stage time and also seeing his face light up as he became an audience member for a few songs.
eta: Simon and Garfunkel's version of "Wake Up Little Susie" was released as a single in 1987 and reached #27 on the billboard chart - making it their last top 40 hit.

Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, Station to Station was mainly recorded at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California, in late 1975, after Bowie completed shooting the film The Man Who Fell to Earth; the cover art featured a still from the film. During the sessions, Bowie was suffering from various drug addictions, most prominently cocaine, and later said that he recalled almost nothing of the production.
Two Bowie albums made my list and this wasn't one of them, but had I been able to go 3 or 4 deep, it would have made it. Word on a Wing and Stay are both absolutely incredible.
Need to see what’s in my library and probably add some stuff

I’m afraid to see how much @kupcho1 and @Dr. Octopus had to deal with on the one Bowie album I have on my list. Hoping I did it correctly but I’m sure I probably messed it up.I didn't really come around on this album in a big way until the last few years; I am a big fan now, though!222 (tie).

Chairs Missing is the second studio album by the English rock band Wire. It was released on 8 September 1978 through Harvest Records. It uses more developed song structures than the minimalist punk rock of the group's first album. The record was met with widespread critical acclaim.
The album peaked at number 48 in the UK Albums Chart. The single "Outdoor Miner" was a minor hit, peaking at number 51 in the UK singles chart.
