Poor post, mate. You'll be hard pressed to name many more creative groups than the Beasties.

If anything, I'd deem them as underrated. The fact that you regard 'Brass Monkey' as their defining achievement says a lot about this.

PS. Didn't Miles Davis call PB one of his favourite albums? I know this should be irrelevant, but seeing as you threw the collective "we" in there I thought I'd bring it up.
