Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys has been a passionate record collector for years. The list he submitted for our 500 Greatest Albums poll had some records even we hadn’t heard of

), and it set a high bar for taste, erudition and weirdness. Seeing vegetable-loving psychedelic rockers Ultimate Spinach and German clarinet master Hugo Strasser on a best albums did our hearts proud, even if most of us filled out list with less obscure choices. But even the sharpest music scholars on the.

In fact, a few of them sounded a little too theoretically good to be true, as if perhaps they may have been placed on the list not because of their musical quality but as part of some sort of clever satirical gesture. Sure, a record like Dr. Funk-A-Dunk’scould be a real thing. Or it could be fake. Or it could be so fake it’s real, or so real it’s fake. How are we to know?

Here’s my imaginary record cover design for Ad Rock’s 8 pick: The Outta Controls - “I Need New Friends”.

I've heard exactly one of these records. Yes it was Phil Collins'

Fact Check Your Head

He was taking the piss

RS doesn’t realize he punked them with fake band names. Smdh

500 albuns são discos pra caralho...

I'm looking at this list. Never heard of any of this stuff. And there's Phil Collins

An example of the quality ballots that made up your bizarre list.

Yeah, I guess, if you want to waste away the opportunity to have a voice in popular culture. But perhaps this was the Beastie Boy way to go.

ha.... never stops messing with the masses. well played, next level like the ring story.

Just trying way too hard to name obscure albums. I don’t believe him. At all.

No Bikini Kill?

lmao. i think he is punking all of us. checke google and youtube for all variations of each listing and only found 3 in top 12 so far , Grits and Gravy Fame gang(its funky), the Hugo Strasser, Tanzhits( its an orchestra that plays popular songs) and Ultimate Spinach. /shrugs.

this is so much fun to read. please publish everyone’s!! taylorswift13 billieeilish KamasiW

Ad-Rock names a Macka B album his 1 of all time. I associate Macka B with his (frankly hilarious) song about the fatwa against Salman Rushdie after he wrote 'The Satanic Verses.'

Isn't that what music is supposed to be diverse? Don't get me wrong I like my rock music but at times I can happily go from listening from say DC to some Johnny Cash to the Beastie Boys themselves

Yeah I heard his collection is next level . Always at the record stores on tour .

Miss this face, Mr. Horovitz! 🤗

Adrock is God.
