Beastie Boys released their debut single in 1983. Two years later they were touring with Madonna. One year after that they released their infamous debut album LICENSED TO ILL (1986). They would eventually release a total of eight studio albums by 2011. When founding member Adam "MCA" Yauch passed away from cancer in 2012, the remaining members called it a day. This project simply pairs the alphabet with 26 songs mostly from their eight studio album discography, but with a couple of non-studio album tracks thrown in.
