Flashback Friday: The Beastie Boys and Norah Jones

It’s Friday! What more needs to be said? Let’s celebrate with good music.

Edward pays tribute.

The Beastie Boys, Licensed to Ill (1986)

Edd said: “No surprise here. After last week’s tragedy, I’ve definitely been in Beastie mode. This is the first hip hop LP to top Billboard, sold more than 9 million copies and is considered a five-star classic by pretty much anyone with good sense. It’s still one of hip hop’s crowning achievements.”

Norah Jones, Come Away With Me (2002)

Jai said: “All week I’ve been listening to Norah Jones’ latest release Little Broken Hearts. But this weekend I’m relaxing with the album that started my love jones for the music of Ms. Jones, her debut solo release Come Away With Me. What has always amazed me about her music is the way she manages to blend pop, jazz, country, blues, and even rock to create a sound that is uniquely hers.”
