Who in the world would vote the Beastie Boys, or The chemical Brothers as

when purchasing the above artist's CDs, did they look under Acid Jazz/ trip hop
to find these artists? No, they found them under Rap and House. Stay away from
the stereo, please!

Craig,

Please open up your mind. I agree that I wouldnt NECESSARILY classify the
BBoys or Chem Bros. as AJ, but they do have AJ tracks on their discs. Granted
the first BBoy album isnt in my collection, but Check your Head and Ill
Communication are because as they've matured, their styles have gravitated
towards what I consider to be AJ - at least for enough of the songs that want
to own the album.

You may not think so, but the folks who put together the Rebirth of Cool series
(my favorite series) put a Beastie's track on the 3rd US release...

fwiw...
