List of songs recorded by Beastie Boys[edit]

Nominator(s): BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I created this list last month because I believe the Beastie Boys have enough songs to have a "songs" list. I modeled it after the Rise Against songs list in terms of the table. I have another FLC at the moment that has one support and many comments so I think I'm safe to nominate this one. I believe this list meets the criteria and is well-written enough to become featured. All comments and criticism are appreciated. Thanks and happy editing! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 20:20, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • Could link "released" in the opening sentence to Beastie Boys discography.
    • Done.
  • What's NYU?
    • New York University. Changed.
  • Sometimes you use "the Beastie Boys", sometimes you say just "Beastie Boys", why the difference?
    • Fixed. I thought it would sound weird without the "the" but their official name has no "the" in it.
  • "success[11] and" avoid this kind of thing. The readers can probably wait to the end of the sentence for the ref. See others.
    • Done.
  • " return to their hardcore punk roots with the EP Aglio e Olio.[13] The return would be short-lived however, as, in 1998, their next studio album, Hello Nasty, returned t" return, return, return...
    • return; recurrence; reverted
  • Link Billboard, shouldn't it be in italics?
    • Fixed.
  • Ref 2 needs pp., not p. Check others with multiple pages.
    • Done.

Comments from Yashthepunisher
  • Alt text missing from the images.
  • NYmag.com --> New York (magazine)
  • Ref 11 and 18, billboard.com --> Billboard
  • Allmusic Shouldn't be italized.
  • These green links should be archived.

Comments from Vedant
  • "which marked a style change to a more hip-hop oriented sound" - a change in style?
  • you can wiki-link rap.
  • "With Rubin's help, Beastie Boys released the singles" - help is a little vague.
  • "Beastie Boys broke away for Def Jam and moved to California " - from.
  • "where they signed with Capitol Records" - might want to rephrase this bit too.
    • This one is very hard for me to reword. How about "and signed with Capital Records in California"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again the "help" bit isn't really the best way of putting things.
    • How about "with production aid from the Dust Brothers"? This one was a little hard as well because I want to avoid using "assistance" again. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You could simply say: "Produced by Dust Brothers...".
  • "While initially unsuccessful commercially, Paul's Boutique's reputation has grown significantly, with Rolling Stone in 2013 calling it "the Sgt. Pepper of hip-hop"" - Reads awkwardly, especially the "initially unsuccessful commercially" and the "with Rolling Stone in 2013 calling it " bits.
    • How about "commercially unsuccessful on release" and "with it being called the Sgt. Pepper of hip-hop" by Rolling Stone in 2013"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "More diverse than their previous albums, the album was a..." - repetiton; you can use it instead.
  • The lead uses the phrase "received positive reviews from critics" too much. See if you can vary the text a bit.
  • Not sure if "in respect" is right choice of words.

The rest looks​ good to me. Fine work BeatlesLedTV. VedantTalk 18:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Numerounovedant Thank you so much for your comments! I really appreciate it. I reworded a lot of phrases based on them. Let me know if they're good or not. Care to comment on my other FLC? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks good; i support the nomination. I'll try and take a look at the other nomination too BeatlesLedTV. Good luck with this one! You could request a source review at the concerned help page. VedantTalk 07:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
