List of songs recorded by Beastie Boys

 * Nominator(s): BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

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)

 * 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.
 * I think I took care of everything. Thanks very much for your comments! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments from Vedant
 * "which marked a style change to a more hip-hop oriented sound" - a change in style?
 * Done. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * you can wiki-link rap.
 * Done. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "With Rubin's help, Beastie Boys released the singles" - help is a little vague.
 * How about "assistance on writing and producing"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Beastie Boys broke away for Def Jam and moved to California " - from.
 * Done. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "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)
 * 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)
 * You could simply say: "Produced by Dust Brothers...".

The rest looks​ good to me. Fine work BeatlesLedTV.  Vedant  Talk  18:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "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)
 * "More diverse than their previous albums, the album was a..." - repetiton; you can use it instead.
 * Done. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The lead uses the phrase "received positive reviews from critics" too much. See if you can vary the text a bit.
 * Done. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure if "in respect" is right choice of words.
 * How about "out of respect"? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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.  Vedant  Talk  07:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Comments by Dudley

 * The only thing I can find is that the repetition of "A Musical Biography" is an error in the source. See Worldcat at.
 * Looks fine. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you so much! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:44, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
