Beastie Boys are underrated?

Now, I like the Beastie Boys, but they are definitely not underrated. They're on some "Old-School" status.

What I mean by overrated is they rarely come up on list like this...
Paul's Boutique is one of the greatest albums of all time. It seems like nowadays old school people drop on the list because styles have changed.

My favourite artists in no particular order. (it’s too hard to put them in order)

A Tribe Called Quest

Immortal Technique

Jeru Tha Damaja

Public Enemy

KRS One

Mos Def

Nas

Freddie Foxxx (A.K.A Bumpy knuckles)

Eric B & Rakim

Guru

Honourable mentions; Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, Jedi Mind Tricks, Paris, Common, De La Soul, Chubb Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Akrobatik, Big L, Biz Markie, Black Sheep, Dead Prez, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, The Roots (Guns Are Drawn..A stone cold classic), I could do this for a while but I think you get my drift. Hip-Hop will live, as long as we remember what it is.

Many would say you still are with Wayne on your list.

I'd say Wayne>Eminem as far as his list goes.
If only for nostalgia's sake.
