Adam Yauch's death at the age of 47 puts an end to the career of the Beastie Boys, one of the most influential acts in the history of hip-hop and alt-rock. The Beasties' discography encompassed rap, punk, instrumental grooves and everything in between, so it can be hard to pick favorites. Nevertheless, our question for you this week is: What is the best Beastie Boys song of all time?

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
