Nope. Beasties have had more great albums than any of those artists.
PE is their only competition in that group. NWA had 1 great album, DMC had maybe 2, Tribe had 2, WU had 1.

I'm a big fan of Check Your Head, too.
That is my favorite Beastie Boys album.

first time i heard of the BB was off of MuchMusic ... playing the vid for hey lady's from the paul's boutique album. once i had an 8-track copy of the album, limited edtion thing, then later sold it out to a friend of mine. wouldn't know how much that was. but still got my orange cassette copy of the album.
check your head & ill communication were great albums, really loved the instrumental stuff they layed down on both those records. hellow nasty & to the 5 boroughs ... didn't like so much.

They were OK. I could never take them too seriously though, and that was part of their charm. I'm guessing they are done now that they released a greatest hits compilation

I love the Beasties...but they're not the best. First of all, some might call Licensed to Ill a Run DMC album...
Also, Wu had two great albums - and considering they all appear on the solo albums, it's even more. I'd put Liquid Swords ahead of ANYTHING the beasties ever did .

Even if you go with 2 great Wu albums, that's 2 less than the Beasties had. If there was 9 of them and they all did solo albums I'd bet at least 1 would be good. Half of the guys in Wu are pretty average.
The quality and variety they put out over 12 years is amazing.
