Sabotage

The Beastie Boys blew the doors off with 1994’s “Sabotage,” a furious fusion of rock and rap. Ad-Rock’s fuzzed-out bass and Mike D’s thunderous drumming drive the track, while MCA’s raspy shouts of betrayal (“I can’t stand it, I know you planned it...”) unleash pure adrenaline. The song’s iconic Spike Jonze-directed video — parodying ’70s cop shows with the band as mustachioed detectives — became an MTV staple. Though it never cracked the pop Top 40, “Sabotage” became one of the ’90s’ most celebrated rock anthems. Its explosive energy and rebel spirit ensure that whenever it plays, listeners feel an instant surge of badass ’90s attitude.
