Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock Submitted Fake Names To The ‘Rolling Stone’ List Of The ‘500 Greatest Albums’

Last week, Rolling Stone compiled lists from over 300 music critics and professionals to create their comprehensive roundup of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Of course, many submissions were for veteran acts like Bob Dylan and The Beatles, but other honorable mentions had the Rolling Stone staff scratching their heads. Then, they realized: Beastie Boys‘ Ad-Rock had submitted a handful of completely made-up album names.

Of course, some of the artists on Ad-Rock’s list of 50 picks are unquestionably real. While many may not have heard of psych rockers Ultimate Spinach, the artist Phil Collins is sure to ring a bell. But staffers were confused to see names like Juan Epstein’s Boogaloo In Brooklyn or Dr. Funk-A-Dunk’s Out Of Bounds On The Dance Floor.

Ad-Rock has yet to respond to Rolling Stone out-ing his fake list, but he was sure to have had a chuckle after being the very first person to send in his picks.
