Let's make a Beastie Boys mix
Having trouble fitting everything I want on an 80-minute CD. Trying to stay away from some of the super overplayed hits and include a couple lesser known gems. What are your essential tracks for a Beastie Boys mix?

The "Anthology: The Sounds of Science" 2-disc collection is great for all the singles (again - minus some LTI), plus some album tracks and b-sides (released prior to their last album "To The 5 Boroughs"). Later today or tomorrow I'll throw out a CD mix of my essential tracks not on either of those collections

Only one CD? Does not compute. Ideally, I'd make a two-disc set; if you've seen Paul McCartney's Wingspan set, something like that, with one disc the hits and the other disc album tracks and rarities.
This would kind be a rough sketch:
DISC ONE
Slow and Low
She's On It
No Sleep Til Brooklyn
You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party
Girls
Brass Monkey
Hey Ladies
Shake Your Rump
Shadrach
Jimmy James (original version)
Gratitude
So What'cha Want
Pass the Mic
Something's Got to Give
Root Down
Get It Together
Sabotage
Sure Shot
Intergalactic
Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim Remix)
Alive
Ch-Check It Out
Triple Trouble
DISC TWO
Licensed to Ill
- Hold It, Now Hit It
Paul's Boutique
- Egg Man
- High Plains Drifter
- The Sound of Science
- Car Thief
Paul's Boutique b-side, can be found on imports, singles
- Some Dumb Cop Gave Me Two Tickets Already
Check Your Head
- Professor Booty
- Finger Lickin' Good
Check Your Head b-side, found on imports, singles
- Drunken Praying Mantis Style
- Netty's Girl (can be found on The Sounds of Science)
Ill Communication
- Flute Loop
- Bobo on the Corner
- Tough Guy
Aglio e Olio EP
- Nervous Assistant
Hello Nasty
- Super Disco Breakin'
- The Move
- Song For the Man
- The Grasshopper Unit (Keep Movin')
- Unite
- Dr. Lee, PhD
Recorded for The Jam tribute album Fire and Skill
- Start!
To the 5 Boroughs b-sides, found on various singles
- Now Get Busy
- Brrr Stick Em
The Mix-Up
- Electric Worm
I'd stick "B-Boy Boubillaise" in there somewhere, but at 12 minutes, that's a sizeable chunk of a CD. I'm sure I could whittle that down to one CD if pressed, but it'd be hard; they have a pretty rich discography, and haven't made too much filler.
