The Beastie Boys are shown in April 1987. With hits like "Fight for Your Right (to Party)" and "Sabotage," the Beastie Boys have dabbled in punk, hip-hop and funk. The band's 1986 album, "Licensed to Ill," was hip-hop's first No. 1 album. The trio will join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as members of its 2012 class. (Ebet Roberts/Redferns/Getty Images)
