I meant that Paul's Boutique is one of my favorite albums, of all albums/cds - not just my favorite Beastie. It's literally in my top 10.
As my friend Bob Lefsetz says: "Paul's Boutique" was so far ahead of what was in the marketplace that it took many years to catch up with it. If it had been on Sony instead of Capitol, it would have been just as big as the debut. Still, the music lives on.
