All summer long, we dive deep into those classic albums that are best listened to in summertime.

Here's the list so far: Sublime's self-titled and Van Halen's self-titled. This week, we add the third full-length album from Beastie Boys, Check Your Head.

Says ROCK 92.9 Program Director Ken West: "I always blasted this driving into Red Sox games in the Summer. “Bass from the back of my car feels soothin’/eight bazookas is what I’m usin’.” I didn’t have bazookas but I cranked my crappy stereo like I did."

I concur. I just spent a week on vacation in Wells Beach, Maine, and you can bet this is exactly what I had on as I made my way down Mile Road. Blast the tracks I have posted below, and be sure to add this Beasties classic to your summer playlist.
