The whole Licensed To Ill album...Fight For Your Right, Brass Monkey, No Sleep Til Brooklyn...spring break beach house parties my senior year.
That album is the bane of my junior year of college Spring semester.
We got our upstairs neighbors evicted because of it and it came up specifically in court.
Out of control parties all night long every weekend and they played that album front to back over and over and over. We called security repeatedly and eventually after three visits the security would call the cops and then they would disband for the night. Only to return the next night and repeat.
This continued for weeks on end and they started retaliating by destroying things on our balcony, throwing eggs at our door and trashing my moped parked out front. We reported everything until the apartment had enough of it and filed eviction papers. Which then went to muni court.
We were called by the apartments lawyer. Anyway in court they asked me and the security guy separately about music we heard playing and we both referenced that album. The defense lawyer asked me if I owned that record. I said no. And then he asked me to name as many songs as I could and I rattled off 5 or 6 which seemed to prove they played it often enough and at high volume. Oops. Bad move on his part.
I did get my revenge the last weekend they were there before they had to vacate - as expected they had the biggest rager yet as they had no fear of repercussions. We expected it and actually vacated that night. I stayed at a buddies place. But at 5:30am the next morning I came back and all was quiet. I turned my Bose tower speakers up toward their ceiling and turned on something (I forget) at full volume blasting up to their apartment and left again. I had a better stereo than they did I'm just not a jerk. But that day I was. I let it go for 4 hours before I came back. Later *****es. Not a peep the next night and then they were moving out on Sunday with only like 3 weeks in the semester. Sorry. Not sorry.
I actually later learned to like the album but I did not at the time.
Treehouse apartments if anyone is wondering. Over by the baseball stadium.
