Beauty and the Beat is the debut album from Californian pop punk all-women band The Go-Go's.
Released in 1981 (see 1981 in music), the album was preceded by the single "We Got the Beat", which became a massive club hit in Europe and, later, the United States.
When the album was finally released, it topped the Billboard Music Charts for six weeks, and sold in excess of two millions copies, making it one of the biggest surprise hit albums of all time.

 Beat generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beats in general were a large influence on members of the new "counterculture", for example, in the case of Bob Dylan who became a close friend of Allen Ginsberg.
Many of the original Beats remained active participants, notably Allen Ginsberg, who became a fixture of the anti-war movement -- though equally notably, Kerouac did not remain active on the scene: he broke with Ginsberg and criticized the 60s protest movements as "new excuses for spitefulness".
The original members or the Beat Generation group — in Allen Ginsberg's phrase, "the libertine circle" — used a number of different drugs.

This problem was remedied somewhat on the Beat's second album, which is quite a bit heavier.
Though never scaling the heights of either band, The Beat (issued prior to the name conflict with the English Beat) is simple, satisfying power pop, all meat and no filler.
Although they seem to run out of steam — and songs — halfway through The Kids Are the Same, the band shows a high degree of musical volatility up to that point.

 Amazon.com: Beat: Music: King Crimson
Good point, and good music it is. Many people don't like "Beat," that's their choice, and I'll agree it's not as good as "Discipline," but it's still an amazing album.
"Beat" is definitely the more accessible of King Crimson's three albums of the '80's, but this is not a bad thing.
On the tracks which don't sound like Talking Heads, the band degenerate into a free form jazz sound, which is appropriate, given the title of the album, an ode to the Beat generation.
