Ma man really just voted bssm in b?????💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

bro did NOT disrespect "Under the Bridge" like that.

The getaway is *UNDERRATED* AS FUCK

Never been a fan of the RHCP, but can't deny these lads can play

It is fucking disrespectful to put BSSM in third place. I mean, wtf. That record is the best definition of what RHCP sound.

You really not too much into the bass guitar 😂 Aeroplane from One Hot Minute got one of the best rhcp bass lines and solo

you cannot put bssm on the "B", you just can't, my god.

I was 19 years old when under the bridge dropped. I had my first girlfriend, and then my first breakup. And that song was probably one of the first pop songs that I really felt was there for me during that time. Maybe it's because I was young, living in Southern California, and all that. But I think the popularity of the song might have a lot to do with the time, and those of us who were actually young adults when it came out.

WTF Hump de Bump is funny and i like it a lot. You are just full of hate for these songs. By the way is an amazing album with songs like Doses, the Zephyr Song, Dont Forget Me and Midnight and it is easily S tier but you put it in B??? Stadium Arcadium has also many fantastic songs and deserve S tier too. Wtf is wrong with you (yeah I know anybode can have their own opinion but come on!)

This is how I would personally rank them 1. By The Way 2. Californication 3. Blood Sugar Sex Magik 4. Return of the Dream Canteen 5. Stadium Arcadium 6. Unlimited Love 7. I'm With You 8. The Gateway 9. One Hot Minute 10. Mother's Milk 11. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan 12. Red Hot Chili Peppers 13. Freaky Styley I also cant believe you think Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen is bland

Light sensitivity is fucking up your nose? .... huh?

Jack irons was the original drummer, Hillel Slovak was the original guitarist, Jack Sherman was the 2nd guitarist, and cliff martinez was the second drummer

I don't know but "By the Way" is my favorite album from them 🥰 Because it has a little strange touch in my opinion. That's why I love it so much 💕

I had a great idea for a weekly series you could do. Kinda like now in the 90’s you pick the best album release that week from the 80’s,90’s,00’s,10’s. 4 albums per video each week spanning 4 decades. I would watch that.

What are the songs that you like on Stadium Arcadium?

hmm, interesting review. why do an album ranking of a band you're not a big fan of though? I'm curious to know who your bands are.... i found your page looking for Smashing Pumpkins Atum reviews, and I really dug your video on it and all your other SP videos too. I mostly agree with your SP opinions, it's safe to say you're a big fan of theirs, no? anyway, i'd give Unlimited Love another shot. there's electric energy all throughout that record and you can feel it. there's some generic filler, but Black Summer, Here Ever After, It's Only Natural, Whatchu Thinkin, White Braids & Pillow Chair, Let 'Em Cry.... all great tracks. Aquatic Mouth Dance is a pretty fun MAJOR FUNK song Return of the Dream Canteen has a lot more generic filler, but i think Eddie is one of the best songs they've ever done. To me, it's easily their best thing since anything off Stadium Arcadium, at least. Also Bella, Tippa My Tongue, and Afterlife are pretty good Unlimited Love to me is right there with Californication, Stadium Arcadium and Blood Sugar. As great as these classic RHCP albums are, they're so overplayed everywhere you go nowadays and for the last 20 whatever years that, sadly, they've become cliche's (Mothers Milk is exempt from this group. It retains its originality bc it's not nearly as ubiquitous as the other great ones). Unlimited Love is FRESH classic breezy RHCP and that's part of what makes it great anway, cool vid. i'm interested to see what band/artist you do next

RHCP is a band I always say I love, but when I actually think about it, I can probably count the songs I actually like on two hands... maybe three.

I love how gentle some of the melodies are on By The Way in songs like "Zephyr Song," "Universally Speaking," and the chorus of "Can't Stop" -- that last one gets me right in the heart. By The Way is def a poppier RHCP, but I guess I prefer this era most. Great video and good discussion

What do you mean Klinghoffer doesn't do backup vocals?

You put a good amount of thought into this ranking. More than some of the albums deserve. I'm older than you, so my rankings are bit different at the top: 1. Blood Sugar Sex Magic 2. Mother's Milk 3. Californication All could be S or A tier for me.

I think a lot of it has to do with how how old you were when you found them. Because I’d put 89-95 in the top and the older stuff under that and newer down at the bottom. Never a huge fan but wouldn’t ever turn them off if it was on the radio or empty v!

5. Mothers Milk 4. Stadium Arcadium 3. By The Way 2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik 1. Californication

F Yeah the Full Video😃

Bro. Hump de bump is a banger. Banger. I can’t believe you don’t like it, always stuck in my head Also, getaway is a banger. Really gets stuck in your head and is enjoyable if you give it a chance

13:47 I'm around the same age as you, and Californication will always remind me of summer break when I was a kid. I remember the music video for Californication, with the band entering a video game, it was quite weird but memorable!

Agreement on Under the bridge ....I can spot its opening in nano seconds and GTFO

Great video! I agree that Californication is by far their best album. So many amazing songs on there.

I pretty much agree but I do enjoy the early stuff a lot more than you do. Stadium Arcadium was the last good album but I don't rank it above BSSM. Also I find One Hot Minute to be fantastic so I'd also rank that higher.

Putting One Hot Minute in C tier is like putting Warning by Green Day in D tier. Dave Navarro adds his own guitar spin on the songs. If he did do his funk thing, people would say to go back to Jane's Addiction. (Puts Stadium over One Hot despite it being poppy AND a double album) Kiedis stopped rapping because the rapping was not that great. if he was rapping today, people would call him out by saying "it was never good." His singing is very hit and miss, I'll agree. I've been a fan of this band since Stadium and, while that is a flawed album, good God, putting OHM in C tier is utterly insane to me. But I respect your opinion, anyhoo. Take care

It's crazy, for good or bad, the Chilli Peppers are just iconic. I think they are a unique band and no other band sounds like them. No one has such a terrible frontman/singer/songwritter, but kinda interesting musicians, maybe not the best, but the again, iconic.

This list is pretty much the same as my list. Except for the two latest albums. I would classify both of them as at least a B. I really like both of them a lot.

Im inspired to fully go through their discography. I have never been exactly a fan of theirs but some of those radio hits give me fond nostalgic memories of the late 90s and early 2000s. This is going to be interesting. Im not a fan of that funk white dude groovy man stuff at all, those 80s albums might be rough to listen through!

Unlimited love and the gateway are great, there are more songs i like from these albums than any other album

OHM goes in A tier

Goodbye Angels is underrated imo.

Really interesting points I'm also with you😃 Here some of my points of view: One Hot Minute: Welp Navarro was a completly different Guitar Player but I like most of the experimental weirdish tracks on it. Stadium Arcadium: When I was listening first on the release year, I was like, it's just good. Years after I realized the many guitar layers John was using. I'm with you: I just know Klinghoffer mostly on guitar/bass/drums/singing work on Frusciantes Solo Records or the Super Group Ataxia, which was a complete different type but it suited well. I'm with you was to me a big dissapointment. The Getaway: Was kinda a bit better but also not so well. Unlimited Love & Return to Dream Canteen: Very repetitive how the songs are created, kinda boring, I just like 3 tracks on each on it but that's it. Californication: Was my Album which blews off my mind and it's even high up, so I don't care a lot on By the way. That's all Josh 🙂

So you don’t like albums with too many songs and funk, and they sucks because of that, who are you to Rank them?

I agree with you about under the bridge. I was more into the song Black hole sun,Tool's stinkfist and the Crandberries Salvation

Great video. Blink-182 next 🤘 🤘 🤘

For me - One Hot Minute is so far beyond everything else they've ever done. And every time I say that, people never remember the album even existed. Navarro crafted some seriously good guitar work. There's 2 or 3 really crap songs but mostly the album is lightyears better than every other album for me. Throw in about 10 other random songs throughout their entire catalogue and that's enough. Maybe I like it because it's so much different to the hours and hours of total garbage.

Dani California sounds like Tom Petty’s Mary Jane’s Last Dance

saying bssm has too many songs is not fair. Stadium Arcadium has so many songs they split it into 2 discs. Not saying it's a bad thing, just I think Stadium Arcadium just has a lot of songs I don't want to listen sometimes, that's why I prefer by the way over it.

Ending up in rehab finally made "Under the Bridge" click for me. The intro is basically a lovechild between Hendrix ("Bold as Love") and Bowie ("Andy Warhol"), which I respect, but it's kind of cheating.

How can you be taken seriously when you put UL and ROTDC in D Tier. You may not like those but honestly as a musician i can tell you that they are much more accomplished musicaly than anything they've ever done. I respect your right to not like these albums, but they are not garbage. They are far better than 99% of what comes out these days. What people usually fail to understand with this band is that when you like something from an era like let's say Californication nothing else will ever sound like this album. Same goes for BSSM and so on. All their albums attempt at something different. And I usually dont like the new stuff when it comes out cause it takes time to understand where they at musically but once i got used to the sound and the vibe they went for, i can't stop listening to it. It is not music you consume like your last fast food. It is something you have to take the time to listen to. Hard to understand i guess for our generation that is spoiled by consumerism. And btw: BSSM B Tier ? come on xD

I don't know this guy at all but I assume he doesn't play music, judging by his comment on BSSM

While maybe across the board return of the dream canteen isnt the best, i think its unfair to have in D. Eddie is one of their best songs, and for me peace and love isnt far behind. Bella is also quite a fantastic tune and while ridiculous, tippa my tongue is a ton of fun.

Anthony : ring ding dong dang ding

Freaky Styley was pretty good.

S: BSSM, Californication, By The Way A: Stadium Arcadium, Mother’s Milk, I’m With You B: I’m Beside you, The Getaway, One Hot Minute C: Return of the Dream Canteen Anything else is irrelevant

Shit! How did I miss this?! Vid is five mo. old now. RHCP nerd here ✋

I farted right as you added that fart sound in the beginning, and I thought I might have blown out my colon.

Unlimited Love is fantastic, not the whole album, but it's enough where it's freakin awesome. It's at least A Tier, I put it at roughly the same ranking as By The Way. I think By The Way is just a little bit better. But I love them both. Unlimited Love is insanely loved by me. I will die on that hill.

Too many songs on BSSM? Every song is killer aside from They're Red Hot. They should have put Soul To Squeeze on there instead. BSSM is S tier for best albums of all time.

I don't get why people don't recognize The Uplift Mofo Party Plan as the great album that is. It's by far my favorite album by them.

One hot minute is underated

I would have put "I'm with you" on C tier. Aside from that, great.

Yeah I could've done without the entire 2nd record/disc of Stadium Arcadium

One Hot Minute and Mother’s Milk could switch and raise a tier for each level. Then maybe you’d be on target.

By the Way is S, Getaway is A-B, Unlimited Love is A-B.

I love Bag of Grins personally and Veronica

Sleeping on Getaway

Before clicking the video I said "where's he gonna rank the funk?"

Here's my RHCP album ranking from worst to best Unlimited Love (haven't heard it yet) Californication By the Way I'm With You The Getaway One Hot Minute Freaky Stylie Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium Blood Sugar Sex Magik Mother's Milk The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

Not even bringing back John Frusciante, on two albums released in the same year, was able to re-energise the band. Ouch. But, i'm surprised Stadium Arcadium ranked as highly because, to me, that suffers the same issues as the latest two records from 2022.

26:16 well said. That's why I don't consider myself a huge RHCP fan

Who let him cook???

Props to Hillel slovak for what he did and RIP and whatnot but the band got leagues ahead when frusciante joined. Those who claim to prefer the slovak days are the same who claim to prefer the Syd Barrett Pink floyd. It's just about being a genwunner, a purist so to speak. Just to be original and different. Objectively that's just a bad take in my opinion. When melody entered, it was a game changer.

I compare RHCP to Rivers Cuomo: a band that prioritizes quantity over quality. Both bands could have sterling discographies, but instead they want to demonstrate their ability to record 500 crap songs in a year!

I really like 'By The Way' but Cabron does suck haha.

By the Way shits on Stadium Arcadium. More streamlined, higher highs, muuuuuch less filler. Stadium Arcadium is three or four good songs and a plethora of meh to awful songs.

I like a handful of Peppers songs and that's it. Never a big fan, much to the dismay of my bestie lmao.

You should check Frusciante's solo work. It's the opposite of RHCP MO of going through the motions

Dude you do not know and or appreciate Chiñi Peppers history.

I’m glad we both agree with UL and ROTDC being shit tier. Tho I think the getaway deserves to be higher, a bit of a breath of fresh air

Worst review I’ve ever seen (IMO) Debut album sucked other than green heaven in my opinion but yeah that stuff was not good Freaky styley was also not the best it had some bangers, jungle man, if you want me to stay, and Hollywood Uplift mofo party plan was a great album I’m not too much of a fan of kiedes rapping but I thing songs like backwoods and behind the sun are S tier songs Mothers milk I totally agree with you it’s a great album what more can I say. I’m a big fan of stone cold bush and good time boys BSSM magik is my third favorite of theirs and is in between A and S for me. I love sir psycho sexy and my lovely man. I think this album has no bad or even mediocre songs. Such a solid album. One hot minute is weird and definitely not my favorite but walkabout is a great song but there’s not much else I can say about it Californication is good. Not great. Call me basic but I still think scar tissue is the best song on the album with the runner up being this velvet glove. I really don’t like emit remmus either I like by the way but similar to californication it’s not an S tier album whatsoever. Venice queen is one their best songs in my opinion and I’m a big fan of cabron, can’t stop and on mercury Stadium Arcadiam is there best album hands down. After getting it on vinyl it was worth it. 28 songs and I love 25 of them, there’s a few I’m not the biggest fan of but it has the most songs and the 2nd best songs that they have ever made. Big fan of she’s only 18, especially in Michigan, storm in a teacup, death of a Martian, hey, desecration smile and many others I’m with you was not the best but there are some bangers: even you Brutus, did I let you know and goodbye hooray are my favorites. Overall like a 6/10 Then there’s the bunch of like EP things the released and honestly it’s some of their best work. Songs like never is a long time and pink as Floyd are absolute A tier songs as well as long progression, magpies on fire and how it ends. The Getaway is my favorite album of all time bo questions asked. There a a few songs I don’t like but the other ones are SO good like feasting on the flowers go robot, goodbye angels, the longest wave and my personal favorite encore There last two albums are pretty good and I think unlimited love has some really good stuff I’m not the biggest fan of return of the dream canteen but songs I will recommend are one way traffic, and white braids & pillow chairs. So that my review of their albums.

RHCP is a band which I can listen to on the radio, but don't really care about. Also I always start mixing their songs up because they are so similar. I ghink back in the pre Spotify age you could have told somebody who wanted to get started with them to buy their greatest hits album and he won't miss anything.

This is a waste of time and who cares about his opinion?

Thank-you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm a big fan but fuck me I hate the song"by the way"

do monkeys and strokes

My girlfriend's favorite band is the Chili Peppers. Mine are Guns N' Roses and Queens Of The Stone Age. Actually before we started officially dating she lent me Scar Tissue, which I still haven't read three years later, because I'm a horrible boyfriend. Her favorite song is Wet Sand, and she's definitely into the more poppy Californication/ Stadium era, and loves Frusciante. I'm the farthest thing from a Chili Peppers aficionado, but I appreciate 'em for obvious reasons. Out of everything she's played me, I'm familiar with Stadium Arcadium as a whole because that's the only album I own of theirs, from back in '05, just an impulse buy. This was a great watch! 🤘🏻

1st Tier: None, I’m sorry, I love these guys, but the problem is that they REFUSE to cut stuff, so no album of theirs is 1st tier 2nd Tier: The Getaway, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, The Red Hot Chili Peppers 3rd Tier: Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Unlimited Love, By The Way, Mother’s Milk, One Hot Minute, Californication, I’m With You, The Return Of The Dream Canteen, Stadium Arcadium: Jupiter, Stadium Arcadium: Mars Haven’t Heard Every Song Yet: Freaky Styley (but I love the songs I have)

Ugh good band but my god are they overplayed

their music is all very samey to me

maluco

not a good ranking IMO

Probably the worst ranking I have ever seen

U lost me when u said their first albums aren’t very good lol. Literally their best material

Anthony Keidis ruins RHCP for me.

People like them for the hits, and ONLY for the hits. I dont know a single person who likes entire albums.

They always seemed like a band that just formed to get girls - not a genuine group.

"Behind the Sun" is the only good RHCP song. The band is otherwise trash.

Most overrated band in history. Absolute radio friendly garbage from 2000 onwards.

L list
