ElvisAlt12: Red Hot Chili Peppers Ranked

NeroCorleone80 04.22.14	Pretty much perfect. I'd just switch 1 and 2 as well as 4 and 5
OZZGabriel 04.22.14	Damn, do people in general hate 'By The Way' that much?
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	I like 1-8 on this list, but 5 and 6 have to be my favorite, with 5 just beating 6 by a little.
mandan 04.22.14	"do people in general hate 'By The Way' that much?" Most people think it's one of their best. Inform yourself dude. Regarding this list, I pretty much agree with this ranking. 1-3 revolutionized the possibilities of music experimentation in uncanny ways imo. 4, 5 and 6 are sweet too, but imo after 3 they had already achieved their revolution, it became a thing of achieving success after that. And imo, they pretty much went on a musical downhill slide from Cali onwards, although they gained a new generation of fans that doesn't care for their early stuff. 10 is 10 hard. Ofc, this is my unpopular opinion.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	I love how if you remove 3 from the list it looks like RHCP got progressively worse over time. 3 should be a little lower though...
mandan 04.22.14	3's extremely underrated dude if you ask me.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	That might be true, but I'd still put it at like 7...
mandan 04.22.14	Disagreed dude, but whatever. Not gonna quibble over this since most people on the site think it outright sucks.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	I don't though. I have it as a 3/5.
OZZGabriel 04.22.14	Well I too think that 'By the way' is a great album but I feel like everywhere there's someone bashing the album (maybe I'm exaggerating, but still...)
ExcentrifugalForz 04.22.14	9 is the only one of their records i like, I don't care who knows it
MuhNamesTyler 04.22.14	I will use this piece of information to bring forth your demise
ElvisAlt12 04.22.14	Meh By the Way's kinda boring to me.I like the guitar melodies and all but it seems like they have identity crisis on that one (trying to be too mainstream while trying to keep some groove,etc). @ArsMoriendi Blood Sugar's pretty damn good,I just can't listen to it all without skipping tracks which hurts it a little,and I wish it had Soul to Squeeze on it xD. One Hot Minute still has to grow on me a liiittle more.Haha you're right it does look like they got worse if you take out 3 x) @Nero Nice :P @Dannyboy thanks for commenting :D,I agree w/everything you said man.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	Which tracks do you skip? The only meh one in my opinion is "The Greeting Song" which Keidis himself hated.
Trampumpoolee 04.22.14	I feel the same about "Freaky Styley" - can't get tired of this one. But that list has too much "the older - the better" attitude
ElvisAlt12 04.22.14	@trampumpoolee Nice :).nah,I wasn't trying to go for that approach,I just like the Chili's better w/Hillel.I like a lot of modern alternative rock artists,but the Chili Peppers' latest stuff doesn't speak to me. @ArsMoriendi Under the Bridge (I have to be in the mood for this one.),The Greeting Song,The Righteous & The Wicked,They're Red Hot (I deleted this one from my computer),and Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	I love the t/t and "The Righteous and the Wicked." Also "They're Red Hot" is so fun. Can't disagree with "The Greeting Song", it's not good at all..
ElvisAlt12 04.22.14	Kiedis had writers block probably x). It's alright,it's still a badass album :P. Are there any you skip?
mandan 04.22.14	I don't really dislike They're Red Hot, but it does feel inneffective as a closer imo. @Elvis: yup, I like plenty of alt-rock as well, but yeah, I've come to prefer early Peppers over time.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	I don't skip tracks when I listen to albums in full. Whether I dislike the track or not. Well there's 1 exception. "War Pigs" on The Real Thing. That's it though.
ElvisAlt12 04.22.14	@Danny I used to love modern chili's until I realized their old stuff is just better. @Ars omg how in the world do you do that...That's hard :(.
Insurrection 04.22.14	"Well there's 1 exception. "War Pigs" on The Real Thing. That's it though." heathen!
mandan 04.22.14	piss should be delighted with this ranking.
RoundOnEndHiInMiddle 04.22.14	"Damn, do people in general hate 'By The Way' that much?" I personally think it's their best. It's just so consistent, and over 16 songs, that's pretty impressive.
ArsMoriendi 04.22.14	"heathen!" As much as I love Faith No More and Black Sabbath, I can't say FNM's version of "War Pigs" really does anything for the album, it almost just sounds like a replication of the original. I'd rather listen to the original version, y'know? FNM's version of "Easy" however... is fantastic.
Treeman 04.22.14	Wow people hate on their later material way too much
mandan 04.22.14	Wow people love their later material way too much Fix'd.
Treeman 04.22.14	nah its just cool to hate stadium arcadium lets be real
sapient 04.22.14	still need to listen to 1, the earliest Chilis I've checked is 2
Treeman 04.22.14	1 is best of anything they released pre-BSSM
sapient 04.22.14	I'm assuming it's a hell of a lot more funky and less alternative than their other stuff
mandan 04.22.14	@sapient: it's funky as fuck, yeah.
sapient 04.22.14	hell yeah, I can dig that then
mandan 04.22.14	I have no alts dude. He's got King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 5'd and I have it 4'd. Hence we don't have the same exact opinions.
mandan 04.22.14	He also has 2 David Bowie albums 5'd and I haven't heard a single full album by him, thus having none of his work rated. Sorry Futures.
ElvisAlt12 04.22.14	Nah.I'm Elvis haha.
