So U2 didn't do a double album when they had material for Achtung Baby and Zooropa. I know a lot of people dog Zooropa, but if you were to tell me I had to choose between those two albums... idk. That'd be near impossible for me as well. Just wouldn't be the same.

Sure there's more amazing tracks than others, but that's just it, a good album actually has highs and lows and twists and turns.

Stadium Arcadium has been my favourite RHCP album ever since it came out.
I haven't listened to it for 2 years but when it was released, i couldn't stop playing it for at least 12 months.
Yes, I agree, it is lenghty. But I found that every song was well done except maybe 1, at the most 2.

I never found RHCP serious musicians- the group was best known for lunkheaded stunts like posing with
socks on their private parts while lampooning the cover of the Beatles Abby Road.
In the early 90s they were one of the worlds most popular bands- can you believe this?
at woodstock 1994 they all undressed on stage with giant light bulbs on their heads.
Do you think it had anything to do with heroin??

Finally,the lineup seemed settled later on, when john frusciante came back.

Another interesting tidbit- the album won a grammy for best album in 2007.
Not that winning a grammy means a hell of a lot.

Well, first of all thank you for bringing the romantic nostalgia to my life. RHCP were my first band ever, when I was 5-6. Very young. Stadium and By the Way along with several songs from Blood Sugar and Californication were played day and night for years... Ah childhood. I haven't listened to some of the deeper cuts for years... And I've grown tired of most of the hits, so I don't think there'll be many here.

1. Dani California
2. Snow
3. Stadium Arcadium
4. Strip My Mind
5. Especially In Michigan
6. Wet Sand
7. Hey
8. Desecration Smile
9. Tell Me Baby
10. Hard To Concentrate
11. She Looks To Me
12. Readymade
13. So Much I
14. Death Of A Martian

Well it isn't as hit free as I thought Smile And it was very hard as well.

Love your threads, Rush, this and several more I've seen but haven't posted on. Keep 'em coming.


Thank you for the kind words! I intend to keep going, love seeing everyone's thoughts on here.

Trust me, you aren't the only one with nostalgia tied to RHCP's music. I only got into them in the latter half of high school, but there are many friends, moments, and memories since then that are connected to their music. Many brilliant moments flooding back as I type.

Solid single disc take on Stadium also!

The thing I've always appreciated about the Peppers is that they have a ton of musicianship and writing ability, but sometimes it's hard to recognize as they have never taken themselves incredibly serious. There's a humor and charisma to their music that's only possible because of their chemistry with each other.

Flea is an incredible bass player and an innovator of the instrument. John Frusciante is one of my favorite guitar players because of how he layers his parts and uses the guitar as a true voice. Chad Smith is a great drummer also. However, Anthony Kiedes is not a great singer in any traditional sense. I very much like his voice and he has written some great lyrics, but he's not about to belt out a classical piece or be in competition with Freddie Mercury in any fan polls. It wouldn't be RHCP without any of them however and that's my favorite thing about the band.

I wouldn't mind a tracklist made only of Wet Sand repeated 10 times.

Strange - I look up wet sand - gave it 100/100... didn't make my cut when I skimmed the album and gave my list.

I guess there's just that many gooduns.

Frusciante digs at those notes like a David Gilmour/Eddie Hazel hybrid. I've always been floored by Anthony's delivery of the lyrics in the choruses as well.
