Blood Sugar Sex Magik
by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is my all-time favorite album. The bass and guitar intertwine in such a way that makes butter feel out of place on bread. This is funk at its most energetic, ballads at their most beautiful, and a body of music at its sexiest.

79/100 breaks my heart, you clearly don't get it. it's the most funky fun album ever and if it doesn't constantly have you moving then you're obviously a breadstick. the opinions (dumb biases) of breadsticks don't count, go away. come back when you find the funk.

A big part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. Love the bass, love the singing but especially adore the guitar playing, subtle and beautiful times, funky and amusing at others, keeping up with Flea is not an easy feat. Two geniuses: Frusciante and Flea. (Edited)

Some musicians are just meant to play together and Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the perfect example of this. The Chili Peppers had to go through a lot of lineup changes before they finally found their ultimate incarnation, the one who proved to be their most inspired and composed as a group, an absolute display of alchemical relationship between musicians, and also the one who brought them into mainstream popularity and critical acclaim. Mostly thanks to the John Frusciante, then aged 20, a restless creative force who helped expand the sonic palette, introducing eclectic sounds into their music without downplaying the band's Sex-Machine-funk intensity. Without him, such tunes as the Beatlesque 'Under the Bridge' and the thoughtful ballad 'Breaking the Girl' wouldn't have been possible. Frusciante would sadly quit the band after this, their total creative peak, and even after rejoining them seven years later, they could never get back this momentum.

Some great stuff on here - Under the Bridge, Give It Away, Breaking The Girl, I Could Have Lied and Power of Equality. But the rest of it is mostly filler, making it way too long. Not for me. (Edited)
