This album is a no skipper

[@korybeavers6528]

This is the culmination of the Peppers we grew up with in the late eighties, The mellowness and artistic stuff came when they were older

[@HeavyTopspin]

Early RHCP was awesome. Then they had a hit with Under the Bridge and decided slow songs and songs about California were their future, turning them into the Lukewarm Bell Peppers. I won't call it a sellout because they still kept a lot of their weirdness, but the sheer funkiness and energy in their music was definitely lacking in the 90s on.

[@jacksmith4460]

"artistic" nah, BSSM was artistic and Raw, after that they became like watching paint dry and lost all their uniqueness in their "artistic" stage, I would describe as their sell out has been stage lool no art involved,just churning out mindless college rock

[@jacksmith4460]

@@HeavyTopspin nah Blood sugar sex magick is funky AF, Funk Monks? Righteous and the WIcked? Apache Rose Peacock? come n now...after that maybe I agree(One Hot Minute onwards) but Blood Sugar Sex Magik is brilliant, plenty raw and plenty funky

[@HeavyTopspin]

@@jacksmith4460 Considering that this very song was from Blood Sugar Sex Magick, as was Under the Bridge... yes, that's exactly what I meant, this was their last really good album before they turned into a "this is my little sister's favorite song" band.

The deeper cuts on Blood Sugar Sex Magik are some of the best tracks by RHCP. In a similar vein, the song Sir Psycho Sexy was always one of my favourites.

BTW, this song is more indicative of RHCP's funky/punk roots, and overall sound, it's just the first couple you reacted to happened to be some of their later more mature laid back tracks.

[@patron40silver]

People know them for the crappiest stuff they've ever put out. ANYTHING on this album and before is awesome. NOTHING afterwards is worth a listen.

[@sunshynff]

​@@patron40silver Are you kidding me!? Yeah they got older and more mellow, but this album was released in 1991, you're sayin' they haven't had a good song since? I'm not a fan of the more mellow stuff either, but for one, you have to realize this album blood/sgr/sex/magik is the pinnacle of their career, it's probably one of the most solid CD's all times, 17 tracks, and almost every one could have been a single. Since then those they had some great songs, Scar Tissue, Other Side, Aeroplane, and I friggin love Dark Necessities. I mean if you don't like anything after this album, fair enough, but I don't think it's fair to say they never put out another song worth listening to.

[@patron40silver]

@@sunshynff I think after this album they lost all creativity and fell into a rut. They lost their backbone. They were my favorite band for the first 5 albums. First time I saw them was in 85 in front of about 50 people. Their music was raw, fast and alive. Now it just makes me want to sle😴. I don't like any of those songs you mentioned, either. Why isn't it fair for me to say, give my opinion, that after this album they have nothing worth listening to?

[@tristantknight]

bands evolve their sound, it's what they do. just because you don't like their later work doesn't mean it's trash. it just means it's not for you.

[@jarrettthomas4865]

You guys should really listen to all of “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”, the goat of modern alternative punk, and put RHCP on the map.

[@mavjagmaverick1527]

Horrible

The entire album captures a magic moment in music history. Not a single bad track. “Funky Monks” is my personal favorite.

This came from their by far best album, every song is fire. My opinion.

[@donchaffins1313]

My favorite song of theirs is from a movie soundtrack, it is called Soul To Squeeze. It has a great bass line.

[@jinggaddi]

Which is a B-side from the BSSM sessions

[@mr.bubbles2925]

You two are a great combo. Brad is super analytical and Lex is super fun.

[@tompatrick5507]

"Swimming in the sound of Bow Wow Wow" at 2:40. One great band referencing another great band .

[@sunshynff]

I saw this title and I was thinking holy crap, Brad's head is going to explode or short circuit!!!! RHCP is a great example for your guys that every song doesn't have to have a deep meaning, or can even be gibberish. Not that the Peppers don't have deep songs, or that this one's gibberish, but sometimes the band might have a great jam musically already, and Anthony (singer) will just come up with something random or funny, and just kind of write lyrics that sound great, but might not necessarily have specific meaning or about a specific story.

[@DjDMA]

Some of the great songs in music history had their lyrics written right in the studio at the recording session. The band has the music, the structure, the melody, and they write whatever comes up to their minds a few minutes before the singer starts singing. I still haven't seen it but I think the movie Get Back of The Beatles (which was just released) is one of the many examples of this, that is already showed in a ton of rock documentaries. I have a vague memory of seeing Freddie Mercury writing a song right in front of the mic.

[@sunshynff]

@@DjDMA..Exactly! Have any of the shows you've seen talk about how Dear Prudence was written? They were in India on vacation, this was during the bands shift from straight laced 50s quartet band to the Sargent Peppers Beatles people I came to love even more. Mia Farrow was good friends with the band and was along for the trip with her sister Prudence. They were there partly to spend time with the Maharishi Yogi to learn transcendental meditation. They also did some LSD on the trip, i'm not sure if that was part of the whole Yogi open your mind thing or them just partying, but Prudence had a bad trip one night, and after that threw herself big time into the meditation she had learned. So much so she locked herself in her room got in a deep meditation and would not come out. She got along the best with John and George so those two sat outside her door for hours trying to talk her into coming out. Finally John went and got his guitar and started just fumbling around some notes in a new style of picking he had recently learned, and within about 20min came up with a basic version of what we now know as Dear Prudence. Him and George sang it to her and it touched her so much she came out of the room. After their trip they recorded the song for the White album.

Chad Smith of RHCP on drums is such a powerhouse musician listening to this... I'd seen him live w/ RHCP... his work w/ Chickenfoot (the band w/ Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony from Van Halen, Joe Satriani on guitar🤘🔥)... great! RHCP was a high energy band til 1997... they went in a more mature direction in 1999.

[@ingobordewick6480]

It's more bass-driven that's why you like it. Noticed that you (Lex) really enjoy more bass-driven songs.

Lex is a bit of genius about the vibes of all these songs. Does she have a musician's background?

[@aidanoreilly6948]

Yeah, this is how I think of the Peppers. “Give it Away” hooked me right away, and their sound was awesome. Saw them live in London in 1992 - it was a short show, but the energy was intense!

[@jasonlewis3478]

Check out the cover of "Higher Ground" off Mothers Milk.

[@blgeiger71]

This is one of the more hard-hitting songs, as it's the opening track on their album, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" from 1991. That entire album kicks some serious ass!!! Still my favorite from them, by far...during the recording of the album the band members and production crew moved into a house and lived together throughout the process and filmed everything for music videos as well as a great documentary.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

The Power of Equality is the opening track on BSSM😉

As some one already mentioned on this section the whole "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" album is funky as hell.

The other RHCP Songs were from like 10 or 15 years into their career after they chilled out. Early RHCP was a mix of Funk and Punk Rock. The early RHCP genre was basically Skater or Surfer music. They were played at pretty much every skate park in the 90's on a boombox.

Artistic/mellow Chili Peppers is the second half of their catalog, the first half was pure swag.

[@pmck6336]

You are Benjamin Button.... you are introduced to an artist's current material, and then go back into their catalog. So you are not experiencing their progression in the natural order. It's an interesting perspective, It can also be very exciting when you find a group you really like, then realize they have a multitude of material, already out there. I remember experiencing that with the Scorpions and AC/DC as a kid. .AC/DC Highway to Hell was my first listen.... then realized they had 5 albums released prior, with all this great material Instead of waiting a year for the next album, you could go get a new album once a month and play it out. Scorpions the same way.... Blackout was my first introduction. Then realized they released 7 albums prior, some with a very different sound (Uli Roth era). A current band like that is Kings of Leon..... discovered them on their 4th album. Then went back into their catalog and witnessed their maturation in reverse. Loved the earlier stuff. Viewing the reaction videos is interesting in its own way. We are watching you experience a song for the first time, and I think it brings us back to the first time we heard it. Your reactions seem genuine, which I appreciate...and the reason I keep coming back to see what is new on the playlist. Cheers!
