Favourite Chili Peppers Album?

Question

and why??

Mine is either By the Way or Stadium Arcadium

I like By the Way because of it's emotional, melodic lyrics and music with an almost spacy atmosphere while creating deep emotional contact about love and drug addiction. And Can't stop is a great F%#*ing song.

I like Stadium Arcadium because of it's more energetic, almost-blues based songs, layered guitar parts and a definite essence of the original funk that made the chili peppers famous

Answer 1

Blood Sugar s*x Magik, followed by Mother's Milk. They seem to be kind of the elbow records. Bridges between their earlier sound and their later sounds. They still brought the fun at full force, but it had just enough polish and distinctive vibe to it.

Answer 2

Freaky Styley.

George Clinton Produced it and the late great Hillel Slovak was still the Pepper's guitarist.

Answer 3

Blood Sugar s*x Magik.  The is the only RHCP album I ever really really got into.

Answer 4

i love them all. but i show a little more favoritism to by the way

Answer 5

blood sugar s*x magik for me, it was an album that truly represented who they were as a band and brought them the success that would carry them through the decade of garbage they would produce

Answer 6

Got to go with Stadium Arcadium just due to the shear genius in that album and the number of great songs. But, my perennial favorites so to speak are By the Way and Californication.  All excellent stuff. Fav song just depends on my mood : Parallel Universe, Purple Stain, Animal Bar. Too many fabulous songs to choose just one. I sure hope they will be touring again before long. Just writing this has got me longing...

Answer 7

Mines a toss up between Mothers Milk or Blood Sugar s*x Magik

Mothers Milk: awesome songs on that album after the shake up from Hillel Slovaks death, John Frusciantes first  album with the band and as he was a young lad at the time he punched out some amazing guitar work on it.

Best song on the album: Subway to Venus

Blood Sugar s*x Magik: John Frusciantes second album, Anthony Kiedis is clean after a bout of addiction, some of the most iconic riffs are in that album.  Great melodies, great songs, great lyrics

Best song on the album: Sir Psycho s**y  

Answer 8

I'm with you.  I prefer their newer stuff.  Fruciante is amazing.  By The Way is probably my favorite as well.  Californication, and Stadium next.

  If you like spacey/druggie/psychedelic, like me :),  check out some of John Fruciantes solo albums.  They are really great.  

Answer 9

Nintendouche has great taste.

MM and BSSM are definitely their best!

Answer 10

blood sugar s*x magic because it has my fave rhcp song "give it away" on it.
