Its safe to say there are very few (if any) ppl that actually legitimately dislike RHCP. anyway.. my fav band, and I'm having trouble deciding on their top ten songs, frankly because soo many of them are fantastic. Here's what i got so far..

1. Otherside
2. Cant Stop
3. Californication
4. By the Way
5. Scar tissue
6. Under the Bridge

the above  i believe are all locked for at minimum top ten...
from then on its all questionable.
7. give it  away
8. suck my kiss
9. Around the world
10. Snow??

heres a link from a fan voted site
http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/red-hot-chili-peppers-songs.asp

1. My Friends

Rest in no particular order, depending on mood.
- Road Trippin'
- Scar Tissue
- Otherside
- Californication
- Fortune Faded
- Can't Stop
- Under the Bridge
- Suck my kiss (not quite on the same level...)
- While my guitar gently weeps... huh what?

I couldn't come to 10 on the same level; but yeah. Pretty standard list I think, except for maybe My Friends. That's gotta be my fav song by 'em easily.
Not a big fan of By the way personally...

by the way, although yes is more of an aquired taste, if you listen to it, the bass is legit uncomparable, and yea my friends is great, i like their older stuff but i grew up on californication, by the way, blood sugar sex magik and obv stadium, i respect their old funky style as well.

1. Under the Bridge
2. Minor Thing
3. Wet Sand (im not sure, because i just re-dicovered this song and im really into it right now, so it might not stay at 3)
4. Scar Tissue
5. Quixoticelixer
6. Venice Queen
7. Californication
8. Especially in Michigan
9. Tearjerker
10. I Could Have Lied

My favorite group/artist by far. Anthony Kiedis and Flea together are something else. Fruschiante added, but im excited to see how their new album will sound with josh klinghoffer. also chad smith is the fucking man

RHCP is actually terrible. Every song is the same. No wonder everyone's list can vary so much because you're basically choosing 10 of the same song. This band pisses me off so much!

I find Kiedis' voice annoying and the band's song is mad repetitive. Its just your run of the mill douche rock.

what i have gathered from this post is that you have heard maybe 5 of their radio songs and the earliest album you've heard something off of is californication. you do realize the chili peppers have been a band since 1984, right?

13 minutes of jam.. no california moan blahing.



classic... one of my favorites

okay so this is no particular order, but my personal list of favourites:

under the bridge
otherside
scar tissue
tear
dosed
hard to concentrate
easily
don't forget me
make you feel better
by the way

those might not be their "best", but i like to look past their 'greatest hits'

thanks everyone, a bunch of songs that I have noticed hit your top 10 i have gone back and listened to.

Venice Queen for example to me,was just another solid song on the album, but after seeing it in many top 10s i re-listened and it is unreal

i would like to note that Otherside i will argue till death is the best RHCP song, my all time fav, but i can submit to the fact that californication is probably their best.
