Ok, so, I decided to a road trip to the beach on Friday and I took it to a beach further away than I normally go which increased my drive time considerably and I thought to myself, what is a band I hadn't listened to in a while that I ought to break out for a road trip involving around 6hrs +- of drive time round trip......

I decided to go Red Hot Chili Peppers....

I did the following

84' The Red Hot Chili Peppers
85' Freaky Styley
87' Uplift Mofo Party Plan
89' Mother's Milk
91' Blood Sugar Sex Majik
95' One Hot Minute
99' Californiaction

I still for the rest to go through but.... Stadium Arcadium is in progress.

Man, I had forgotten somewhat how funky they are. I always thought of their sound as P Funk + Skater Metal + hip hop. Mother's Milk was very popular when I was in 8th/9th grade with all the great tunes off of that one. I didn't get my first album of theirs till Blood Sugar Sex Magik came out. That cd was amazing. On some crazy sale I got their back catalog at that point and liked their early beginnings. One Hot Minute wasn't bad, but I could tell that the Navarro thing just didn't fit in with them and while he's a good guitarist, his thing and their thing didn't mesh as fluidly as it could have even if that album had some good tracks.

I felt By the Way was too slow for their style.

Stadium Arcadium wasn't bad.

I gotta relisten to I'm With You because I don't remember much about it.

Their last one, The Getaway, was pretty damn good as I recall.

I think I am going to post some deep cuts off the early works later on.
