I'm starting to like these funky white folks more and more
especially the old stuff. Their newer stuff, meh not so much..
I downloaded "By The Way" and it was pure pop crap.

get the album that has the song on it. I think the album was named "by the way" also, it is very good.

I dig the chili peppers, they are a mellow rock group and different from the rest...

no..

hehe, i meant i downloaded the whole album

weepingwall said:

I think i know why.. They get way too
much airplay! Whenever they realease a new
album MTV goes ape shit and show their new video
24/7!

Funny you started this thread, i've been bumpin' "Uplift Mofo Plan" all week!
yeah their earlier stuff might be what you wanna check out.

Freaky Stylely

Uplift

Mothers Milk

BloodSexSugarMagic

i lost interest after that....

i was really upset when they crossedover to the mainstream

smellmyfunk said:

All can say to U is 2 don't fight the feeling. One of their albums was produced by Dr. Funkenstein himself. Now, that's funky.

Ah yeah! Freaky Stylee

TALK!!!


Funk em'!!!

Just to see the look on their face!!!

yes i do. in fact just today i waz listening to thier "Californication" cd. pretty good stuff

they're okay. they were fun in their prime. i think their stuff is kinda samey, but i'm in favor of them as personalities. flea's fun - i like when he acts in weirdo art films.

yes!

Yeah.

BloodSugar...should have never have happened. It ruined them.

I did.

DiamondGirl said:

i think it's their best work, though it was the begining of the end.

sinisterpentatonic said:

That was my point. They went mainstream. God bless/curses to Rick Rubin.

DiamondGirl said:

The BloodSugar album also =Dave Navarro which wasn't a good mix.

MadameS said:

Navarro wasn't on the BloodSugar album,that was Frusciante'(sp?). Nav was on the follow-up.

DiamondGirl said:

My bad

My two favorite albums by them have to be Californication and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The rest of their work is ok to me!

Mothers Milk is their best.

Yes, i used to like them befor they sold out on Bloodsugarsexmagic. Everything before that rocks then they turned into crap.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I agree with you 100% After bloodsugarsexmagic their music became shite and even that album is pushing it for me but i'll accept it as one of their better ones. Mother's milk was their peak album IMO.

smellmyfunk said:

I did get sick of every single from 'By The Way'. FOr a whole year every other video MTV2 played must have been any single from BTW or 'All My Life' by Foo Fighters. Love 'em both, but there's only so much I can take.

their early stuff is so much better. by the way is a good album, but its got

nothing on blood sugar sex magic

californication was ok too, still though, early is best.

their sound seemed to change a bit, more groomed maybe in the last 2 albums.

less raw.

flea is a god.

I liked everything from the 1st ("Freaky Styley) straight thru 1991. ("B.S.S.M)...After they became the MTV media darlings and Anthony started "singing" more, I lost interest in them. Hillel was the shit.

totally. the old stuff is lost on the new fans. i hope they remember their sock covered roots!
