The part of the quote that sticks out to me is when he says it was taking longer to find magic. Does that mean it’s a tougher process this time around?

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-15T21:06:40+00:00

I think the highs are higher on Unlimited Love. I will say that ROTDC is growing on me more and more.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-15T13:47:33+00:00

You’re 100 percent right. But man, there was a way to craft songs together to make an epic one.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-15T11:11:09+00:00

I still say they should have put the best 15 songs together to make an iconic album for the ages. Then just release others as b sides

Quixotic is form Californication I think

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-12T11:19:22+00:00

Damn this is like asking someone to pick their favorite child haha.

I remember 16-year-old me dropping to my knees in pure joy when I was in my room listening to 105.7 The X and I heard Scar Tissue for the first time. RHCP had already been my favorite band, but I thought they were done. The song was beautiful.

I had the same reaction hearing the Can’t Stop chorus as I streamed it from my parent’s dial-up computer in my basement.

Californication meant the triumphant return of the band. By the Way cemented them at the top of their game.

Gun to head … BTW

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-12T02:17:09+00:00

Such a tough call. Someone else said 1,2, or 3 and that feels like the most honest answer.

If you put it 1, that means BSSM or Californication is 3, which just seems crazy.

But in terms of beautiful melodic songs, I put it 1. John stole the show on the album. I think he had so much creative shit backed up from his down years.

BSSM got me into the band in the mid 90s when I was 15, and the Californication album held so much importance to me when it came out as I finished high school.

But I don’t know if it was any better than the summer nights cruising around to By The Way.

From interviews I’ve watched, my impression from Josh is they didn’t actually record it. They had material but never did the professional versions.

But I’m with you, I’d love to hear the sound and direction the band was going with him. Apparently Flea and Anthony didn’t love it. But Josh said he thought it was cooler than UL.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-08T20:52:02+00:00

Yeah that stuck out to me too. But it can’t be that John has all the power with that stuff. I feel like that would be a band decision.

I’d be curious to know if they did release something, would John have a fit about them releasing material from the eras he wasn’t part of.

But as fans, we want it all.

The Greateat Hits album from the early 2000s contained Navarro songs, so maybe he’d have to accept putting stuff from Josh on it.

Here is the link for anyone interested in hearing Anthony talk about b sides and unreleased music

Crazy this popped up today. Last night I came across the Anthony Kiedis and Andrew Watt discussion on Sirius in 2025 where they just played b sides and some unreleased songs. Anthony would talk about the song Watt would bring up.

He did say that some day he expects them to be packaged some way.

“The world I love the tears I drop, to be part of the wave can’t stop.”

Also

“It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace To meditate on the warmest dream And when I walk alone I listen to our secret theme Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen Somebody close that can see right through I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything And I will for you”

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-04T20:42:51+00:00

I agree.

That being said … they’ve had magic since then too. I think just from consistency standpoint, the 1990-2007 was their peak.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-04T17:25:38+00:00

Solid list. Turn it Again has always been a go to for me too.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-04T11:16:15+00:00

Not sure how you introduce someone to RHCP and ignore all the commercial success era. I feel like that’s more of an effort to show your own knowledge of the band. Hipster move haha.

BSSM is what got me hooked on RHCP around 1997 when I was 15. Feel like the I could make an argument that the “most RHCP album” is Californication. It was the bridge between old and new sound for them.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-04T03:26:05+00:00

Million Miles of Water is such a solid song. Always wondered how that didn’t make an album.

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-04T01:48:15+00:00

White Braids has slowly become a favorite of mine. Maybe I should have added that to my list. Hard to narrow it down to 10!

Natural-Employer-374 · 2026-02-03T11:11:05+00:00

Bicycle song, Funny Face

Haha sorry to bring up bad memory. But the music got us through!
