I personally think The Getaway is a hugely underrated album. I feel like some songs on that album is extremely good. My favorite is goodbye angels. Its just such amazing energy in it. I think that the getaway shows that rhcp still have so much to give to the music world.
I love Goodbye Angels too but my favorite on that album is The Longest Wave. It took me awhile to get around to listen to that album but honestly I really enjoyed it! My fave is still Stadium Arcadium followed (veryyy closely) but By the Way
The album came out the day I went to visit my ex to see if we could work things out. I bought it that morning, made the long drive to her house. We didn't get back together so it was a very long ride home but that album was released at the right time for me and connected with me so much. Having been a fan since I was 13 (I am almost 40) this album really connected with me as an adult. All of their albums connect with me in different ways. I loved their immature stuff when I was a kid, still do but the music they make now clicks with me being an adult as they have grown, evolved and matured and so have I
Hahaha I def knew Anthony's name. You pretty much always know the singer's first name. But the other one always changed. It was more like "the other ones", until Dave Navarro.
Usually people put bssm or californication as number one, so it was interesting to see another perspective. I remember liking stadium arcadium so I need to listen to it again.
The second Fruscainte stint...those 3 albums, californication, by the way and stadium arcadium stack up as the best run of 3 consecutive works by any group or artist of all time.
NIN's Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, The Fragile??? Bowie's Low, Heroes, Lodger??? Swan's trilogy: The Seer, To Be Kind, Glowing Man??? QOTSA's Self titled, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf?? Go listen to more music lmao.
Their first few albums are so underrated. I'm obsessed with their rough, chaotic, funky-punk sound. My personal ranking would be; 11. I'm With You, 10. Debut, 9. The Getaway, 8. By The Way, 7. Blood Sugar Sex Magik, 6. Stadium Arcadium, 5. One Hot Minute, 4. Californication, 3. Uplift Mofo Party Plan, 2. Freaky Styley and 1. Mother's Milk. But that's just me. Cool ranking though.
I personally prefer Blood Sugar Sex Magik over Californicatioj tbh. Most of the songs didn’t really stick with me, but a few were enjoyable. I may revisit it again however.
_skips _ They each have their own individual charm to them, but I would say they are some of the most definitive good sounding Chili Peppers albums to date.
Stadium Arcadium is the first album my brother and I got into and it was what made us true fans of the Chili Peppers! I love this album so much, and it might be one of my favorite albums of all time, up there with Green Day's American Idiot! I love to thank my brother for introducing me to this group and this album specifically, because it KICKS ASS!!!!
I think this was pretty spot on with my own ranking! I would have put The Getaway a little higher, and I agree it is their most underrated album BY FAR and will likely continue to be. It's a fantastic album with a great sound that is taking the Chilis in a slightly different direction!
Finally someone agrees what I think! The getaway has some of the coolest riffs and bass grooves! Every time Go Robot plays, I get so happy! If people say it’s boring music, they don’t know how cool it sounds if you listen twice!
My favorite album has always been californication but I have been recently listening to stadium arcadium a lot more in depth since your list and it has gave me a new perspective of what the band was expressing. thanks for that, love your videos!
My personal ranking: There Is Nothing Left to Lose. In Your Honor. The Colour and the Shape. Self-Titled. ESP&G. Concrete and Gold. One by One. Wasting Light. Sonic Highways.
I personally feel like Mother's Milk should have DEFINITELY been ranked higher than albums like I'm With You and The Getaway, but that's just my opinion.
I really like the album but John's heavier guitar tone doesn't suit him or the band. That's what John and the producer of that album were arguing about. It just feels forced and in my opinion it ruins the album not completely but a little bit. I still love it though and would put it above all other albums not made with John except for maybe Uplift.:)
Rockin' D I agree, Mothers Milk in my opinion should be way higher on the list. I would place it at #4, if I were to make a list (BSSM, By the Way, Californication,) of the top 4 records. I think it has a lot to do with Mothers Milk being my introduction to the band, I can see why he likes the newer albums better since he said he was born around the time of Mothers Milk. It holds a special place in my pre-pubescent life.🤣
In my opinion, The Getaway is my favourite Chili Peppers album and my favourite album of all time, purely because it got me into the Chili Peppers and allowed me to truly appreciate both music as a whole and Anthony Kiedis as a lyricist. Respect your opinion as always though my man
I dont think I would have a single album in the same spot as you but I guess thats how music is. Mothers Milk oozes Chili Peppers and I feel you are slightly favouring their commercial successes. Freakey Styley is also funky as hell
I didn’t even know this video came out yesterday. Oof. This is a very good ranked video! This is probably my favorite ranked video yet! Although I’d probably put By The Way at 3, Stadium at 2, and BSSM at 1. Very good video, Jon!
For me, it’s ‘by the way’ because I used to work weekends in a sports shop and I have vivid memories of all the staff listening to it and absolutely loving it.
Even though I'm not the biggest Red Hot Chili Peppers fan (although I would like to dive more into their discography), I like a handful of their songs that I've heard on the radio. Great video, as always!
I used to hate this band because... get this, I thought they looked weird. (Keep in mind I had never heard one of their songs.) Then once, I just said f**k it, and I listened to stadium arcadium... and it was great.
Stadium Arcadium is one of my favorite albums of all time as well. My dad would have this album playing all the time with me in the car as a kid. It’s one album that’s never gotten old to me to this day and has a feeling so unique to any piece of music I’ve ever listened to.
Blood Sugar Sex Magik alone is objectively one of the greatest, if not, THE GREATEST, Alternative Rock album of all time. This epic masterpiece marked a pivotal point in their direction, as they divulged in deeper lyricism with poetic and melancholic, yet hedonistic songwriting. Frusciante catapulted their songs with original guitar structure/composition, combining funk and psychedelic with indie rock-esque melodic sensibilities, and with Flea, formed a beautiful synergy that laid the groundwork for their subsequent albums, along with influencing funk metal/alt. metal, rap rock and alt. rock for years to come. BSSM revels in its artistic narratives and creativity, detailing the idyllic paradise of sexuality, spirituality and the conflicts between hedonism and stoicism an artistic statement. This lingering beauty is a monolith of music. OHM deals with the inner turmoil and nihilism that comes with a severe addiction to drugs. Anthony struggles with his isolation from his mind, as he desperately hopes to find that trapdoor to escape his asylum. The psychedelic atmosphere mixed with heavier undertones convey his hopeless state of meaninglessness; his fragile heart shatters and screams to his demons, wishing he could vanquish them. beautiful album was the breath of fresh air for RHCP, as they aspired, and successfully delivered, to make a melodic, summery and awe-inspiring rock record. Brimming with life and optimism as a contrast from the bleak, cynical atmosphere of One Hot Minute, the Peppers, with a revitalized Frusciante, created a swan song, or swan album, of the 90s, with a sense of hope for the future. After Anthony's success with sobriety, he pursues an idyllic character with Californication, as he records his travels and voyages of the world. Each track feels as if he's discovered a new place, with his emotions laid bare on those places and his sentiments evoking from said places. Some of the somberly tracks like Otherside, Emit Remmus and Scar Tissue were mature reflections on the past, and even divulged in a new state of tranquility in Porcelain and Road Trippin.' Hits like the clandestine cynicism of Californication exposed the ironic poignancy of fame as a mere charade of tragedy and disappointment. Along with epics like Parallel Universe, Around the World and This Velvet Glove, Californication not only brought RHCP back into the limelight, but also produced a plethora of the greatest songs of the 90s. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the elegance of optimism and the rejection of materialism. One of the greatest Alternative Rock albums, and albums in general, of ALL TIME. By The Way expands on these ideas in a more personal, secular manner. Anthony contemplates his relationships with people as he tries to discover his purpose and contribution to the world. In this regard, By The Way is their most humanistic, spiritual and vibrant album yet. Anyway, RHCP isn't as immature as most believe. Quite a few of their albums divulge into a deeper, more introspective theme throughout, and Frusciante's abstract, yet delicate virtuosity mixed with Flea's rhythmic sensibilities create that synergy in which Anthony conveys his messages. Without Anthony's abstract idealism and his bouts with his demons, RHCP couldn't be the band they are. RHCP is too idiosyncratic, heavy, and powerful to ever be compared to such miniscule acts. They suck the superficiality out of modern day existence, transform the energy into a spherical monolith roaming amongst the infinite skies, until the winds catch on and dance with the monolith, utterly destroying it into a barrage of light. That glimmering shine glides to all the creatures roaming this land, healing the hearts of the poor and raising them from their ashes, giving life a new hope to carry on with the river of time. That is the absolute reality of RHCP, that the world needs to understand. I love you.
FireNinja606 you do realize Frusciante wrote at least half of the lyrics on the albums he contributed too. Ever notice how the albums John isn't on are complete shit sandwiches?
By The Way and Stadium Arcadium has a whole mess of great songs that a few RHCP fans don't know about. For example in By The Way (Midnight, Universally Speaking, Venice Queen, The Zephyr Song, This is the place, Dosed etc.) and in Stadium Arcadium (Strip My Mind, Hard To Concentrate, Death of a Martian, She looks to me, etc.)
I will recommend this video to my friend for you Jon. But is it weird I think Pea from One Hot Minute is actually a good song? I love it and I feel like I'm the only one.
Yes I’m so excited for this video and oh my gosh it took me so long to get through all their albums just listening to them I can’t imagine ranking them and making a video great job Jon
Gotta say I don’t agree with the rankings towards the end but thats beauty of having your own opinion! Personally for me, BSSM front to back was the best they’ve ever been 1) BSSM 2)Californication 3) By the way 4) stadium arcadium 5) the getaway 6) im with you 7) mothers milk 8) freaky styley 9) one hot minute 10) UMPP 11) self titled
John Frusciante back in the Rhcp, used to really like the old material from Hillel. And let's be honest, it is for sure the best material to play live, it has a huge raw energy. Just go watch some live performances from 99 live Bizzarre of Anti-beat box band, or me and my friends (2006 version is crazy as well), sex rap, green haven in 1990, yertle trilogy...
Although I think IWY should be a little higher, I freaking love this list and the individual song mentions are great too. Tear, especially. That one hits you and gets you when you need it the most. There's a beautiful mix of melancholy and joy that makes the song one of the best RHCP deep cuts. Good work!
I like the way you see The Getaway. It is very underated indeed and it deserves more love. Kinda. Not that bad of an album but compared to what the band gave us in the past, I was surely disappointed. Also, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is one of their best, funky effort in my opinion, It's just really fun to listen to !
I really love their first 5 albums with Freaky Stylie being my favorite. Their first 5 have a very unique blend of funk, rock, rap, and punk and to be honest I like their albums with Josh but I'm not crazy about the albums they did since californication.
dude, what you said about by the way... i feel you bro! i've always been saying the same! and the fact that you put stadium arcadium and by the way ahead of californication and blood sugar sex magic... the recognition you gave to the getaway! man, we definitely share some opinions!
You didn’t talk about snow with stadium arcadium, ik it’s just another single but the way the guitar bass vocals and drums just slam together to create one of the greatest songs of all time
exact comment I was looking for, it is absolutely criminal Snow was not mentioned at all. It is my favorite song of all time, that guitar from Frusciante is untouchable and so beautiful every time
@@HotStrange the reason why I put it there is because it depends on my mood. It dosent mean the now now is better demon days necessarily, don't get me wrong, out of the 6 albums there's only one I actually dislike (The Fall) other then that I love them all. How would you rank the albums?
wholeheartedly agree with this listing especially the top 3. Stadium will remain one of if not my absolute favourite album forever and I enjoyed a lot of your song callouts. You clearly took the time to really experience these albums
I think you undersold the first albums. It wasn’t meant to be the most amazing perfect music in the world for most but it was supposed to be fun and highly sexualized and raw as hell. They grew up in the up and coming punk scene and they blended their love/passion for funk music into their punk sound creating their own unique sound! That transformative time made them into the band they are today.
1- One Hot Minute 2- By the Way 3- Blood Sugar 4- Californication 5- Stadium Arcadium 6- Mothers Milk 7- I’m With You 8- Uplift Mofo Party Plan 9- Getaway 10- Freaky Styley 11- Self Titled
2nd era Frusciantes guitar work is so under appreciated, people dislike him mostly because he doesnt play fast to which I disagree and say he is probobly one of the best musicians out there.
He was a beast during Mother's Milk and he brought back some crazy soloing during Stadium Arciadium ! Frusciante's playing was never about speed or technicity but more about feel, which is why I love his work on Californication and even more on his solo albums.
I knew there was a reason to stay up late in the east coast 😂 also I agree on the first records being meh, their career in the beginning sounded like teenage boys in heat (yes I know they were in their 20s) but it sounded too generic to me with the classic sex drugs and rock and roll writing styles. I think they got better with time as they matured 💯
my rank: 1. Stadium Arcadium 2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik 3. Californication 4. By the Way 5. I'm With You 6. Unlimited Love 7. The Getaway 8. One Hot Minute 9. Mother's Milk 10. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan 11. Freaky Styley 12. The RHCP
I actually agree with your list. I really don't like their 80s and eaely 90s albums. OAll the albums from Blood Sugar Malik and onwards is when the Chilliys got better.
Yeeeessss!!! Stadium Arcadium 😍😍 It’s my go to feel good album when I just want to make an average day just a little more fun. Instantly gets me in a dancing mood with Dani California and everything that comes after just keeps me in a great state 😊
John Frusciante: Edgy teen >> Drug Addict >> Shaved good guy >> Your typical clumsy, frail, bullied short-haired classmate >> Long-haired nerd who looks like Jesus >> Still a long-haired nerd who looks like Jesus-- but this time he's already a legend
Here's my ranking (minus The Getaway since I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet) 10. One Hot Minute 9. I'm With You 8. The Red Hot Chili Peppers 7. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan 6. Freaky Styley 5. By The Way 4. Mother's Milk 3. Californication 2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik 1. Stadium Arcadium
My list goes as follows: 01. Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) - Absolute funky masterpiece. I honestly think this is one of the best rock albums ever made. Highlights: I love the whole album, but my 3 favourites are The Power of Equality, Blood Sugar Sex Magik and If You Have to Ask. 02. Californication (1999) - Absolute Alt Rock masterpiece. A perfect mix of the funky sound of the past and the melodic sound introduced on this album. Just a rock classic overall. Highlights: Californication, Around the World and Scar Tissue. 03. Mother's Milk (1989) - The production was troubled, but I really like this album. Their second most metal album and one of their, if not the most intense in energy. Some lyrics did not age well and the sound is quite dated, but I think the overall quality surpass these problems. Highlights: Higher Ground, Taste the Pain and Nobody Weird Like Me. 04. One Hot Minute (1995) - I really love the Funk Metal meets Psychedelic Rock sound of the album. It may be their darkest album, musically speaking. I think it is criminally underated. Highlights: Aeroplane, Coffee Shop and Warped. 05. I'm With You (2011) - I just love the experimentation of the album. Yes, an experimental album for RHCP standards, but still a new sound for the band. When I first listened to it back in 2011 (actually, their first album I listened to on release) I loved the basslines, but I wasn't sure what to feel abou the album. After many listenings, this album has really grown on me. Apart from BSSM and Californication, it has the best flow of all RHCP discography. Highlights: Factory of Faith, Even You Brutus? and Goodbye Hooray. 06. By the Way (2002) - Classic songs on this one and the band went a step further on the melodic sound of Californication. It's probably their least funky album, but the good stuff is really good indeed. My problem with it is that the album is not well balanced. There are really great songs but also some "skip!" songs. Highlights: Can't Stop, By the Way and Throw Away Your Television. 07. Stadium Arcadium (2006) - There are some stellar compositions here and a really good mix of all the different sounds the band approached along the years. It could be number 3... if it was at least an hour shorter. Double albums are really tough to pull off and I think this wasn't the best choice for the band. It's unnecessarily long and there are too much filler, which kills the flow of the album quite a few times. Highlights: Tell Me Baby, Hump de Bump and Torture Me. 08. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987) - It's aguarbly the most metal record they ever put, and as a metalhead I really like it. The production is still not that good but the songs are pretty good. The album is very balanced in quality, but there aren't many memorable songs. Highlights: Fight Like a Brave, Me and My Friends and Backwoods. 09. Freaky Styley (1985) - Production wise, is very thin sounding album, but the music is far better than that of the first album. There are some boring parts, but most of them are really fun. Highlights: Jungle Man, American Ghost Dance and Yertle the Turtle. 10. The Getaway (2016) - There are really good songs on this one, but the album as a whole is just... boring af. I think it lacks the intesity of their previous discography. Also, I'm not much of a fan of the pop sound they sought on this album. Highlights: Dark Necessities, This Ticoderonga and Dreams of a Samurai. 11. The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984) - I pretty much agree with you, just a meh album. Highlights: True Men Don't Kill Coyotes, Get Up and Jump and Out in L.A.
Nice ranking Jon :) I would rank them like this: 1. Californiacation (10/10) 2. By The Way (10/10) 3. One Hot Minute (9.5/10) 4. I'm With You (9.5/10) 5. Stadium Arcadium (9/10) 6. The Getaway (8/10) 7. Blood Sugar Sex Magic (7/10) I'm not a huge fan of the other records, so I guess they all get last place.
Pretty spot on, Jon. I prefer the later Chili Peppers as well. They’ve always been a great band but I think they really showed their artistry and technical abilities on albums like By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. Great video.
Great list dude!! I'll always favor BSSM over all haha. Also, in by the way, I've wondered this. Is it pronounced "tear" as in teardrops or "tear" as in tear in the paper. "This is my time this is my tear, seems to me that this is no place for playing solitaire." It rhymes with itself XD. Also, it's Throw Away You're Television, not turn off. They don't want you to just turn it off, they want you to throw it out the fucking window haha. I've subscribed, great vid dude.
I know ahh I hate that I didn't catch the mispronunciations while editing but I almost missed my deadline for uploading this and didn't check as carefully as I should have. I'm pretty sure it is TEAR like tearing a piece of paper, but I messed it up due to having my mind on Tearjerker from One Hot Minute. Thanks a lot, appreciate the sub.

Where would you rank Unlimited Love? I'm guessing #5
The Getaway was so overhated. Saw them on the tour last year and they kicked ass
Dylan Connely i really did like the getaway i thought it was great.
Mostly deluded Frusciante Fanboys
Rodrigo Gil John is arguably my favorite guitarist ever and I can accept the fact that Josh is also very good. Many others can’t seem to realize that
Agree, John is a legend, but Josh was the best possible replacement.
John is my favourite guitarist and getaway was v fucking good
I personally think The Getaway is a hugely underrated album. I feel like some songs on that album is extremely good. My favorite is goodbye angels. Its just such amazing energy in it. I think that the getaway shows that rhcp still have so much to give to the music world.
Issekroger *are extremely good
it`s not underrated at all,its just boring,i have to get stoned to listen to it
Issekroger I couldn’t agree more
I love Goodbye Angels too but my favorite on that album is The Longest Wave. It took me awhile to get around to listen to that album but honestly I really enjoyed it! My fave is still Stadium Arcadium followed (veryyy closely) but By the Way
I agree its awesome.
By the Way will always be important to me
The album came out the day I went to visit my ex to see if we could work things out. I bought it that morning, made the long drive to her house. We didn't get back together so it was a very long ride home but that album was released at the right time for me and connected with me so much. Having been a fan since I was 13 (I am almost 40) this album really connected with me as an adult. All of their albums connect with me in different ways. I loved their immature stuff when I was a kid, still do but the music they make now clicks with me being an adult as they have grown, evolved and matured and so have I
Great album for cleaning up the mind and body
Word. By The Way is definitely their bedroom-homebased project
My all-time favourite. Not for any specific reason but the sound. Mellow, melodic, sonic, beautiful.
It’s their best album
I proudly know them all by name: Flea, Will Ferrell, the singer and the other one. #Knowledge
The drummer is not will Ferrell lol
Flea, Will Ferrell, the singer and Jesus.
Hahaha I def knew Anthony's name. You pretty much always know the singer's first name. But the other one always changed. It was more like "the other ones", until Dave Navarro.
Chad Smith,not Will Ferrell.
The other one is one of the most talented musicians of all time
Mother’s Milk is very underrated. Good Time Boys, Nobody Weird Like Me and Subway to Venus are amazing tracks and no one can convince me otherwise
Magic Johnson and nobody weird like me hit different
TSTMUWWAT is a awesome demo track too.
Usually people put bssm or californication as number one, so it was interesting to see another perspective. I remember liking stadium arcadium so I need to listen to it again.
The second Fruscainte stint...those 3 albums, californication, by the way and stadium arcadium stack up as the best run of 3 consecutive works by any group or artist of all time.
Absolutely agree. Right in my teen age to young twenties. Such a sweet spot for listening to music.
Agreed.
Anthony Toscano Gorillaz self titled, demon days, plastic beach, and Alice In Chains facelift, dirt, self titled
What about the Seargent pepper era of the Beatles?
NIN's Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, The Fragile???
Bowie's Low, Heroes, Lodger???
Swan's trilogy: The Seer, To Be Kind, Glowing Man???
QOTSA's Self titled, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf??

Its not that theyre underrated, its just that most RHCP fans aren’t crazy about punk.
I haven't heard Freaky Styley or Uplift Mofo but Mother's Milk is definitely the best I've heard from them.
Mothers milk and stadium Arcadium for me 🤝 nice to see someone else who likes mothers milk
It was a new genre Punk/Funk
is just they became very popular and people find them by the radio hits and balads, like the guy in the video
I personally prefer Blood Sugar Sex Magik over Californicatioj tbh. Most of the songs didn’t really stick with me, but a few were enjoyable. I may revisit it again however.
Adam Samuelson I think num 2 blood sugar and num 1 californication
Adam Samuelson I mean either one of them can be num 1 since they're so good
_skips _ They each have their own individual charm to them, but I would say they are some of the most definitive good sounding Chili Peppers albums to date.
Stadium Arcadium is the first album my brother and I got into and it was what made us true fans of the Chili Peppers!

I love to thank my brother for introducing me to this group and this album specifically, because it KICKS ASS!!!!
Yeah boi i love some Green Day
Exactly the same as you dude! My initials are also JR.
Stadium Arcadium is definitely one of my all time favorite albums too, every song is great and there isn't one that I don't like on it.
Dane Cruz Yea dear,so agree ❤👏
I can name 8 songs on that album I don’t like…
I think this was pretty spot on with my own ranking! I would have put The Getaway a little higher, and I agree it is their most underrated album BY FAR and will likely continue to be. It's a fantastic album with a great sound that is taking the Chilis in a slightly different direction!

In Your Honor.
The Colour and the Shape.
Self-Titled.
ESP&G.
Concrete and Gold.
One by One.
Wasting Light.
Sonic Highways.
@@HotStrange id rank wasting light higher...
Detlef Davis yeah now that I think of it I’d probably switch ESP&G with Wasting Light. Went back to it recently and it’s a great album.
@@HotStrange 😅 nice

Dosed is my all time favorite song. By the way is incredible and full of soul.

Thank you for singing the praises of Brendan's Death Song!! In my top 5 RHCP songs and nobody knows about it
Stadium Arcadium is a quadruple album on vinyl
I know, I own it!
ARTV That's awesome man!
I dont think I would have a single album in the same spot as you but I guess thats how music is. Mothers Milk oozes Chili Peppers and I feel you are slightly favouring their commercial successes. Freakey Styley is also funky as hell
Mother Milk is too low imo. Badass songs like Higher Ground are on there
@@VarsityAthlete04 mother’s milk was the one that got me into rhcp
Loooooooove freaky Styley, that and Sugar sex magic a re clearlllly their best:)
@@philippboetcher9959 the uplift Mofo Party Plan wasn’t bad though
I liked there cover of higher grounds in that one
I didn’t even know this video came out yesterday. Oof. This is a very good ranked video! This is probably my favorite ranked video yet! Although I’d probably put By The Way at 3, Stadium at 2, and BSSM at 1. Very good video, Jon!
Bssm is their best album
Agreed
Definitely agreed
For me, it’s ‘by the way’ because I used to work weekends in a sports shop and I have vivid memories of all the staff listening to it and absolutely loving it.
Foo Fighters ranked?
Can you do Blur? I'd like to see your take on them.
Even though I'm not the biggest Red Hot Chili Peppers fan (although I would like to dive more into their discography), I like a handful of their songs that I've heard on the radio. Great video, as always!
TheDuffyGMER64 do check them out! Especially the top three on this list. Three beautiful records.
Can you do Metallica? Great vid, really peaked my interest.
Serj Hetfield I believe he's not really a fan of heavy metal outside of Avenged Sevenfold.
Or BMTH
He actually is a devout fan of doom metal, you should ask ranking Electric Wizard albums to him
Or MAIDEN!?
JackHammer87 Well he did review Hardwired. I’d love to know what he thinks about the albums. They’re my favorite band.
I used to hate this band because... get this, I thought they looked weird. (Keep in mind I had never heard one of their songs.) Then once, I just said f**k it, and I listened to stadium arcadium... and it was great.
Ben Cool Dude listen to denzel curry and youd probably have the same experience
What the fuck was wrong with you they even looked awesome! Lol
cornerell this is NateisLame’s throwaway account lol
By the way has such a special place in my heart
It’s really interesting to see all of the different eras of the Chili Peppers through these videos
You pretty much nailed my opinions on this ranking.
*Stadium Arcadium is their magnum opus.*
By The Way is my top favourite Chili Peppers album in many ways, with Can’t Stop being my favourite song too.
Mr basic
Around The World and Can't Stop are tied for #1 for me
omg I'm exactly the same!!!!
Stadium Arcadium is one of my favorite albums of all time as well. My dad would have this album playing all the time with me in the car as a kid. It’s one album that’s never gotten old to me to this day and has a feeling so unique to any piece of music I’ve ever listened to.
I ordered it, It's coming in tomorrow:)
Blood Sugar Sex Magik alone is objectively one of the greatest, if not, THE GREATEST, Alternative Rock album of all time. This epic masterpiece marked a pivotal point in their direction, as they divulged in deeper lyricism with poetic and melancholic, yet hedonistic songwriting. Frusciante catapulted their songs with original guitar structure/composition, combining funk and psychedelic with indie rock-esque melodic sensibilities, and with Flea, formed a beautiful synergy that laid the groundwork for their subsequent albums, along with influencing funk metal/alt. metal, rap rock and alt. rock for years to come. BSSM revels in its artistic narratives and creativity, detailing the idyllic paradise of sexuality, spirituality and the conflicts between hedonism and stoicism an artistic statement. This lingering beauty is a monolith of music. OHM deals with the inner turmoil and nihilism that comes with a severe addiction to drugs. Anthony struggles with his isolation from his mind, as he desperately hopes to find that trapdoor to escape his asylum. The psychedelic atmosphere mixed with heavier undertones convey his hopeless state of meaninglessness; his fragile heart shatters and screams to his demons, wishing he could vanquish them. beautiful album was the breath of fresh air for RHCP, as they aspired, and successfully delivered, to make a melodic, summery and awe-inspiring rock record. Brimming with life and optimism as a contrast from the bleak, cynical atmosphere of One Hot Minute, the Peppers, with a revitalized Frusciante, created a swan song, or swan album, of the 90s, with a sense of hope for the future. After Anthony's success with sobriety, he pursues an idyllic character with Californication, as he records his travels and voyages of the world. Each track feels as if he's discovered a new place, with his emotions laid bare on those places and his sentiments evoking from said places. Some of the somberly tracks like Otherside, Emit Remmus and Scar Tissue were mature reflections on the past, and even divulged in a new state of tranquility in Porcelain and Road Trippin.' Hits like the clandestine cynicism of Californication exposed the ironic poignancy of fame as a mere charade of tragedy and disappointment. Along with epics like Parallel Universe, Around the World and This Velvet Glove, Californication not only brought RHCP back into the limelight, but also produced a plethora of the greatest songs of the 90s. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the elegance of optimism and the rejection of materialism. One of the greatest Alternative Rock albums, and albums in general, of ALL TIME. By The Way expands on these ideas in a more personal, secular manner. Anthony contemplates his relationships with people as he tries to discover his purpose and contribution to the world. In this regard, By The Way is their most humanistic, spiritual and vibrant album yet.
Anyway, RHCP isn't as immature as most believe. Quite a few of their albums divulge into a deeper, more introspective theme throughout, and Frusciante's abstract, yet delicate virtuosity mixed with Flea's rhythmic sensibilities create that synergy in which Anthony conveys his messages. Without Anthony's abstract idealism and his bouts with his demons, RHCP couldn't be the band they are. RHCP is too idiosyncratic, heavy, and powerful to ever be compared to such miniscule acts. They suck the superficiality out of modern day existence, transform the energy into a spherical monolith roaming amongst the infinite skies, until the winds catch on and dance with the monolith, utterly destroying it into a barrage of light. That glimmering shine glides to all the creatures roaming this land, healing the hearts of the poor and raising them from their ashes, giving life a new hope to carry on with the river of time. That is the absolute reality of RHCP, that the world needs to understand.
I love you.
Why did u write so much lol
FireNinja606 you do realize Frusciante wrote at least half of the lyrics on the albums he contributed too. Ever notice how the albums John isn't on are complete shit sandwiches?
Juan Valdez
He’s a great lyricist, that’s one of the reasons he left the peppers
Check out his solo work some time
By The Way and Stadium Arcadium has a whole mess of great songs that a few RHCP fans don't know about. For example in By The Way (Midnight, Universally Speaking, Venice Queen, The Zephyr Song, This is the place, Dosed etc.) and in Stadium Arcadium (Strip My Mind, Hard To Concentrate, Death of a Martian, She looks to me, etc.)
JulzJulzzJulzzz and you didn't even mention Venice Queen.
Ahhhh Venice Queen and zephyr song tho
Ok I'll add that.
Dosed is my favourite song from By the way

I will recommend this video to my friend for you Jon. But is it weird I think Pea from One Hot Minute is actually a good song? I love it and I feel like I'm the only one.
I like it...I suppose. I don’t care one way or the other about it but I don’t hate it.
ARTV cool cool. Great video by the way Jon!
I love Pea!!
that's one of my faves off the album what a jam!
Danielle Rothwell hell yea
Nice ranking
Yes I’m so excited for this video and oh my gosh it took me so long to get through all their albums just listening to them I can’t imagine ranking them and making a video great job Jon
Glad to see By the Way ranked so high. Great album.
Gotta say I don’t agree with the rankings towards the end but thats beauty of having your own opinion! Personally for me, BSSM front to back was the best they’ve ever been
1) BSSM
2)Californication
3) By the way
4) stadium arcadium
5) the getaway
6) im with you
7) mothers milk
8) freaky styley
9) one hot minute
10) UMPP
11) self titled
John Frusciante back in the Rhcp, used to really like the old material from Hillel. And let's be honest, it is for sure the best material to play live, it has a huge raw energy. Just go watch some live performances from 99 live Bizzarre of Anti-beat box band, or me and my friends (2006 version is crazy as well), sex rap, green haven in 1990, yertle trilogy...
Great job, Jon :)
Although I think IWY should be a little higher, I freaking love this list and the individual song mentions are great too. Tear, especially. That one hits you and gets you when you need it the most. There's a beautiful mix of melancholy and joy that makes the song one of the best RHCP deep cuts.
Good work!
Thanks a lot!
Stadium Arcadium is a pure masterpiece
I agree
Pure shit you mean…
I like the way you see The Getaway. It is very underated indeed and it deserves more love. Kinda. Not that bad of an album but compared to what the band gave us in the past, I was surely disappointed.
Also, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is one of their best, funky effort in my opinion, It's just really fun to listen to !
I really love their first 5 albums with Freaky Stylie being my favorite. Their first 5 have a very unique blend of funk, rock, rap, and punk and to be honest I like their albums with Josh but I'm not crazy about the albums they did since californication.
It's great to see Jon's a 00's RHCP (and Green Day) fan like me!
Stadium Arcadium is my favorite. When I was a kid my dad always played it in the car. I grew up with that Album making it my favorite!
Although my personal list may vary from this one, I've got to I can respectfully agree with this one
their albums with hillel and jack were awesome, they should be more recognized
Yeah im not digging the hate on the ranking for the 80s albums. The sellout period got too much love
dude, what you said about by the way... i feel you bro! i've always been saying the same!
and the fact that you put stadium arcadium and by the way ahead of californication and blood sugar sex magic... the recognition you gave to the getaway!
man, we definitely share some opinions!
That's what's up! Not a ton of people agree with me on those things
One Hot Minute is heavy and groovy, therefore my favorite
Agreed man definitely my fav album too
Uplift Mofo is better than I'm With You and The Getaway
Can't agree more ! Funky Crime rules !
Not better than The Getaway but yeah. It shouldn't be this low
Totally agree. Walkin on down the road is a great one and the album was pure energy.
Behind the Sun is still one of my personal favorites of all time
They are all equal to me
16:38 you can see Thom yorke dancing to Dani California!! OMG
Maybe do one of these for Breaking Benjamin please? Good vid btw
You didn’t talk about snow with stadium arcadium, ik it’s just another single but the way the guitar bass vocals and drums just slam together to create one of the greatest songs of all time
exact comment I was looking for, it is absolutely criminal Snow was not mentioned at all. It is my favorite song of all time, that guitar from Frusciante is untouchable and so beautiful every time
Do a gorillaz ranked.
Plastic Beach.

@@HotStrange the reason why I put it there is because it depends on my mood. It dosent mean the now now is better demon days necessarily, don't get me wrong, out of the 6 albums there's only one I actually dislike (The Fall) other then that I love them all. How would you rank the albums?
My top 5, (not in order)
1. By the way
2 blood sugar sex magic
3 stadium arcadium
4 mother's milk
5 Californiacation
wholeheartedly agree with this listing especially the top 3. Stadium will remain one of if not my absolute favourite album forever and I enjoyed a lot of your song callouts. You clearly took the time to really experience these albums
Appreciate it. I did take a lot of time with these albums.
Damn for once I agree with an albums ranked video
and yeah I agree about just listening to individual songs rather than the whole album
Stadium Arcadium is one of the greatest contributions to music, ever.
I think you undersold the first albums. It wasn’t meant to be the most amazing perfect music in the world for most but it was supposed to be fun and highly sexualized and raw as hell. They grew up in the up and coming punk scene and they blended their love/passion for funk music into their punk sound creating their own unique sound! That transformative time made them into the band they are today.
Freaky Styley's kinda growing on me tbf
Thank you for doing this episode Jon, I know it’s been exceptionally stressful for this episode but I really appreciate it. Take it easy though
Thank you!
ARTV not a problem my man. I love your content but you deserve a break from time to time
John, your channel had been shaping my music taste since 2016 (i'm 19 btw)

2nd era Frusciantes guitar work is so under appreciated, people dislike him mostly because he doesnt play fast to which I disagree and say he is probobly one of the best musicians out there.
He was a beast during Mother's Milk and he brought back some crazy soloing during Stadium Arciadium ! Frusciante's playing was never about speed or technicity but more about feel, which is why I love his work on Californication and even more on his solo albums.
When he gets going Frusciante is a god when playing.
Wet Sand is one of the best songs ever made
I knew there was a reason to stay up late in the east coast 😂 also I agree on the first records being meh, their career in the beginning sounded like teenage boys in heat (yes I know they were in their 20s) but it sounded too generic to me with the classic sex drugs and rock and roll writing styles. I think they got better with time as they matured 💯
Cosmic Royale Agree 💯
my rank:
1. Stadium Arcadium
2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik
3. Californication

Mother's milk and freaky styley are probably my favourite
My favorite album for sure is stadium arcadium and the getaway isn't bad just need to listen to it more to like it
I actually agree with your list. I really don't like their 80s and eaely 90s albums. OAll the albums from Blood Sugar Malik and onwards is when the Chilliys got better.
KarltoonTV so u dont like the early 90s red hot? But you like bssm,what?
My bad. I didn;t realize that the BSSM came out in 91'. I guess I don't like their 80s stuff.
KarltoonTV what u kidding i mean Subway to Venus Magic Johnson mothers milk Freaky style really?
Jerome valeska Na. Not good.
i agree with you. they were far too experimental in the early to mid 80s for my personal taste. Mother’s Milk is when they got good IMO
I wrote down a list and came up with the EXACT SAME ORDER haha. Stadium Arcadium is absolute gold!
Yeeeessss!!! Stadium Arcadium 😍😍 It’s my go to feel good album when I just want to make an average day just a little more fun. Instantly gets me in a dancing mood with Dani California and everything that comes after just keeps me in a great state 😊
John Frusciante:
Edgy teen >> Drug Addict >> Shaved good guy >> Your typical clumsy, frail, bullied short-haired classmate >> Long-haired nerd who looks like Jesus >> Still a long-haired nerd who looks like Jesus-- but this time he's already a legend
A Taylor Swift Ranked would be interesting. I’ve also been hoping for a Queens of the Stone Age ranked too.
Both should be happening this year.
ARTV Can't wait for QOTSA. I've already got my own prediction on your exact list.
15:14 "turn off your telivision" i cant haha
Waiting for an Avenged Sevenfold ranking.
Same.
1) Stadium Arcadium.
2) By the Way
3) Blood Sugar Sex Magik
4) Californiacation
5) The Getaway
Here's my ranking (minus The Getaway since I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet)
10. One Hot Minute
9. I'm With You
8. The Red Hot Chili Peppers
7. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
6. Freaky Styley
5. By The Way
4. Mother's Milk
3. Californication
2. Blood Sugar Sex Magik
1. Stadium Arcadium
Really amazing video Sir :D keep on the good work
My list goes as follows:
01. Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991)
- Absolute funky masterpiece. I honestly think this is one of the best rock albums ever made. Highlights: I love the whole album, but my 3 favourites are The Power of Equality, Blood Sugar Sex Magik and If You Have to Ask.
02. Californication (1999)
- Absolute Alt Rock masterpiece. A perfect mix of the funky sound of the past and the melodic sound introduced on this album. Just a rock classic overall. Highlights: Californication, Around the World and Scar Tissue.
03. Mother's Milk (1989)
- The production was troubled, but I really like this album. Their second most metal album and one of their, if not the most intense in energy. Some lyrics did not age well and the sound is quite dated, but I think the overall quality surpass these problems. Highlights: Higher Ground, Taste the Pain and Nobody Weird Like Me.
04. One Hot Minute (1995)
- I really love the Funk Metal meets Psychedelic Rock sound of the album. It may be their darkest album, musically speaking. I think it is criminally underated. Highlights: Aeroplane, Coffee Shop and Warped.
05. I'm With You (2011)
- I just love the experimentation of the album. Yes, an experimental album for RHCP standards, but still a new sound for the band. When I first listened to it back in 2011 (actually, their first album I listened to on release) I loved the basslines, but I wasn't sure what to feel abou the album. After many listenings, this album has really grown on me. Apart from BSSM and Californication, it has the best flow of all RHCP discography. Highlights: Factory of Faith, Even You Brutus? and Goodbye Hooray.
06. By the Way (2002)
- Classic songs on this one and the band went a step further on the melodic sound of Californication. It's probably their least funky album, but the good stuff is really good indeed. My problem with it is that the album is not well balanced. There are really great songs but also some "skip!" songs. Highlights: Can't Stop, By the Way and Throw Away Your Television.
07. Stadium Arcadium (2006)
- There are some stellar compositions here and a really good mix of all the different sounds the band approached along the years. It could be number 3... if it was at least an hour shorter. Double albums are really tough to pull off and I think this wasn't the best choice for the band. It's unnecessarily long and there are too much filler, which kills the flow of the album quite a few times. Highlights: Tell Me Baby, Hump de Bump and Torture Me.
08. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987)
- It's aguarbly the most metal record they ever put, and as a metalhead I really like it. The production is still not that good but the songs are pretty good. The album is very balanced in quality, but there aren't many memorable songs. Highlights: Fight Like a Brave, Me and My Friends and Backwoods.
09. Freaky Styley (1985)
- Production wise, is very thin sounding album, but the music is far better than that of the first album. There are some boring parts, but most of them are really fun. Highlights: Jungle Man, American Ghost Dance and Yertle the Turtle.
10. The Getaway (2016)
- There are really good songs on this one, but the album as a whole is just... boring af. I think it lacks the intesity of their previous discography. Also, I'm not much of a fan of the pop sound they sought on this album. Highlights: Dark Necessities, This Ticoderonga and Dreams of a Samurai.
11. The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984)
- I pretty much agree with you, just a meh album. Highlights: True Men Don't Kill Coyotes, Get Up and Jump and Out in L.A.
Yes, I agree with your list -> BSSM is just top and Mothers Milks is so underrated
im afraid u don't like funky monks
1. BSSM
2. BTW
3. OHM
4. Californication
5. SA
6. Gateway
7. MM
8. IMY
You are a smart man stadium arcadium is one of the greatest albums ever created
Great Video Keep up the work
Nice ranking Jon :)
I would rank them like this:
1. Californiacation (10/10)
2. By The Way (10/10)
3. One Hot Minute (9.5/10)
4. I'm With You (9.5/10)
5. Stadium Arcadium (9/10)
6. The Getaway (8/10)
7. Blood Sugar Sex Magic (7/10)
I'm not a huge fan of the other records, so I guess they all get last place.
mother's milk is criminally underrated
Pretty spot on, Jon. I prefer the later Chili Peppers as well. They’ve always been a great band but I think they really showed their artistry and technical abilities on albums like By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. Great video.
my opinion, my top 3:
3: Californiacation
2: Stadium Arcadium
1: I’m with you
I don’t know what it is but I really like I’m with you
I agree with your ranking, but I'd mix up the top three thusly:
3. Stadium Arcadium
2. By the Way
1. Californication
I love Blood Sugar Sex Magik, it just feels so fucking good, and the album as a whole thing has a very unique style.
Sum 41 ranked
New found glory ranked
Or the offspring ranked
Please!!
Stadium arcadium is the example of the best the red hot chili peppers can (for sure my favourite album)
Mothers milk is much better than I’m with you
Opinion
Great list dude!! I'll always favor BSSM over all haha. Also, in by the way, I've wondered this. Is it pronounced "tear" as in teardrops or "tear" as in tear in the paper. "This is my time this is my tear, seems to me that this is no place for playing solitaire." It rhymes with itself XD. Also, it's Throw Away You're Television, not turn off. They don't want you to just turn it off, they want you to throw it out the fucking window haha. I've subscribed, great vid dude.
I know ahh I hate that I didn't catch the mispronunciations while editing but I almost missed my deadline for uploading this and didn't check as carefully as I should have. I'm pretty sure it is TEAR like tearing a piece of paper, but I messed it up due to having my mind on Tearjerker from One Hot Minute. Thanks a lot, appreciate the sub.
You should rank the offspring's albums
