Great Band, 10/10!!  

[Deadeye | 1,604]

I voted 8.  If you caught me a day ago would have been 10.  Have to be in the mood for 90's alternative .

IMO, 90's and 80's are my favorite era for music.  Never find me giving an 8 to the peppers!

Maybe I could have done a 9, but can't take it back now.... but I could give it 'way, give it 'way, give it 'way now

Also congratulations Solid Snake!

gotta like rhcp

3/10 is my exact opinion of them. If I hear them on the radio I change the channel. 

[The Count | 624]

6/10. Not their fault, but is there a more overplayed band?

[RH | 5,422]

I gave them a 7. I mean, the instrumentation is a 9-10 for me but even as a kid in the 90s, I just didn't like the sound of the lead singers voice. Same is true for Incubus.

I saw a comment about them yesterday that summed up my feelings on them  perfectly.

I used to like them (at least their stuff that had radio play in the 80's through the mid-90's)...but their more current stuff is so off-putting that it makes me retroactively dislike their old stuff I used to enjoy.

[a3quit4s | 4,531]

9/10. My Friends is a great song among the many others they have. 

[LeatherRebel5150 | 1,135]

Never liked them, radio gets changed the second I recognize a note from any of their songs.

2/10

[TDIRunner | 2,999]

Very easy 8/10 for me.  Lots of good songs, plus they were great in The Chase.  

[JamesRobot | 6,257]

I love Chili Peppers up through One Hot Minute but they haven't been funky since 1995.  Everything after that is pretty meh.  So I'd say it all averages out to about a 7.  If you asked me when I was I high school I probably would have given them a 9.

[fox | 1,847]

For a band that was has been around as long as they have and been as hyped as they have, they have never released a truly great album.

They live or die by their singles and those seem pretty hit or miss with a lot coming out on the more annoying end of the spectrum.

[Hammerfestus | 4,209]

I enjoy them but not more than a 7s worth.  

[fox | 1,847]

Hur hur he said fornicate

[Skorp | 395]

5/10 for me. Not something I'd go my way to listen, but they are a good band and will listen to them from time to time.

Unpopular opinion:

One Hot Minute is the last true Chili Peppers album. When they were a new band in the early - mid 80's, they were asked to describe their music in an interview. I believe it was Flea who said "Bone Crunching Maniac Funk." The last album that could have any chance of meeting that description is OHM. It sucks that John Fruscante is a diva bitch and won't play any of those songs live, because the few videos that exist of the OHM tour show that those songs KILL live.

[nrslam | 501]

Solid 6. Plenty of good tunes, and plenty that I can't listen to.

[Quest4Nes | 377]

10/10 Finally one of my actual favorites

I love every album john frusciante and anthony kiedis make. 

 

Stadium Arcadium was so good and finally john is back now. Looking forward to what they make again.

Frusciante is back now.

 

I hate one hot minute. I can only dig a couple of those songs. I had it back in the day. I tried so hard to like it but Dave Navarro just wasnt doing it for me. I like early RHCP stuff too, but I like when they got away from entirely in your face funk and have some more melodic rock songs. Californication, By the Way, Stadium Arcadium are all just so good.

Stadium Arcadium didnt have a bad track and it was 2 CDs . I disagree with live and die by singles. You probably say that because californication was all singles lol

 

The sad thing is Ive had them on in class all the time. And only once has a kid even known who they were. It was depressing( and we are talking about high school kids, wouldnt play RHCP with young kids lol)
