Ehh debatable. I find their post-BSSM stuff pretty samey, but I might be biased because of how annoying and ubiquitous their fans at my school are.

i personally love by the way...honestly i consider it to be one of their classics now. one hot minute had its moments but without frusciante i found it hard to appreciate. californication was a return to prominence but your standard rock type sound. by the way just latched on to this chilled yet funky vibe and i loved it. stadium arcadium was weak imo.

pretty samey??? No way! that's when they started evolving! each album after BSSM is completely different from its predecessor! Just listen to the stuff off Stadium Arcadium and try to tell me it sounds anything like Californication. no way.

and i actually liked stadium. it can't compare to by the way in any way but its still a great album. it takes a little to recognized that they've changed, but hey, they're growing up.

and now that john's gone, flea should have a bigger role. so who knows what's coming...

I'd like to say Radiohead, they're the only big modern band I can think off with the same sort of cult like reverence that The Beatles seemed to get. But it doesn't feel right, because when The Beatles started experimenting they kept a very accessible pop-ness whereas Radiohead took it in other directions.

If I was only judging by a stream of great pop songs then I would hands down pick Why?, although he is not nearly as prolific - and the throne of The Beatles is a lot more than solid pop music. Maybe if he has a massive single and everyone discovers his discography retrospectively.

Otherwise I could probably get behind Fasho on RHCP.

There is no new funk. The whole premise of the band originally was immaturity and that's why they suck now. BTW who the frig are Switchfoot?

Southpark probably makes fun of a lot of your favorites. I mean, there's the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Barbara Streisand...
