1. Blood Sugar Sex Magik 2. Freaky Styley 3. Mother's Milk ----- 4. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan 5. One Hot Minute ----- 6. Californication 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers ----- 8. Stadium Arcadium 9. By the Way I break their albums up into four groups: 1. The first group is their best work. I can listen to each of these albums and thoroughly enjoy just about every song. 2. The second group is comprised of albums near their peak where I don't necessarily hate any of the songs but the quality isn't as steady throughout for me. 3. The third group is their two albums that have a handful of songs I absolutely LOVE--'Around the World', 'Get on Top' and 'True Men Don't Kill Coyotes', 'Get Up and Jump' for example--but the rest don't do it for me. 4. The fourth and final group are albums by the Chilis that I don't even listen to that often and I don't place them in much higher esteem than other bands work; and I love me some Chili Peppers. By the Way has a great single, 'Can't Stop', and Stadium has some high points too, but I haven't listened to those two albums more than a couple of times all of the way through because they get soo gawd damn boring! |

 I think Mother's Milk had the potential to be their best. But the production was so gosh darn bad. I know Flea was playing back there somewhere! And it kinda lacks the pure funk of Freaky Styley and overall length of BSSM... |

similar to V&F i'd break it down like this
freaky styley BSSM mother's milk uplift mofo party plan ---- one hot minute self title ---- californication by the way stadium arcadium first group being the same deal. great listens from start to finish for the most part. i do find BSSM kind of long now but it makes up for it in the end mostly. second group is solid but some passable tracks. last group is well, the last group. i don't not like it, i don't think it's bad per se, just grown apart or something.

Mine would be like this - I guess I'm the one to hold the unpopular opinion that By the Way is a good album.
Mother's Milk BSSM Freaky Styley Uplift Mofo Party Plan ---- One Hot Minute S/T By the Way ---- Californication Stadium Arcadium

to be perfectly honest i've never heard 'by the way' the album. i've heard the radio singles and that was it. while i 'shouldn't' have listed it i'm pretty certain that's where it would fit in my overall view of the bands output.

 Seriously, if you listen to RHCP for Flea then how can you like By the Way? |
