red hot chili peppers...

[who cares?]

for the life of me, i cant understand why these guys are so popular..... they seem so average to me...

is there something i'm not getting? are these guys the supposed "saviors of rock" (God, how i loathe that expression.....)

22 years ago, they were pioneers.

Pick up Mother's Milk - things will be made clear. If you don't rock out to their cover of "Higher Ground", you have no soul.

After that, they hit cruise control for the most part, but Milk (and it's predecessors) show what they were capable of.

Mothers Milk was pretty damn good as was Blood Sugar Sex Magic. they werent pioneers at the time but i think that they were at thier second prime then.

I love Mother's Milk, but I also love Blood Sugar Sex Magic. I feel like after that, your cruise control statement applies.

I've never been more disappointed in a follow up than I was with Blood Sugar. Mother's Milk hit me at a perfect time and I literally wore the cassette out. Blood Sugar just left me shaking my head, wondering where the mojo went. I suspect, however, that a lot of that could be the difference between what a 19 year old liked and what a 21 year old was then into.

Huh. I actually played BSSM waaay more than Mother's Milk. But I got into the Chili Peppers when BSSM came out, so that was my first love of theirs.
