XYZinfernoWhat band, artist, or song do you enjoy listening to that is widely disliked?
FreemanI’m a bit fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and really anything John Frusciante or Josh Klinghoffrr
TippaMyTongueNah, most of us appreciate both.
circuitfarmerFreaky Styley was the RHCP album that bridged rock and funk for me. It’s produced by George Clinton (he’s even lead vox on a track). Now I salivate over Parliament/Funkadelic and my friends think I’m crazy.
Guy DudemanI miss when RHCP was funky.
That’s like… anytime between 1982 and now
Untrue.
What? They’re still funky, always have been.
They definately have phases. Like By the way was clearly more 50s , Beatles and do wop insipired than funk. Klinghoffer were definately less funky overall too, except dark necessities did have a few solid tracks.
Go Robot is funky as heck. I love that song.
Agree. So is Sick Love. Same with their recent albums, which are much more funky than even Dark Necessities.
Nah. Hard disagree.

I legit have videos of my kids reacting to that song and stopping, freaking out and dancing their toddler asses off.
That kid had a case of toddler rock
For sure. It’s one of those I would love to share. But I have a thing about not putting my kids on the internet.
Freaky Styley is a fucking great album! I don’t recall the track with George Clinton as lead singer though, do you mean that if you want me to stay demo?
George Clinton is singing on Hollywood, at the very least.
I don’t think RHCP are widely disliked. They’ve been at the top of radio playlists for decades, they’re incredibly popular, and they sell out major venues every time they tour. RHCP is bad ass. Anyone who dislikes them probably also dislikes being happy.
Who the hell dislikes RHCP??
You would be surprised. They seem to be a very love them or hate them type of band. They were pretty wild in the early days too (pre cali), so had some bad press during a lot of the me too/cancel culture thing.
I’m a huge fan of Frusciante. Like he’s basically the reason I learned anything on guitar.
VrijgezelopkamersI do, I remember I once hitchhiked across Europe and my ride put on Stadium Arcadium. I almost died. And when it was over, the real surprise came. It’s a double CD.
I think RHCP is the best musical example of ‘Awful taste, great execution’ (for me). Good musicians, but it makes my fucking skin crawl.
Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao
