My Top Ten Red Hot Chili Pepper Songs

The Red Hot Chili peppers formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. They've sold over fifty million albums worldwide, have won seven Grammy Awards and have been immensely successful throughout the years. They're known for their funky style of music, weird personalities and their propensity to want to get naked onstage.

When the band first formed, they seemed to rely on fast lyrical segments that were rap-driven. Since they've formed, they've continued to grow and change, and many of their songs are less rap-driven, and sound far more melodic and rock-like.

Dani California is a relatively new Chili pepper tune. While it's not as good as some of their other songs in my opinion, it's still good enough to make my top ten list. It's a catchy song that I had to listen to a few times before I really started to like it.

Like most Red Hot Chili Pepper songs, I find this song catchy. It's mellower than a lot of their songs, but I think that's part of the appeal. I like how in the middle of the song it starts to pick up and gain energy. In any case, it's an excellent song.

Found this clip of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the Letterman show performing, My Friends. What's better is that the drummer has a broken arm, yet still manages to pull off this song just fine. It seems that even on Letterman, The Red Hot Chili Peppers can't keep their shirts on!

I like the lyrics in this song. It's also one of the few songs they sing that doesn't really have that funky beat in the background that they're known for. It's more of a traditional song that I enjoy listening to a great deal.

I think Under the Bridge has got to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers best known song ever. And it's no wonder! It's an excellent song that Anthony manages to sing with feeling. I also think a lot of people can relate to this song. I mean, how many people haven't felt alone or humiliated at some point in their lives?

When I heard this song, I was in awe. It's such a well put together song. Awesome lyrics, nice melody and very, very catchy. I think this song is a great example of why the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been so successful.

From the album that really catapulted the Red Hot Chili peppers into the spotlight, the title song is my fourth favorite Chili Pepper song. I think the beat is the best part of this song. I love the drum and guitar melodies, and how they work so well together. Plus, the lyrics are weird, wish is typical RHCP. The way the songs starts of so slowly and then go crazy for a bit is awesome.

Higher Ground is a remake of the Stevie Wonder song. In my personal opinion, RHCP do a better job of it. It's also their most high energy song in my opinion. Remember Arsenio Hall? If you do, you might like this next clip, which features RHCP's on the Arsenio Hall show. You get to hear a few lame jokes before you get to hear Higher Ground. I freaking love this song. The base line is simply amazing and this song is just pure energy.

It was a toss-up between this song and my number one pick. They're both excellent songs that I love to sing along to. This song gets the number two spot by just a hair.

I love the twangy sound of the guitar in this song. I also love how the tempo of the song is constantly changing. The lyrics are very cool, and for some reason they remind me of my wife. I first heard this song while driving around, and loved it immediately. Oh, and how awesome is the guitar solo? Yep, this song has it all, which is why it's my favorite Red Hot Chili Pepper song of all time.
