Red Hot Chili Peppers

Single handily the best alternative rock band to come on the scene ever. This band combines the greatest elements rock, funk, punk, psychedelic, and jamming to create a sound that is solely their own. This is band that’s sound and lyrical content can't be matched or replicated by any band today. Their thirty years in the business has given us some of the best music of all time and a career equal to bands like The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. However my favorite element of this band is Anthony Kiedis and his ability to pour out his soul and the hardship he has gone through into every song he sings. I could go on and on about this band but after ten studio albums, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and busty bank account this band needs no help showing that they are extremely talented.

The early stages of the band might seem unfamiliar to people like me who started to listen to the Peppers' 90's and 2000's music. Their sound had a lot less rock and hard guitar riffs and more psychedelic sounds with a funky beat. I suggest that lovers of funk and weird psychedelic rock check their early stuff, especially their debut album.

The later stages of the RHCP are my personal favorites. This is when they fell into their iconic fast beat, hardcore songs. The later periods also seem to be the bands personal reflections on the past and the problems they are dealing with today. The band also had many spurts of deep meaning songs that people like me gravitated to. Overall the band had a shift from psychedelic and funk to a hard rock sound.

 

I give the Red Hot Chili Peppers 5 out 5 stars. This is an iconic band that continues to develop their sound and put out better music every time. You really can't ask for more than what the Red Hot Chili Peppers can produce, even for people my age their older stuff still connects to us the same as the newer songs. I suggest you take a listen to any of their albums and especially the song below.
