Their "Home" album was pretty good. Can't say I've heard much of the most recent album. Might have to check it out.

Pretty good example of how saying something doesn't make it true.

Someone please tell me RHCP didn't win any awards...

RHCP won like four.
Which I think is probably the bigger "travesty." |

Good grief, they've not produced anything beyond mediocre since Californication, and half of that was dross.

Their new album is pretty bland, too.
It's funny. I was pointing this out to a friend of mine, and he was like, "I didn't know they were still making albums." And he's the one who listens to the radion. |

Personally I like One Hot Minute best, its completely indulgent and slightly pretentious but I just enjoy it so much more than anything else they've done. Although the first half of Californication is thoroughly entertaining. Nothing since has interested me

I don't think I could tell most of their songs apart. I like some of their older stuff when it comes on the radio play they get, but their new album makes me want to barf.

Problem I've found is that funk has a pretty short shelf-life in career terms, especially when you have a singer like Kiedis whose range is pretty limited. The fact that they can only do funk-rock and bland-rock is the main problem however, no variation. The only time they really experimented was on OHM, I think probably because Dave Navarro was on gits at the time.

So really, who was ripping off who? (The answer is probably no-one. Just a musing I had when you mentioned Funk). Dani California makes me want to kill something, by the way. And are they using the same progression as Papa Roach's "Last Resort?" |

I'd hum along with the song to see if it was true, but my throat's fucked up (Acid reflux).
