I'm not big on their first album (I know it's my avatar, but that's mostly just for the album art). It's raw, but not as catchy and well-produced as Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo. Plus, it's sorely missing their heart and soul on the guitar.

My RHCP Album rankings:

1. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - love every song

---

2. Freakey Styley - funktastic
3. Mother's Milk - better production and this album might be higher
4. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan - a smoother sounding version of the self-titled

---

5. One Hot Minute - all about Flea
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers - raw, lacks some of the catchy-ness of the next couple albums
7. Californication - has some classic tracks like 'Around the World' and 'Get on Top', but also demonstrates what is to follow

---

8. Stadium Arcadium - yuck! (I like maybe five songs)
9. By The Way - double yuck! (I like maybe three songs)

Definitely talked about less than it should be. I think navarro was a great fit with the band. Im not a big fan of any of his other stuff, but him on this album is better than any Slovac work imo.

Great question! My favorite song in Under the Bridge. Its what turned me on to them @ a young age and ever since that song I have strongly identified with their music. If you haven't gotten a chance to listen to their lesser known stuff I would recommend the SNOW EP, which is a kind of B-side, to the Stadium Arcadium Album.

The song that hooked me when I was younger was 'Can't Stop'. Then I bought the Greatest Hits CD and couldn't get enough of songs like 'Suck My Kiss' and 'Higher Ground' and dug deeper...

Ah see I love Jane's Addiction but don't really care for Navarro on that record. I mean I could have been playing guitar on those songs and they would have sounded good because of Flea. 'Aeroplane' is a ****ing wicked song.

How dare you compare him to Hillel!

BSSM is by far their best, because it's near perfect. Hillel back in 84 with his other band "What is This?", same year as the Peppers debut. The guy was a nut, and I mean that with all due respect.

I must admit that BSSM is av pretty flawless albums, nd they happened to come up with it at just the right time, when the mainstream was cracking wide open and accepting all sorts of interesting bands / music....

To me BSSM is just a more polished/refined version of their earlier work. Kiedis is more subdued, Frusciante's play is clean and crisp, and Flea/Smith throw down some crazy awesome rhythms. But a song like 'Fight Like a Brave' would have been a huge hit if it had been recorded during BSSM.

Plus you gotta throw in one of the greatest ballads of all-time, 'Under the Bridge', and a couple of other slow songs...
