I got a bad disease number 10 soul to
squeeze from my brain is we roughly
though some fans first heard this alt
rock number as a b-side to to blood
sugar sex Magik singles soul to squeeze
only really made a splash after it

alternative rock sound by the way soon
became the band’s sixth number one on
the modern Rock Tracks chart and top the
mainstream Rock Tracks chart as well
thanks to its energy and awesome bass
line the single is also a live staple
number eight around the world
using a bluesy bass riff and shifting
guitar line this californication single
immediately grabs you in and holds you
tight we can add some funk rap and
alternative rock combined with a sweet
chorus and you’ve got a top 20 rock
charts kids but it’s Anthony Kiedis is
lyrical description of his global
travels that really seals the deal and
makes us believe that life is beautiful
around the world
number seven
Danny California instead of Mississippi
pop around the mama was a hippie
borrowing from his love life for
inspiration kita spends this tale about
a girl named Danny California and mixed
in different elements from the women
he’s dated
though Danny has appeared in previous
peppers tracks it’s in this single from
stadium Arcadian that she was given the
most biographical treatment she’s a
little baby and a fighter should have
seen it all when I got a little tied up
with the name locked in the California
day was gonna come when I was
with its groovy vibe and Jimi Hendrix
inspired solo
the track also earned the band another
top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and two
Grammys
number six
can’t stop though it does feature raft
versus similar to their older material
can’t stop still incorporates elements
of the layered sound the bank cultivated
later in their career the result is a
single that contains influenced guitar
parts funky bass lines and a lively
melody
in addition to topping the modern Rock
Tracks chart the by the way toon is also
often included in the peppers live set
me to dislike them all but just to be
number five other side hello
beginning with a soft and almost
melancholy riff other side is a moody
and dark offering from californication
appropriately so considering its subject
matter don’t you know even never go back
I gotta take
tackling addiction and the killer toll
it can take on people the four-minute
single is sung from the point of view of
former peppers member Talal Slovak who
died of a drug overdose in 1988
another live staple the alternative
rocker hit the hot 100 top 20
and top the modern Rock Tracks chart
number four give it away
since it was their first chart-topper
ever hitting the top spot of the Modern
Rock Tracks chart in 1991 give it away
is considered the Red Hot Chili Peppers
breakthrough single
as the lead single from blood sugar sex
Magik this funky rap and alternative
rock number helped the band earn
worldwide recognition and even nabbed
the 9th spot on the UK chart
with an overall theme touching upon
altruism and Kita’s is unique vocal
style that just makes the chorus stick
in your head it’s not surprising it’s
one of the Bands most performed songs
number three scar tissue scar tissue
data wish you saw sot captain myth no it
following the darker commercially
disappointing one hot minute the peppers
found themselves back on top of the rock
charts with Californication and this was
thanks in no small part to that album’s
first single
with you
with its smooth riff slide guitar solos
and carefree beat scar tissue made
history when it topped the hot modern
Rock Tracks chart for 16 straight weeks
wish you so
sot kevin owens in addition to becoming
a Hot 100 top-ten smash the alt rock
tune also won the band a Grammy
you
like spies from China try to steal your
mom’s elation little girl from Sweden
dream of number two Californication and
if you are these kind of Dreams it’s
this song maybe about the Golden State
but instead of praising California it
actually speaks of the negative side of
Hollywood and the entertainment biz
as such the title cut from the band’s
seventh effort is a haunting alt-rock
number filled with pop-culture
references
driven by a simple but memorable guitar
and bass riff Californication was
another rock chart-topper that’s found
an almost permanent place at the peppers
concerts
before we unveil our number-one hit here
are a few honorable mentions
me
number one under the bridge sometimes
I’ll be like I don’t have a partner give
it away may have been their breakthrough
but this blood sugar sex Magik follow-up
is what truly brought the Red Hot Chili
Peppers sound to the masses
along with ketoses emotional vocals and
lyrics that reflect universal themes
like loneliness under the bridge
achieved crossover success earned much
radio airplay and peaked at number two
on the Hot 100
tipitina plants are
take me away but it’s the fact that it
could take us to the place we love and
still does so today that the tracks
become such a formative part of
alternative rock
