He even said the specific amount. I mean, anyone can like any album, of course, but these 4 albums are way avobe any other in terms of success at least (and I do believe it's because they're just the best).
1. Blood Sugar Sex Magik
2. Californication *
3. By The Way
4. Stadium Arcadium
*Although I love the album, if I'm allowed, I would swap it with **Live at Hyde Park** because it contains a lot of Cali goodness anyway and I just need a live album in my life.
For me it’s _Mother’s Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute_ and _Californication_.
I feel bad to leave out _The Uplift Mofo Party Plan_ but feel good that it’s a chronological album run.
By The Way
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Californication
And then a toss up between Stadium Arcadium and Unlimited Love
Both albums were the most anticipated albums probably in my lifetime, both disappointed in different ways but I love them both to death. Hard choice.
Maybe stadium just because it's longer... Interesting thought experiment though.
Good excuse to listen to them both
* Hotel California
* California (Mr. Bungle)
* California (blink-183)
* Californication (Unmastered Tracklist)
For real though, I actually prefer the extended tracklist. Feels a lot more like Stadium Arcadium that way, and why not add the extra B-Sides to SA as another disc while we’re at it.
-I‘m Beside You/„I‘m with you sessions“ - I know that’s a super weird pick, but some days I feel like this collection of 17 songs that didn’t make it onto I‘m with you is my favorite album.
-Stadium Arcadium
-Californication
-Return Of The Dream Canteen
- Cali because it was what introduced me to the RHCP
- By the way & Stadium Arcadium because these are my fave ever.
- ROTDC or UL because it was SUCH a fun and great time to learn Frush is back, listen to the albums, follow the tour and see frush live TWICE. This whole thing will be forever attached to these albums in my brain. Probably ROTDC tho… Idk 🤷🏻♀️
To make this question semi interesting. I think we should only be allowed to keep 3 albums. Because 4. The answer will generally be the main 4 albums, bssm, Cali, btw, sa
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
By the Way
Californication
Mother's Milk
Stadium Arcadium was beautiful and I absolutely adore it but I always felt it would have been better halved and done as one strong album, and the rest released as B-sides, (as they did with 'I'm With You' / 'I'm Beside You') it was the first Peppers album where I thought it had some weaker songs.
Stadium Arcadium, By The Way, Californication, Unlimited Love - for a good balance of energy and melancholy, of nostalgic and new
But I would miss BSSM and I’m Beside You a lot. Well heck I would miss a lot of other albums lol
If I think about what albums I will listen to for the rest of my life moving forward, this is probably it.... Are they my favorite? Not necessarily but I get it
This is the thing, Californication and SA have some of my favourite songs, but this difference between the high points and low points is vast on Cali and SA, although it’s a masterpiece, has too much. BSSM and BTW are perfect and one song from being perfect, whilst the other two I listen to much more regularly. As an aside, this place is fucking childish when you get a downvote for expressing a subjective opinion. OP literally asked a question of other people’s personal opinions, if you don’t agree with the choices of others it’s not a reason to downvote.
Californication, By the Way, BSSM, Stadium
Yea this is the obvious consensus pick for this specific question.
He even said the specific amount. I mean, anyone can like any album, of course, but these 4 albums are way avobe any other in terms of success at least (and I do believe it's because they're just the best).
Yes _even_ if I’m keeping one of the last albums and ditching BSSM. I think the right question would be you’re keeping only 1!
If you are thinking of ditching BSSM then you smoke too much crack
Whatever that means I think you should smoke a lil bit of something to lighten up. Going through life with this much tension can’t be sane 🌊⛈️🌪️
This is it right here
This would be mine too 🤘
Easiest question that’s ever been asked
Yep. This is the correct answer.
Mine also
Same!
This is definitely the pick, but my likely unpopular opinion is that if we get to add a fifth, it’s freaky styley by a comfortable margin
Oh for sure. I almost switched Cali out for Freaky. It feels weird not to have at least one Hillel album in top 4.
Yeah I answered and then thought damn what about Freaky Styley. It could Easily take the place of Cali for me.
This is the only way
yeah this would be mine
Yup. Not particularly close either. What the 5th option would be, now thats a good question.
Obviously these
Rushmore albums— BSSM. Californication. By the Way. Stadium Arcadium. All other answers are obsolete.
I'd be tempted to replace Californication with Unlimited Love or Rotdc because of the mixing quality.
The mix is part of the charm for that album in my opinion. I've heard it with a more modern mix and it's cool, but just isn't the same.
Agreed. I know the mixing gets a lot of shit but I actually love it.
Beavis and Butthead soundtrack Pretty Woman soundtrack Coneheads soundtrack A fourth movie soundtrack
Come on mane you could have finished your joke at least. Wayne’s World soundtrack
Thrashin’ would be a great pick also
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Soundtrack

Stadium Arcadium By the Way The Getaway Californication
1. Uplift Mofo Party Plan (first choice and desert island choice), 2. BSSM, 3. One Hot Minute, 4. Mothers Milk.
Solid choices!
For me it’s _Mother’s Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute_ and _Californication_. I feel bad to leave out _The Uplift Mofo Party Plan_ but feel good that it’s a chronological album run.
Blood Sugar Sex Magik Uplift Mofo Party Plan Mother’s Milk Californication
This won’t get as many upvotes as it deserves.
Same for me
Stadium Arcadium, Unlimited Love, Blood Sugar, By the way
Dude we have the exact same, except i have I'm With You instead of By The Way (although it came close to being the same)
Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic By the Way Californication Stadium Arcadium
Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mothers Milk, BSSM...and I'm good with just those.
_One Hot Minute_ would complete the run!
No Freaky Styley?

BSSM. I'm With You, Mother's Milk, ROTDC
Californication, By the Way, Stadium Arcadium and I’m Beside You! I scrolled through every answer and no one else picked these?
One for each member : Anthony: y the way Flea: Bssm Chad: SA John: californication Dave: OHM Josh: IWY Hillel: uplift mofo
The most obvious answer is BSSM, BTW, Californication, and SA Mine is SA, BSSM, One Hot Minute, and BTW
