5 Favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs

Not one of my favorite bands (especially the early stuff), but still a few greats in their extensive catalog. John Frusciante is on my guitarist Mount Rushmore.

Scar Tissue - Great lyrics and Frusciante's greatest song. Love the slide guitar.

Under the Bridge - A poetic song about drug abuse with, again, brilliant melodies from Frusciante. Visceral high school memories associated with this one.

Californication - Mystic melodies and great lyrics capture its subject.

My Friends - Moody song with great instrumentals. My only non-Frusciante guitarwork (Dave Navarro).

Other Side - Kiedis' voice is great on this classic modern rock song.
