Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
For some, the sentiments of listening to 'the chilis' is lost immediately when Kiedis begins to rap over some mediocre funk-pop-rock background (with the odd unimpressive solo that proves their musicianship every now and then) and kerrazzzzy attitudes: NAKED?! WITH SOCKS?! OH, YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

For others though, they're amazing and are the missing ingredients to their lives - a middle class white man rapping. YES! A middle-age, middle-class white man rapping! It's unbeatable! And Flea! Yes 'FLEA'! You are my excitement. You are the first time I masturbated. You are my inner child, playing slap bass, doing INSANE dancing and talking a bit like Michael Stipe (but with a lisp).

Oh! How this band make me! Behold: A guitar solo at the end! Behold: More lyrics about California, Minnesota, and other American states. Behold: pretentious musicianship from pretentious musicians who believe they are more than human beings - they are 'the universe'. They are Jupiter and Mars combined!

Your money?! They care not for your money! Behold: a double-album!

Death or retirement? YOU decide.
