I think we might need an "Aeroplane" vs "Soul to Squeeze" poll.

Quite the unholy alliance with those two so good luck.
I think Aeroplane is fantastic but Soul to Squeeze has been the only RHCP track that has meant a damn to me for decades.

Soul to Squeeze is a nice song. I might just be burnt out on it.

Under the Bridge, for sure.

Aeroplane still sounding fresh as a daisy.

is it the best bass solo of all time? So fun. Tells a story. And then liftoff to the outro with kids.

It's got my vote. It's definitely the one I've listened to the most.

Anthony's little "pleasure spiked with pain" at the very start of the solo is the most perfect thing he's ever done.

If I may, I would also add "Don't Forget Me" and "Strip My Mind".

Soul To Squeeze is wonderful, but not sure if its their best song. But it belongs in the top 5 for sure.

Farmer John · Post by **Farmer John** » Sat July 01, 2023 5:39 pm

My Top 5:

Aeroplane
Breaking the Girl
Minor Thing
Easily
I Like Dirt

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Sat July 01, 2023 5:42 pm

i need to think about it more but...in no order

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Soul To Squeeze
Scar Tissue
Parallel Universe
These Are The Ways

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Sat July 01, 2023 5:44 pm

Probably Warped, Aeroplane and transcending need to have a place too

Ello Sailor · Post by **Ello Sailor** » Sat July 01, 2023 7:06 pm

There are some absolute wildcards on both of your lists. Such zany lil chili poppers you are.

Soul to Squeeze
Aeroplane

Purple Stain
Don't Forget Me

"She's a Lover" can get in the bin, but otherwise I love this list.
