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".
