Red Mosquito

I Summerteeth so much. My favorite Wilco album.

The Being There through Ghost Is Born stretch is really really good guys.

Not a huge fan of Sky Blue Sky or Wilco the album, but I did like The Whole Love, and Star Wars has it's moments, though, I'm still dissecting it (only two listens so far, and the last one way over a month or two ago).

The RHCP are good.

Stadium Arcadium is their best

RHCP are the biggest selling act for which I've never met an actual fan.

yeah me too now that i think about it. do they have hardcore fans like other bands do? i feel like 100% of their fans are completely casual.

Everybody in my high school fucking LOVED RHCP.

yeah, they have a pretty young fan base. I remember when Blood sugar...came out. It was huge. By the time Californication came, they had to gain that fan base again.

Great call. So true.

I think this band is brought up about once a year on RM, but I definitely like what RHCP puts down. for the most part.

I do not care for Star Wars, though.

Sky Blue Sky is such a beautiful album, with the exception of "Please Be Patient With Me," which just grates on me.

Shake It Off kind of sucks too

I always write off bands that have been around 20 years after hearing one song

The chorus and riff are a little grating to me and that doesn't really fit with what is a very smooth sounding album.

(Reference Wilco album track Shake It Off)

I agree with this.

Stadium Arcadium would be a great single disc album.

I think it's a pretty good double-disc album, though.

By the Way is actually great.

It's fantastic. I have a hunch that Frusciante realized this was the height of his pop genius. He did one more record out of aspiration/obligation, realized he'd never top By The Way in terms of pure pop bliss, then went off to make about a hundred experimental records.
