I think one of the best red hot Chilis songs ever is My Friends. I dont know why. Its just always been a personal favourite of mine. On that note, would I be right in thinking that they will be more remembered for their slow songs? Under the Bridge, Tear, Californication, My Friends all spring to mind. Not to take away from the fast songs. You cant beat Give it Away or Around the World.

Name a few of your favourite songs and why.

Behind The Sun - great bass work by Flea on this track, and vocals from Kiedis that showed a sign of things to come
Knock Me Down - very emotional song for them, definitely one of their all-time best
Taste The Pain - I love those two tracks back to back on Mothers Milk, you can really feel the pain they had gone through from the loss of Hillel and their own struggles with addiction
True Men Don't Kill Coyotes - where it all started, the song that got me into the band
Sir Psycho Sexy - love this old-school funk jam with new production
Californication - I don't even own the album, but this song gets stuck in my head quite often, the quintessential modern RHCP classic

I have many other favourites, but these ones stand out the most right now to me. They also do very good cover songs.

Everyone seems to forget Red Hot Minute, but I also like "My Friends" as one of RHCP's best. Other good ones are "Californication" and "Scar Tissue." But for a while, my enjoyment of RHCP waned until Stadium Arcadium came out and resolidified themselves as a band to watch. The album's great with many hits like "Snow (Hey Oh)," "Charlie," "Stadium Arcadium," "Strip My Mind," "Torture Me," "Slow Cheetah," and "Made You Feel Better." But Stadium Arcadium is still very fresh, so the songs from this album that stick with me the longest will determine which great songs become my new favorites.

RHCP is probably my favorite band, i love both their old and new stuff. Some definite favorites of mine are parallel universe, soul to squeeze, under the bridge, around the world, cant stop, fortune faded, and the songs made in reference to hillel's death

My favorite RHCP song is "This Velvet Glove" from Californication..."Savior" is cool too.

From By The Way, I like "Don't Forget Me" and "This is the Place".

Otherwise, "Breaking the Girl", "Higher Ground", and "Soul to Squeeze" are on the faves list.

I'm not a huge RHCP fan, but I do like a lot of their stuff. I'd recommend John Frusciante's solo albums to anyone who hasn't heard them...

i love power of equality, undr the bridge, can't stop, scar tissue, and give it away

Zephyr song - this got me into chillis
can't stop
scar tissue
parallel universe.

Still got many songs unheard, after looking at the comments, i'll be checking out those songs mentioned.
