Red Hot Chili Peppers
Their last three blow me away. I know some will say they were better before Californication, but thats just your opinion. Mine is the previous albums were good, but they are on a higher level now. Some will say its pop, and I agree that its pop like The Beatles and Rolling Stones are pop. Its pretty much the best pop I've heard.

Californication was great.
By The Way was alright.
Stadium Arcadium was garbage.
my thoughts exactly.
its become so predictable to dislike this band.....
theres some superb guitar work from John on SA......
stadium arcadium however has some hit or miss songs, but i guess that's what happens when you release a double album

i just need to say
I love 'em
Three crooked hearts, swirls all around
You can't spell Gossard without G-O-D
By The Way on the other hand is varied and incredibly solid from start to finish, pretty much the perfect pop album, IMO.

"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?" -Lisa Simpson
I completely agree.....
Unfortunately there is some blatant music snobbery by certain fractions which seems to cloud people's judgement of their work.....
which is a very big shame, because as a guitarist and bassist myself Stadium Arcadium is an orgy to my ears.....
Sorry but I find that kind of offensive, is it impossible for you to comprehend that some people just have higher standards than you? It's nothing to do with whether it's 'cool' or not to like them. Double albums are incredibly difficult to pull off, many bands have tried it and failed, and releasing 28 songs is a very risky thing to do.
I saw them at a festival last year and they put on a really lazy and boring show.
And John Frusciante is the SHIT! Many don't realize that he IS RHCP. They would be nowhere without him.
If there was a weakest link (and I think there is) it's Anthony Keidis. But I could listen to John, Flea, and Chad jam all day.
Which songs from SA would you omit? I couldn't reduce it into a single disc. And his voice only gets better to me. I do realize how much Frusciante is RHCP, well he's not all of it, but he's at least 60% of the reason why these last 3 albums have been so good. I don't come accross people that don't appreciate RHCP, except here.
Sums up Oasis in two small sentances, well done.:p
I'd pay to see Oasis a million times over, but you couldn't pay me to watch another RHCP concert. They are the most god-awful live band i have ever seen, and that's a list of 300+
lol sorry dude but I cant take that from an Oasis fan.....Liam Gallagher is easily one of the worst vocalists ever
Ill always maintain Oasis would be good if they ditched Liam....
hehehehe!
I agree

If you truly believe that they have put out three of the ten best albums of the last ten years, I would be forced to believe you don't listen to much music.
I listen to music all the time. Sirus radio and my own stuff plus my fiance's and her brother's quite often. I try new stuff out, what I'm exposed to. I'd say many of my favorites are pretty accepted here: PJ, SG, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, ect. I just keep coming back to the last three RHCP albums. I really don't understand people's opinion of them here. At work, with the family, with the party crowd RHCP are accepted by all. The only place they don't seem to be accepted is here. Strip my Mind, Storm in a Tea Cup, so many others are just great songs. By the Way, I was and still am in love with. To me, its just pop music perfected.
BTW, I said 3 of the best albums of the last ten years not 3 of the best ten albums.
By The Way and Stadium Arcadium just don't do anything for me. they're not terrible, i don't cringe or anything when i hear them...but i can think of many better albums in the last ten years than those two.
as far as best output over the last ten years:
Pearl jam has them licked. yield, avocado, and binaural would make a better three albums.
Tom Waits has them crushed with Mule Variations, Blood Money and Real Gone.
Mark Lanegan even if you don't count the Soulsavers project or either album with Isobel Campbell (all three of which are better than californication/by the way/stadium arcadium) he's still got Here Comes That Weird Chill and I'll Take Care of You. If you don't count Weird Chill because it's an EP or I'll Take Care of You (covers)...he's still Field Songs, Bubblegum and Saturnalia. If you don't count Saturnalia because it's also a collaboration, Scraps at Midnight is at least better than By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. that's 9 albums in the last ten years, 7 of which are better than the Chili's best album since '98. (i'd say Californication is better than Scraps at Midnight and I'll Take Care of You...)
Matthew Good: White Light Rock and Roll Review, Beautiful Midnight, Avalanche, Underdogs, Last of the Ghetto Astronauts....
Beck: Sea Change, Mutations, Midnight Vultures, Guero...
Twilight Singers: Blackberry Belle, Powder Burns, Twilight As Played by the Twilight Singers...there's also She Loves You, Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair, and A Stitch In Time depending on whether or not we're counting EPs or covers.
The Black Keys: The Big Come Up, Rubber Factory, Magic Potion...(this one is debatable)
Ryan Adams: Easy Tiger, Rock n Roll, Cold, Heartbreaker, Love Is Hell...
Foo Fighters are pretty close too. think The Colour and The Shape was eleven years ago, but if you count that with One by One and There Is Nothing Left To lose, they beat the Chili peppers.
John Butler Trio: Three, Sunrise Over Sea and Grand National...(also very debatable.)
but anyways, it's all just a matter of opinion. Radiohead probably has three better albums in the last ten years, can't remember what years there stuff came out since i was kind of late getting into them. Tom Petty would be a debatable one, as would Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. To throw even more fuel on the Oasis fire...I'd say they could measure up to those three RHCP even with their two best albums being more than ten years old.
all a matter of opinion, but i figured i would throw out what i thought were better albums instead of just saying BTW and SA were kind of boring and inconsistent. guess it also kind of depends on how big a group "the best" is. if it's like 150, i could see Californication, BTW and SA making my list pretty comfortably.
By The Way-Great album with great songs
Stadium Arcadium-Is there 2nd best album, what a great cd. John's guitar playing on that cd i feel is his best yet. There getting better with age. Anyone who thinks Kedis is the weakest link, is on glue. He gives what makes them different. Weird lryics, funky singing, pop singing.
RCHP kick ass. There better now then they have ever been. Once John came back in 99 they stepped up there game.
by the way - started out great, but really didn't have a full album's worth of material
stadium arcadium - could've turned this album into a single disc and made it an unbelievable album, not sure what prompted them into making it a double disc
--BOB MARLEY
Wait until you see Anthony Kiedis put no effort into a performance. I think your opinion would change a little bit after that. One of the times I saw him sing Scar Tissue was one of the most painful things I've seen in a concert. He had no energy in the show up until that point and he was off key the entire song. It was like watching a bad karaoke version of the song.
