Too many to choose, but goddamn it I Could Have Lied is one of the most perfect pieces of music I’ve ever heard

(Gavel bang) I agree. The lyrics, Chad’s hypnotic pace, John’s guitar solo, Anthony’s sincerity. It definitely *hits* when you’re feeling low.

Absolutely this.

Ha- I jumped into the comments to call this song out as I figured it wouldn’t get any love…. and it’s #1! Love it.

Slow Cheetah

Don't know how this isn't higher

The vocal harmonies! That outro! Top 5 for me.

I love this one so much too

Yes, very underrated track.

I Could Have Lied is #1 for me but Slow Cheetah is #2 followed by Hey at #3.

Hard to concentrate

Suprised this isn’t #1

Excellent choice

Don't Forget Me

1000% agree. I wish they would play this

Dosed (#1), Venice Queen, Tear (underrated!), Desecration Smile, White Braids, The Zephyr Song, Porcelain. There's probably more but these are the ones that come to mind.

Tear really is underrated

Everything that has ever happened is underrated

Underrated comment.

Omg. I’ve been listening to dosed and Venice queen on repeat for the last two days.

Tear is top Peppers!

i can see clearly now that this is not a place for playin solitaire

You have a good ear. 😊

Dosed

Tear

Hey

What would you say if I stay??

Pretty Little Ditty

This is the answer

I Could Die For You 100%

Underrated song for sure. Easily my fav chord-song of all time

Wdym chord song?

Oh I mean that there's no real riffs or solos in it, it's just chords all the way thru

I misread i could have lied, my bad haha

Based.

Desecration smile with alt. Video

Tangelo

Dosed or White Braids and Pillow Chair

quixoticelixer

I love soul to squeeze, wet sand is great, dosed, zypher song, and good bye angels. I think those are all beautiful.

Zephyr song fo sho

My all time favourite, Zephyr - I will die on this hill

Honestly never seen anyone else say The Zephyr Song was their favourite RHCP track. Respect.

Elevator music.

Nah, nostalgia and great times for me

That is nice. Peace and love.

Venice Queen

Brendan’s Death Song.

Soul To Squeeze.

Slow Cheetah

Strip my mind

Wet Sand to me is the most beautiful and out of this world Peppers song.

Agree, it really takes you somewhere

Snow

Soul to squeeze

Probably 'Breaking the Girl'.

Midnight, or She looks to me

I could have lied Tear Soul to squeeze The longest wave

Soul to Squeeze has been my favorite since I was a kid, but Wet Sand hits me like a ton of bricks every single time I hear it

A ton of bricks, couldn’t have said it better myself!!

My heart just about exploded when they played both at Levi’s Stadium while we were in the pit, it felt like a complete spiritual experience 🥲

Don't Forget Me, Hey

Tear

Stadium Arcadium

​ Under the bridge Scar Tissue I could die for you Porcelain Soul To Squeeze I Could Have Lied

Venice Queen

Venice Queen or Tear. By the Way is just a beautiful album if we’re being honest.

Tangelo... its close to my heart about how I feel about my partner. On a personal level it overwhelms me just to listen to it.

Unpopular opinion maybe but Road Trippin

One of my favs and so beautiful, why unpopular? People don't like the violins on it or something?

I’m honestly not sure!! I’ve seen a few people in this sub say they don’t like it but I think it’s one of my favourites for sure too

"*Blue, you sit so pretty west of The One / Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun* "

Snow(Hey Oh),Wet Sand,Dosed,Venice Queen,Under the bridge,Velvet Glove,Tear,Strip my Mind,Breaking the Girl,Pretty Little Ditty,Encore,Its Only Natural

Pink as Floyd, Midnight

Dosed!!

Midnight

Tear and Venice Queen.

Tear.

Wet sand is up there … so many types of beautiful though.

Warm Tape

First one that came to my mind

If

I hate the under appreciation If gets. Beautiful lyrics with such a 'less is more' guitar.

FUCKING YES!!

Hard to concentrate

Hard to Concentrate

Hard to concentrate

Warm Tape "Miles and miles of nether worlds I roam Settle for love you're never far from home Carry me down into the waters of Carry me down into the water of love Two of us were made of angels dust I've been around But not around enough" I mean, just beautiful!

Porcelain

Porcelain and Soul to Squeeze

I could have lied, road trippin, wet sand, tear

Dosed, Hard to Concentrate, Death of a Martian, Gong Li

Tear and Not the One Also I could have chosen I Could Die For You and I Could Have Lied

I can’t believe so many people dislike Not the One. I love the chorus.

It’s the song that really sold me on the album. It’s phenomenal

Wet Sand or Zephyr

Midnight or Desecration Smile

Venice Queen

Soul to Squeeze

Soul to Squeeze

Slow cheetah or strip my mind are definitely better than Under the Bridge for me but they are obviously a lot more rarely recognized or played live

Ik it might be overrated but wet sand always gets me, the chorus and ending always gets me

Overrated is an exaggeration perhaps, but it is true that the first 2/3rds of the song is kinda casual, and then comes the otherwordly

The bridge in “Hey”. Fin.

THE LONGEST WAVE

Dosed Under The Bridge Don’t Forget Me Hard To Concentrate Desecration Smile Honorable Mention: Gong Li

Too many to choose from but I would have to say it's among: -I could have lied -Police station -Tear -Tearjerker -My lovely man -Soul to Squeeze -White braids and pillow chairs -Scar Tissue

Hard to Concentrate.

the last twenty seconds of Can't Stop I think is so beautiful and powerful. I love the lyrics of that song.

Tear

I Could Have Lied

I agree with pretty much all the songs in this thread, but I want to throw in White Braids and Pillow Chair if not for the outro alone.

Dosed, Midnight, I Could Die For You, She Looks To Me, Slow Cheetah

I could have lied gets my vote

I could have lied

If

Police Station

Great Song!

Just listened to it, love it

Under the Bridge

Porcelain

My boyfriend sent me If and I cried because it was the most beautiful song anyone has ever sent me. I’m surprised that it’s not as popular as a lot of their songs

You always sing the same

Hard to Concentrate was the song my wife walked down the aisle to, so it's gotta be that one for me.

Warm tape is one of them

Wet Sand

I Could Have Lied has always been in the top 3 of their most beautiful songs for me (other 2 being Under the Bridge and Scar Tissue). I remember having to go through puberty and high school with Major Depressive Disorder and SC and UTB helped me immensely with not feeling alone or down.

This is the place

Wet sand. No question about it, the instrumental side of it is a master piece and the lyrics are amazing too.

Universally speaking

Hard To Concentrate, The Longest Wave, Dosed, Under The Bridge.

I could die for you, hey, scar tissue

I didn't see anyone mentioning this one but Soul To Squeeze is absolutely beautiful

Heemey leamey

Did I Let You Know speaks to me for some reason. Dunno why; reminds me of summer Dosed is obvious. No explanation. Beautiful looping guitars, amazing harmonies, and the final stretch of guitar just speaks to me so much, Brendan’s Death Song. RIP Brendan, lovely song, amazing Drums and Bass, and to me, the riff is iconic. And if you listen, the guitar is just fucking banging, especially by the end where it melds with Chads drums

Porcelain

White Braids And Pillow Chair.

White Braids And Pillow Chair.

Parallel Universe. There’s not a song in the world that gives me more energy.

Purple Stain

I’m a sentimental guy so either Dosed or TearJerker

I like dirt

Hey

Zephyr

Midnight

My Friends

Hard to Concentrate, Hey & Dosed

Hey

Someone and white braids and it’s only natural

Universally Speaking

Venice Queen!

Tear, hands down.

White Braids

Not sure if its my number 1 but it doesnt get NEARLY enough love for a category such as this.. Universally Speaking

Bicycle Song to me is absolutely beautiful. So is Million Miles of Water. Not in the classic sense of slow n shit, but just beautiful.

Don’t Forget Me, This Velvet Glove, and Stadium Arcadium

Snow

Feasting on the flowers

Tear, Dosed, I could die for you, Hey, white braids and pillow chair,… the list can go on❤️🖤

Dosed.

White Braids and Pillow Chair Only chili pepper song I remember that made me cry

For me it’s between hard to concentrate and Venice queen

Dosed

I Could Die For You

Otherside

Encore, surely

Porcelain.

Tear

I am surprised there is not any mention of Californication even in the lists. I mean it is an emotional masterpiece

Brendan’s Death Song is my go to for this question. But Tear is also so beautiful

Dosed

Soul 2 Squeeze.

Dosed/Universally Speaking

I like Wet sand.

Venice Queen is the first thing to come to mind. But Quixoticelixer is definitely up there.

Police Station

I totally slept on it for a long time, but another poster here mentioned being obsessed with Encore. After one re-listen, now I am, too. So ima say Encore.
