All of these people in this question are clueless.
RHCP is one of the best bands of all-time. They are highly underrated, as they never really achieved HUGE commercial success until the release of their ninth album, which is a testament of their greatness.
They have been around for over 20 years, since 1983, I believe. Their albums are varied in style and concept. Compare Uplift Mofo Party plan to By The Way. While the band has grown amongst themselves, they have also influeneced tons of bands that play/have played music today. This includes, but is not limited to Rage Against the Machine, Primus, and every ska band today. They all took elements that the Red Hot Chili Peppers had used earlier.
Few rock groups of the '80s broke down as many musical barriers and were as original as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. After creating an intoxicating new musical style by combining funk and punk rock together, 20 years later, they are still at the top.
Check them out live, you will be blown away. Flea is one of rock's greatest bassists, and John Frusicante's guitar work is very unique and exciting. Anthony Kiedis isn't much of a lyricist, but he makes good music and is entertaining, which is all that matters.
P.S. Anyone that says Dani California is the Red Hot Chili Peppers' best song, obviously knows nothing about the band.

Love 'em. They are coming to Edmonton! Sold out. Too bad my bf didn't like them, he'd get us tickets. But he should get tickets anyway because I like them, right? Shathead.
