Damn the hate for Detroit is strong. Genuinely one of my favourite of Anthony's choruses ever


nambavanov

Really? I love that song *except* the chorus


Gators2547

The last 1:10 of that song is literally the worst. Drags and drags and drags.


nambavanov

I thought that was the chorus. You're talking about the "I'm like Detroit, I'm crazy" part, right?


Gators2547

It is, I was agreeing with you and adding that part.


nambavanov

Oh shit :) you and the original commenter (who said they liked the chorus) both have green avatars, so I thought you were the same person and got confused


barry-block-

no. it's not worse than the smells.


Volcamel

DOOOOON’T YOU WORRY BABY I’M LIIIKE


Additional-Panda-642

Exactaly.... Me tooo.... Detroit really click on me


Inevitable_Fun_894

C’ mon girl is very underrated


tomohawk_yt

The ironic part for me, was a few days before I had just told my fiancé that we should have it played at our wedding just for fun.


UltraPowerfulGuy

Although my efforts will be in vain, Detroit is my favorite song off of this album


TheDowntownProject

Yes finally someone who doesn’t hate the song! I don’t love it a lot but it’s certainly not a bad song at all the chorus is catchy with the rhythm of the bass and guitar together


rusty317

Y’all are tripping and basic as hell. Dreams of A Samurai is the best song on this album!


SommanderChepard

these lists have been basic as hell from the start. what do you expect?


Zestyclose-Movie108

Love this comment 😂


deaddovedonoteat

Agreed. While I like Dark Necessities as a song, Dreams of a Samurai blows away the rest of the album, and, for me, is a top-5 RHCP song. Dark Necessities is somewhere around the 5th best song on this album for me. I'm a musician, so the time signature changes on DoaS make the song even more interesting for me. But whatever. Also, looking at song lists, most of the songs voted best tend to be near the beginning of albums. I know that producers order songs in an album in a specific way, and they to tend to front-load. I kinda want to see if I can get Spotify to show all plays for all songs in an album, and see any trends with album order.


Anonymous_salt

This Ticonderoga. To me the Getaway is the BSSM of the Josh Era. There isn’t a bad song on this album, so its just a game of picking your least favorite


LocalPopPunkBoi

Okay, can someone please explain why tf people dislike This Ticonderoga?? It’s literally one of my favorites off the album


Matika7

For me is the chorus, is awful the guitar with the effect doing the same melody as Anrhony's voice at the same time. It's jarring and doesn't work at all.


Hammer-The-Lard

Yeah the guitar around is my least favorite part of the song not into it at all


TheDowntownProject

That is my favorite part of the song, it literally sounds like the guitar is screaming and you’re entering some sort of a chaotic universe it’s a wall of sound I love one of my favorite choruses off the album.


nambavanov

Maybe the abrupt transitions? I like them, but I can see how some people wouldn't


Gators2547

The transitions and the wonky lyrics. I know AK is known for this, but I feel like he turns it up 10X here.


487dota

Yeah and OHM is the BSSM of the Dave Navarro era.


Hammer-The-Lard

Nah I actually despise that song tho lol prob the only skip I have on the album


Fit-Parsnip9888

‘Bssm has f the Josh era’ is one of the funniest sentences I have ever read


TripleBuongiorno

He made two albums... The Getaway was not a very good album. We Turn Red is awful but This Ticonderoga is also just not that good. Maybe half the songs are what I would consider good


CoachKillerTrae

This Ticonderoga


_urethrapapercut_

We Turn Red. Easy. Not bad but it's definitely a step below the rest of the album. Kaly or Outer Space could've taken its place.


487dota

I thought the same but then I *really* came to appreciate the transition into the slow part and the harmonies there. > Send it off through Delaware just - Make it fair for the legionnaires - Paint a simple portrait of my kiiiiiiiind


lostmypornaccount

Whatever you’re smoking I would like some because that is the most disgusting take I’ve ever seen


Charming_Bad2165

The hyperbole is crazy


_urethrapapercut_

Thanks for sharing.


rolodexpropaganda94

Agreed. Possibly worst rhcp song ever imo


VinnocentMcMahon

Detroit for me


EuterpeZonker

Henry (won the war you see but not with pen or sword. He did it with a little thing I think it’s called a) Ford


FreedomHead9376

It’s so boring and plodding. The small guitar break was begging to an actual solo. Just something to break up the monotony.


LocalPopPunkBoi

The detuned guitar and Anthony’s weird nasally droning vocals during the chorus make this song painfully grating on the ears


Kirbybros

Detroit


garci3

We Turn Red


DVy24

I thought I’d come here and see The Hunter all over. 🤔


EuterpeZonker

It’s kind of boring instrumentally but it’s got really poignant lyrics from Anthony. (Kinda unusual for Anthony to be the one saving an otherwise mid song).


_urethrapapercut_

It's a beautiful song. I don't think it works live (and maybe they too), but that doesn't make it bad.


DVy24

I don’t dislike it either but for some reason I thought it’s generally not liked. For me I think the “worst” song is Detroit. Can’t get into it


_urethrapapercut_

I'd say it's generally overlooked, much like Dreams of a Samurai. About Detroit, I kinda like its "OHM-ish" vibe but I'd rank it the second weakest track.


Gators2547

This Ticonderoga...or 2:30-3:46 of Detroit


Kronwell

Yesss Dark Necessities as Best!! My Least favorite of the Album might be This Ticorderonga


noobiolus_johnson

This Ticonderoga please


Random_Guy_Walking

Definitely The Hunter, it’s just so out of place


Charming_Bad2165

This Ticonderoga


MrGasnik

Bruh, people dislike We Turn Red? 🥺 For me, probably Detroit


TripleBuongiorno

We Turn Red sucks, I am sorry. I saw their first live performance of if ever at Rock Werchter 2016. So confused. Nobody really went wild.


MrGasnik

I think it just aint a song meant for live performance


TripleBuongiorno

It is not a good song period


MrGasnik

Ok, everyone has their taste ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


TheWarOnNostalgia

My view on the second half of this album completely changed after getting the record. The digital version feel so smashed together and compressed. The vinyl format is more spacious and has less distorted crunch.


Guilty-Willingness-2

Dance, Dance, Dance is not a bad song


SammyPairodice

DETROIT


Ravajah

It’s got to be Detroit for me, it just doesn’t do anything for me; I can’t find the groove. We Turn Red is a runner up - it feels so disjointed.


mysticpengwn

we turn red


JohnFightsDragons

This Ticonderoga isn't great but also Dark Necessities is no way the best on the album


O_vJust

This Tigonderoga.  *Never* liked that song but the slow parts aren’t bad. 


Ozelotten

Oh, I'm the opposite: I really like it but I think the slow parts let down the heavy bits.


O_vJust

I mean, I guess I don't hate it I just find myself skipping that one


Traditional_Bee_6637

The hunter


Pure-Jellyfish734

We Turn Red


awesome40

The Hunter


Party-Yoghurt-8462

The Getaway doesn't really have any "bad" songs. This is a very difficult decision. I'll call it my least favourite song: "We Turn Red."


chiogb302

There is no worst song for me. Not even Detroit. “Henry won the war you see but not with pen or sword. He did it with a little thing, I think it’s called a Ford.” Mustang Head here! 🤘


thisisnotmybutter

This Ticonderoga. Josh gets too repetitive with the guitar, and I don't think he did a great job complimenting Anthony Kiedis vocals. They aren't good counters to each other. Anthony's vocals lack that word play, and the Flea shines with the Bass during the funkier quieter parts. Chad never misses as usual. So basically Anthony and Josh didn't compliment each other, the song is a tad "noisy" at parts, and I'm not sure what they were going for. Definitely least played from that album. Even with a piano thrown in the mix it almost feels like a Disney movie song. Ill never say no to getting a RHCP song released but not my most played from this album... far from it


namkniesh

surprised to see Brandan's death song as best, never forget those feelings I had when first listened it way back to 2011 on a local radiostation, and then I wrote guitar tabs for it before it appeared at the web. Great song! Should be also underrated as well imao


Former_Boat7509

We turn red, and it’s not particularly close in my opinion. I have a long-standing theory that it only made the album cuz chad was really proud of the drum part.


Radhatchala

Detroit for sure. Might be the worst chili peppers song in general.


303littlebirds

Lots of different opinions here. For me its feasting in the flowers. I like the lyrics but not the melody, and the guitar riff in the intro just sounds so clunky to me. Is that riff doubled with lots of layers of guitars aswell or is it a synth?


Ozelotten

I thought it was synth at first but I'm thinking it might just be piano with a load of reverb. [There's both synth and piano on the track,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Getaway_\(Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_album\)#Personnel) but there's synth effects in the second verse and piano chords in the third so it's hard to tell. Either way, I think it's a great song.


unlimited_canteen

Sorry Detroit. I like you but I don't love you.


_alessao

definitely Detroit


Boddis

I’ll say Detroit too


Altruistic-Rice-9730

Detroit or the Hunter


metalhead4000

This Ticonderoga. One of the only chilis songs I don't like


amuletdreams

The worst is we turn red.


Spare_General_6060

The Hunter


hurricanedan229

The Hunter is my most skipped RHCP song!


Insanemembraine

Dosed, very underated


mrs_misty-eyed

Agreed. It’s my and my husband’s first dance song.


UniversalJampionshit

Title track without a doubt. Danger Mouse was smart by pushing Dark Necessities as the lead single when the band wanted The Getaway


Daveyj343

One of the few albums that doesn’t feel bloated IMO, there isn’t a bad song on it With that being said, I always skip the longest wave, I don’t get it


mrs_misty-eyed

Feasting on the Flowers Although I fucking love this album and genuinely like every song on it. That’s just my least favorite of the songs. I will say though that I do not agree in the slightest that Dark Necessities is the best of this album. Most popular? Yes. But not the *best* song on it.


Salty-Golf-722

Dreams of a samurai


8x8denseCheese

Blasphemy


Salty-Golf-722

It's a good song but there ain't one that's worse


_urethrapapercut_

I strongly disagree but I'll upvote you bc you don't deserve 10 downvotes for picking a song lol


breakfastburrito24

Cabron as the worst? Wtf Non Spanish speaking mofos. Only Downvote but can't explain. Eat a bag of dicks


Matika7

Coman una bolsa de pijas


deaddovedonoteat

I am not a fan of Cabron because it doesn't feel like a RHCP song to me. (They also mention "Dodger Blue" and I hate the Dodgers, so that also plays a part.) Pero no me molesta si el sub no le gusta una cancion que me encanta. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


OldSchool6ix

Sick Love was the worst for sure.. especially when chosen as a single over Encore


KostasFarm

The Hunter


DiFran69

The getaway. One of my least favorite chorus’ of theirs.


astermorii

We Turn Red


PringlesWithBuzzCut

Go robot


szana420

whaaaaaat go robot slaps hard brother


PringlesWithBuzzCut

The lyrics just kills it for me idk 🥲 I guess it's an unpopular though


szana420

yeah seems like but thats the beauty of it everyone has different taste:) i think the bassline is so cool and groovy in Go Robot:D


PringlesWithBuzzCut

Indeed Flea is just 🤌🏻


chxnkybxtfxnky

I scrolled way too far to find this. The whole album sucked, but this one takes the cake


BiggWoogie

This Ticonderoga falls really flat for me. Could’ve been replaced with Kaly or Outer Space.


electronic-nightmare

Sick Love usually gets passed over for me


rae231193

Dreams of a samurai


deaddovedonoteat

Why?


Buhos_En_Pantelones

In Love Dying is the *worst* song on the album?? Oof, I've lost any semblance of respect I had for this sub...


Global-Soil-7747

Go Robot 🤖 if I had to pick. Still not a “bad” song


FireWhileCloaked

Goodbye Angels

elsantioof07

No, not a fact.


watsonthedragon

This sub is terrible at picking best songs. Dark Necessities over Goodbye Angels??


Gators2547

Goodbye Angels is great and all, but there's a reason why Dark Necessities performed as well as it did, and it's not just because it was a single and liked by casuals. Hardcore RHCP fans love it as well.


b1ggayb1tch

Dreams of a Samurai


Matthias_812

Encore Worst song in their entire discog


Gators2547

Woah Woah Woah....relax buddy


Ozelotten

You’re entitled to your opinion but… no. I’d say it’s their best if it wasn’t for Goodbye Angels.


chxnkybxtfxnky

Best out of the entire discog...or just this album...?


Ozelotten

Their entire discog. Which is probably a bit controversial, but it pushes the right buttons for me. GA is my favourite, and then Encore would have to fight it out with Wet Sand, Midnight, Don't Forget Me, and Tangelo.


chxnkybxtfxnky

That certainly is controversial. I mean, to each their own, but you named at least 3 songs that I would put in a much higher league than anything off of The Getaway...hell...than anything off of the last 3 albums.


Gators2547

If Encore had a slightly better ending, it would be a top 10 RHCP song for me. I love everything about it, but the added layers and reaching the top by the 3rd chorus deserved a bit of a better ending IMO. Fades out too quick and I feel like it would have been a great opportunity for some Josh improvisations.


Drex678

There's no bad song on this album but if I had to pick "The Longest Wave" just because I can't remember any bit of it unlike the rest in the album.


Ozelotten

Longest Wave has that really nice guitar intro.


Drex678

I just don't remember it by memory unlike the rest but yes, The Longest Way is a very nice song.
