I watched a concert earlier this year that they were doing and when they were introduced they were called Funk/Pop pioneers. I think that's a good description of them, but I think they are much deeper than that too. For a band to make the kind of music that just makes you feel good when you listen to them, to me, makes them a band that can't be simply classified like that. First you have Anthony Kiedis, originally when they first started out he rapped for the most part, but since Californication and a few tracks here and there on older albums, he has developed a more melodic and soothing voice when he sings. John Frusciante, in my opinion, is one of the best guitarists around right now, his range and intricate style of playing is a staple of the Chili Peppers uniqueness, not to mention his vocals sync perfectly with Kiedis. I've listened to his solo work and his albums contain a deep level of richness. Chad Smith is an excellent drummer, even when they're just jamming on stage, his drums and his ability mesh really well with Flea and John and finally there is Flea. He is, in my opinion again, one of the best bass players around right now. I know a lot of people probably don't think so because they think there favorite band has it all, I know because I used to be one of those people, but for the depth and technique of his playing it's hard to argue that there is much better out there, while his slap style of playing isn't anything new, he in as integral part of the whole of the Chili Peppers. While it can be argued that there are greater bands out there, it's impossible to argue that these guys aren't one of the best bands of all time. When I listen to them I feel like I'm being wrapped with a certain warmness that makes me feel good.

RHCP,one of my fave bands ^^
I like Flea slap-pop bass playing style,because right now it's kinda rare to see a band with a lot of slap-pop bass playing in the part of the music.John also awesome,he play guitar well in "Snow(Hey Oh)" song

I like Dani California and Snow(Hey Oh)
Stadium Arcadium cool album!)

I didn't like Stadium Arcadium as much as their other stuff, but it was still good.

I love their music, it's so funky. Can't Stop is one of my personal favorite songs.

I really like the bass player also, I remember listening to Get On Top and I'd just wait for the bass to come in play.

It one of my favorite band. And they new album Stadium Arcadium is so cool and since Dani California play in the death note preview it make it so better

I really love Californication and Dani California but I can't listen to the whole album non stop. I only find a few pearls in every release and keep them.
