This will definitely take me until next Friday to complete or at least Thursday. I've been listening to the Chili Peppers first three albums at work today. Amazing how different they sounded while very young. I love the eagerness to combine all of the sounds in the 80s, which they still haven't broken away from. I don't know if I'll include any of these rare songs into my list though. They have too many hits that I can't pass up.

It was hard for me to get 10 not too big on the Chili Peppers. I have mostly singles.

Literally every one of my top ten songs was a single. Not that RHCP doesn't have good non-singles or anything, but they've made some really good single choices over the years.

I have a feeling that my list will be all singles too. They've been around for so long, that it's hard not to includes mostly singles on there since it's what we've all heard thousands of times over the years. I think they're mostly a singles band anyway. I've never absolutely loved any of their albums overall, but still end up keeping them.
I'm listening to "Mother's Milk" now. Man... what a crazy album. I can see why "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" broke them out. All of their earlier stuff is all over the place.

Okay, I actually submitted one and was able to put ten on there. I guess there are more Chili Peppers songs that I like than I thought.

Still working on this. Be patient. don't worry about it, that's why I give so much time for everybody to get in their submissions. Only reason I'm always ready at the beginning of the time is because I know which artist was chosen 3-4 days in advance. I spend most of that period listening to the artist and finalizing my list. The reason I have the gap anyway is partially because I want there to be time for people to view and comment on the results from the recent vote, and partially so I have extra time between votes to listen to the band as well as not burn myself out from constantly updating the table. Without that gap it would be a lot harder for me to maintain this. Take all the time you need up to the deadline, you'll probably spent less time second-guessing your vote that way. ;) As for my list, I'm not exactly sure what all of the singles/non-singles were over their long career, but I'm pretty sure I have at least 9, maybe 10 singles on my list.

The fact that we only choose 10 songs is the hardest part. They have about 10 albumes. That's like choosing one song off each album. So far I'm barely looking at 5 potential #10 slot songs.

Just a quick bump to let everyone know there's just over a day left to submit your picks for RHCP tracks. Submissions close tomorrow night at midnight EST. American Idiot (would hate to see you listen all week and forget to submit)

Thanks for the heads up! I would never forget to do one of these lists :) I finished listening to every song today and have a list of 18 songs that I'll make sure to narrow down to 10 later tonight.

Yeah. I think this was the hardest one for me too. I don't really have any major favorite Chili Peppers songs. I like some more than others, but not by much. Even when picking my Top 10 songs, I had trouble ranking them.

Pulse Top 10s #5 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Results
Time to look at the results for our fifth artist vote! It was incredibly close until the very end. Californication, By The Way and Can't Stop all held the title at times as the week wore on, but Otherside emerged victorious thanks to the last few ballots and the overwhelming panel support (only 3 posters didn't have it in their Top 10) The top tracks were mainly filled with mid-late career Chili Peppers, which makes sense as that's when they had the most commercial success. Every album outside of 1985's Freaky Styley had at least some representation on the chart. The vote for our 6th artist was very close and the winner changed hands in the last three ballots. Look out for the next poll announcement in a few days, until then thanks for voting!

I think you'll be happy with our next artist anyway.

surprised Under the Bridge wasn't #1 given how radio stations all-time countdown usually has that as their top song. Tell Me Baby ranked surprisingly low for me, I'd thought it be in the same group of the Top 9 core concensus.
Oscar method: 1 otherside 3+2+1+2+2 2 Californication 2+2+0+3+2 3 Under the bridge 2+2+1+1 => Otherside x 2+ 0x2+ Californicationx2 4 Can't stop 3+0+0=> Otherside+Californication+Under the Bridge 4 Scar tissue 2+1+0 => Otherside+ Californication x2 6 Give it away 2+0 => Otherside + Under the Bridge 7 By the way 1 =>Scar Tissue 7 Dosed 1 =>0 7 Especially in Michigan 1 =>Under the Bridge 7 Fight like a Brave 1 => Californication 7 The Zephyr Song 1 => Californication 7 Dani California 1 => Under the Bridge 7 Snow(Hey Oh) 1 => Otherside 7 My Friends 1 => Otherside

I think "Under The Bridge" was my only pick from the Top 8 final list. It's very similar to what I expected overall. A lot of my votes ended up in the 10-20 range.
