It wasn't Simply Red. Sorry.


You have SEVEN ticks from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' surprisingly large range of UK Top 40 hits. Use them wisely.

"the worst song that is loved by everyone"

It occurs to me that "Under the Bridge" is a good candidate. I think it's pretty hard to argue that this isn't a classic song, and one that somehow speaks to a diverse group of people. I certainly loved it at the time and for a few years after. But somehow the sameness and the shtick that have followed have made them unbearable. A few of their later singles ('Scar Tissue' but also I think 'Road Trippin' and 'By the Way', maybe) have sounded kind of okay, but this guys really are one of the bands that will actively move me to turn off the music if they come on.

(Also, as Steve says above, there were kind of interesting around the time of Mother's Milk, although the fact that the best thing they did was a cover of a Stevie Wonder song pretty much sums up the band, IMO.)
