The XFM Top 1000 Songs Of All Time
Red Hot Chili Peppers

19 RHCP songs, 17 with John, on a top-1000 list by XFM

Eminent British radio XFM, with help of its readers, has compiled a list of the Top 1000 Songs Of All The Time and it’s most entirely made out of rock and alternative music; which isn’t a big surprise given who their listeners are.

19 songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 17 of which are from both John eras, have been selected for this list. They’re all the same page, and the list begins here.

Here are all the songs that made the list, listed by albums, as it is more convinient that way. Sadly, only one of them was not released as a single, the rest are all overplayed singles. Then again, the entire list, unless when the currently new and hip bands are mentioned, consists of overplayed singles.

From Mother’s Milk: Higher Ground

From BloodSugarSexMagik: Under The Bridge, Give It Away, Suck My Kiss, Breaking The Girl, Blood Sugar Sex Magik

From One Hot Minute Aeroplane*

From Beavis And Butthead Do America OST Love Rollercoaster*
