EPISODE SUMMARY:
While any band with an album on the list obviously deserves respect and appreciation, some of these musicians can be extremely polarizing. Whether you consider them to be once-obnoxiously ubiquitous novelties or true genre blending artists, you probably have some opinion about alternative rock royalty the Red Hot Chili Peppers. After all, their 1994 album Californication, their most commercially successful to date, sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Never one to shy away from sharing his opinions, comedian Big Jay Oakerson makes his third appearance on the podcast to discuss the album, comment on the band’s cultural legacy, and remind everyone why his show The Bonfire on SiriusXM and podcast Legion of Skanks make up some of the funniest content you’ll ever enjoy.
