Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers (CD, Sep-1991, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

This has to be one of my all time favorite albums...I saw Under the Bridge on MTV and was hooked!!! I bought this album and not only was I treated to this wonderful - yet sad and true - song but 16 other songs that ranged from slow melodic soulfulness, rock and funk..it basically captures the magic that is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The Chili Peppers were not new in 1991 - but this album helped catapult their career and the band achieved more main street success!! Under the Bridge and Give it Away received prolific radio and TV play - and still do; however this album has a lot more to offer. Could have Lied is a personal favorite - a little slower ballad but strong heartfelt lyrics! The power of equality, a funky song which highlights Flea's skills on the bass. Sir Psycho sexy is a ranchy rendition, which Kiedis almost talks his was through as opposes to sing! It finished with the insane their red hot - a crazy snippet often played at earlier shows - this may be a regular track on some pressings - on my UK version it plays minutes after the main album ends as a hidden track!
One of the coolest, craziest, most eclectic CDs in my collection - and that's why I will always love this!
