The six hundred and ninety-third album: #693 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers aren't a band I expect a lot of deep thoughts or heavy themes from. Instead, it's a punky attitude that thrives on its own sound and blunt lyrics, leaning into the sex, drugs and rock and roll vibes. There are some lovely ballads between the harder songs, but it's that high energy performance that works as often. In the end, as much as it is joked about, their style is one that works for me, whether it's the high energy Give It Away or the more raw Under The Bridge.
