Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs With the Best Bass

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Flea is one of the best bassists ever. But which songs does he play best on?
The Top Ten
1 Coffee Shop

Best bass solo in history! Pure magic!

2 Around the World

It fools you at the start. You go "what the hell is Flea doing" and then it gets into the fast part and your like "being Flea, that's what he's doing! "

Of course it's Around The World. But why isn't Knock Me Down in the list?! The bass is the first thing you hear in the chorus!

3 Aeroplane

The whole song is a bass solo but it makes an amazing complement to the band as well, hats off to Flea on this one

Dave Navarro's guitar can't even compare with the sounds Flea's bass is making!

My first contact with the red hot. An amazing bass solo from the beginning to the end!

4 Walkabout

This is what my dreams sound like...

5 The Power of Equality
6 Soul to Squeeze

Maybe there's better but this one it the most memorable, beautiful

It doesn't squeeze your soul, it soothes it.

Easily the best

Simply magic

7 Sir Psycho Sexy
8 Suck My Kiss

Only 17th?!? You don't listen to that song?!? The intro is just AWESOME!

9 Higher Ground

This track proves that Flea is on much higher ground than any other bassist!

Flea is easily the best bassist in the whole story. just sit back and listen

10 Dark Necessities

The slap bass in this song just makes me want to tap my fingers. Its excellent, it is my favorite one that I've encountered so far.

The bass on the first single from The Getaway blew me away!

Easily the best bass on this album.

This bassline is pure love! so catchy and overall one of the best songs on this album.

The Contenders
11 Can't Stop

You know it's good if Flea ripped of himself in The Getaway with Dark Necessities with that song (well, kinda...).

That riff is just fantastic

12 Tell Me Baby
13 Give It Away

It's a bit hard to notice but when you do notice it, it's awesome!

14 Salute to Kareem

Exquisite solos by everyone in this energetic instrumental. I was blown away when I listened to it.

Awesome Song! Never made the album (somehow! )

15 Otherside

Incredible bass one of the best parts of the song!

16 Naked in the Rain
17 Californication

This is the best and melodic bass line ever

18 By the Way

Awesome bass

19 Nobody Weird Like Me

The intro has the fattest bass slapping intro I've ever heard in my life. There funkiest song by far

20 Right On Time

AMAZING LINE FROM FLEA. A common disco bass pattern. Fantastic!

Definitely the hardest bassline by Flea, along with Nobody Weird Like Me

Fast and precise...!

21 Throw Away Your Television

It has the real funk.

22 Me and My Friends
23 Readymade

Reminds me of The Mars Volta's Cassandra Gemini
