Which do you think is the best from this great album?

The Top Ten

  1. Can't Stop

    Such a good song. I can't stop listening to it!

    Best rapping ever! Can't stop listening.

    I LOVE THIS SONG, though it's slightly overrated, it makes the better cut.

  2. By the Way

  3. Dosed

    It's just a calm song. I love it so much that I had it push off On Mercury and Minor Thing. It'll always be an amazing 5 minutes.

  4. The Zephyr Song

    This is one of the greatest love songs of all time. It takes hours of other music to get it out of my head!

  5. Venice Queen

  6. Don't Forget Me

    My second favorite - should be higher.

  7. This Is the Place

    This is your calling.

    Listen to this song.

    This is a song to come away with.

    This song will save the day for you in every way.

    I can't describe it - just give it a listen. And the rest of the album.

  8. Minor Thing

    The best guitar solo, and only Venice Queen gets near it.

  9. Throw Away Your Television

    Oy oy oy! This is so good!

    It's a repeat. But unlike TV, it will never get old. I actually do like TV, but this melody can't be ignored. Catchy as heck.

  10. Universally Speaking

    How is this so low! There's a reason it was chosen to be on the greatest hits album!

    Best. RHCP song. Ever! (Besides maybe Under the Bridge.) How can:

    "Come on baby, that's no name

    I won't go till I got what I came for

    Universally speaking I

    Take it back and you make me nervous

    Nothing better than love and service

    Universally speaking I

    Ooo

    Win in the long run."

    Be denied?

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Eskimo

  12. ?

    Runaway

    13. The Contenders

  13. Cabron

    Such a great ballad. I love it so much. The Chili Peppers are so good at these kinds of songs.

  14. Warm Tape

  15. Midnight

    What? Not in the Top 10? Best song on By the Way.

  16. On Mercury

    In my opinion, the best song off the album.

    - Spiridquin

  17. Tear

    One of my favorites. The piano is perfect. The vocals are great. The drums are a good addition. And the guitar! There's a solo - not really on guitar, I'm not sure what it is - and a trumpet solo, too, which adds so much. The main structure is the piano, lead vocals, and harmonies, which are incredible! The chorus is one of my favorites ever!

  18. I Could Die for You

    This is the meaning of romantic and powerful. They give it their all on this powerhouse.

  19. Body of Water

  20. Time

  21. Bicycle Song
