Red Hot Chili Peppers "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" [1991]

Shaved orangutans could create better songs than these SoCal low-lifes, and on "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," the Red Hot Chili Peppers set out to prove this to the world. Produced by unshaved orangutan Rick Rubin, this double-album dose of narcotic spooge and retarded funk did for rock music what Tom Green did for comedy. Worst of all are the unbelievably shitty pop ballads here, in which searingly off-key singer Anthony Kiedis (during his pre-pitch-corrected years) put blisters on the eardrums of anyone within a mile radius of a college dorm in the early 90s. Instead of being allowed anywhere near a recording studio -- or any instruments, for that matter -- humanity would have been much better served putting these guys in a cage at the zoo and letting them beat off on each other.
