Theoretically, there’s only so much you can mine out of re-purposing a decades-old Tom Petty song as the lead single for your longest album to date, but this somehow became one of the band’s most successful singles. “Dani California” Stadium Arcadium (2006)
This was one of the moments where they veered a little too close to the norm at a time when they were making some of the best music of their career. You can’t really talk about alt-rock radio in the last 25 years without talking about RHCP, but they always seemed to exist slightly outside of the prevalent trends, marching to the beat of their own drum (which was plenty flawed, but at least individually expressive). “Organic Anti-Beat Box Band” The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987) Flea’s bass kicks in as soon as the track begins to assure the band is not “over funk.” They do appear to be over writing great melodies, which the Californication sessions were known for.
“Over Funk” Californication Bonus Track (1999)ĭon’t panic at the title. They could have at least had the decency of re-sequencing and burying this on Disc Two. That’s why it’s so upsetting that what could have been a triumphant closer was instead a plodding slow-jam.

Stadium Arcadium Disc One is largely a triumph, full of the band’s best songs of the 2000s, songs that helped reinvigorate their career and usher in a new generation of fans who were children during their golden years.
