The Greatest Music
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
The 455th greatest album of all time
Blood Sugar Sex Magik, released in 1991 by Red Hot Chili Peppers, blends funk-driven grooves and raw rock with more melodic and introspective songwriting. Produced by Rick Rubin and featuring John Frusciante's chiming guitar lines and Flea's prominent slap bass, the album juxtaposes high-energy funk-rock tracks with quieter, personal songs, notably "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge". Its cleaner, stripped-back production and emphasis on dynamics helped broaden the band's sound and influence on alternative rock and funk rock in the 1990s.
