yes OHM and BSSM were MORE excellent but that doesnt change the fact that the last 3 RCHP albums were also excellent

The first three RHCP albums were great - I particularly like the George Clinton-produced Freaky Styley, which had the support of the Parliament horn section (actually I met them at an in-store appearance in support of that record in about 1987, when I was in high school, and they snuck some friends and me into their over-21 show). As far as I'm concerned, though, the band has sucked since about 1991, and at their worst (One Hot Minute stands out in particular) they are just unlistenable. Anthony Kiedis can't sing on key at all - he is one of the least-talented lead singers in any commercially successful band, ever.
Foo Fighters are generally kind of an unambitious band IMO, but they have many many good songs, and the worst of their music is inoffensive and worlds better than the worst RHCP stuff. I vote for FF as the better band.

Can't stand the foo fighters. They are too generic guitar mashy for me. RHCP has ups and downs, but their overall body of work is still quite impressive. And Stadium Arcadium was a great album.
Having worked with both, I can sat that, IMO, RHCP's are hacks & the FF are one of the best bands in the last 25 years .
Dave Grohl is probably the best lyricist in recent history.
Any band that plays as well as they do, does not have to resort to hopping around the stage with socks on their wieners to try and distract from the fact that no one can play a god damned thing.
Foo Fighters strafe RHCP.

I went to a RHCP concert where the Foo Fighters toured with them and were the second opening band. If you ask me, the Foo Fighters stole the show.
I'm going to simply say that David Grohl is a musical genius and has great stage presence.
RHCP prefers to be a punk band. They have a lot of talent and have had quite a few great songs, but their stage presence isn't at the same level... Of course, Flea did jump across the stage naked, but that was expected. They're definitely close, but Foo Fighters are superior.
Edit: One more point about Grohl. It's been said that he's the reason Nirvana hit it big and that Kurt may have been the front-man, but the band would be no where without Grohl. It goes to show that you don't have to be the lead singer to contribute to music. For him, he got used to being on stage and eased into music. By the time Nirvana was done, he was comfortable with the spotlight being on him.

I have all Foo albums on my MP3 player, and only a few songs from Stadium Arcadium. Both bands rock, but I think FF are the best ...

Master Blaster runs Barter Town, and methane comes from pigshit. this thread gets the GULAG mask.
Both have written excellent music, both have written crappy music. Both are worthy of R&R Hall of Fame or any other supreme award out there. RHCP has probably had more influence over the years but they have had more years to influence. FF has the potential to do the same. Neither is "better" than the other. Both are great.
I have a slight preference for RHCP, if only for the fact that Flea is such a badass on the bass...
Why are all RHCP about California?
I heard there next single is called "I live in california so here is a song about that"

RHCP, individually they are so much more l33t than foo fighters
Although dave grohl > anthony keidis
JAMFF/Flea/Chad Smith > their foo fighters counterparts
I've seen them both more than a few times. They both throw down ridiculous live shows. But RHCP's improv > foo fighters
btw, BSSM is the pinnacle of RHCP l33tness
