Where do I begin? Californication? As the an influential RHCP album? Influential for shitty pop rock? What exactly did this album influence? It's terrible. The only thing it influenced was marketing companies making shitty commercials who needed a song about California. I hate RHCP but they definitely have influential albums. The early the late 90s had all kinds of shitty bands attempting to copy RHCPs shitty attempt at copying George Clinton long before this garbage pop album.
