Californication

Many figured that the Red Hot Chili Peppers' days as undisputed alternative kings were numbered after their lackluster 1995 release One Hot Minute, but like the great phoenix rising from the ashes, this legendary and influential outfit returned back to greatness with 1999's Californication…

'Californication' is the seventh studio album by Red Hot Chili Peppers. First released on June 8, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records, and produced by Rick Rubin, the album cemented the band into the lexicon of rock history. The album marked the return of John Frusciante, who had previously appeared on 'Mother's Milk' and 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik,' to replace Dave Navarro as the band's guitarist. Frusciante's return was credited with changing the band's sound altogether, producing a notable shift in style from the music recorded with Navarro.

Any discussion of the Top 100 '90s Rock Albums will have to include some grunge, and this one is no different. A defining element of that decade, the genre (and the bands that rose to fame playing it) was given credit for revitalizing rock at a badly needed moment. That said, there's far more to the story. Our list of the Top 100 '90s Rock Albums, presented in chronological order, takes in the rich diversity of the period.
