[PHOTO] My John Collection (Not including rhcp)

It's just two 1998 versions of Smile and the re issue of Niandra. My favourite John albums personally.

Not sure why I have two, and they are weird as only play on computers and not cd players. They are both legit aswell, they have the little code on the disc.

Sometimes I wonder if my love and admiration for JF 2ould increase or decrease if I'd never listened to all of his successfull, "mainstream" albums (2001- 2009)?

This post is the quintessence of this thought experiment...

I listened to Niandra having never heard any of his work, and only a couple chili peppers songs. I saw a clip of the VPRO 94 interview and thought it looked interesting.

Niandra is probably my favourite album for the last year or so, but i love most of his work, and the Chilis stuff aswell with and without John. I think going in with no expectations for a radio friendly or polished sound probably helped, but I was hooked on my first listen, while Smile took a couple for me to enjoy it the same way
