I haven't really fell in love with them until recently (By The Way), but I always thought they were at least decent. They make beautiful and atmospheric music, I like their musicianship ("sweet" chord changes, minimalistic solos and melodies, funky bass/drum lines), they covered goddamn Robert Johnson. These guys are the real deal.
Frusciante is a god, btw.
EDIT: Their albums are where it's at. Just listening to the radio friendly singles cheapens them quite a bit. For instance: Sir Psycho Sexy, Venice Queen, Warm Tape, I Could Have Lied, Road Trippin', Parallel Universe, etc. Not singles, yet, imo, their bests works.
