I will usually pick Smashing Pumpkins out of these polls, and this is no exception. Mellon Collie is their best album.

Haven't heard them all, but I doubt something can get funkier than One Hot Minute from the ones listed.
 
Red Hot get my vote.

Indeed it is funky, it's a good album with some nice songs, but it lacks the spark, energy and songwriting that Frusciante adds.
And at times they sound more like Jane's Addiction than RHCP. I love Jane's Addiction, though
However, "Aeroplane", "Walkabout", "Falling into Grace" & "Transcending" are great songs! Smile

"Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt" is probably the most raw, dirty & messy album i've heard that at the same time is so pure, expressive and beautiful CryClap

In Utero, their best album. Followed closely by AiC Unplugged and my favourite FNM album.
It's on PA!
