'greatest hits cd/dvd edition' Red Hot Chilli Peppers

im not posting links for this, we all know who and what RHCP are and about, 16 tracks/videos here, i absolutely love this album, one of the best compilation sets i own

Really? I'm not doubting their prowess as a powerhouse in the 80s and 90s alternative music scene, but this is a Greatest Hits album and contains their most popular work not necessarily their best. Most importantly, it does contain material mainly from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication and By The Way, only one of these records stated I would place in my top 3. Missing a lot of material from Mother's Milk in particular and the better works from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, I am disappointed at how the songs have been selected. Unfortunately, most of the tracks for the Greatest Hits compilation are works that were mostly singles (from memory) and not their better works. We all know of the most popular non-single in popular music - Stairway to Heaven and I see a particular similarity here. RHCP were also able to play some of the better covers including Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground and Hendrix's Fire with a huge funk-punk influence.
