while i know it isnt quite complete its great

first thing i ever bought of RHCP, my bro already had californication but i had to get this. its just a greatest hits comp, so ill list 5 notables: scar tissue, suck my kiss, higher ground, by the way, otherside.

A Best of Collection would have been better...

What were they thinking on this one. They arleady have a greatest hits collection from there early years. Which they should of included songs from that era but instead they go the californication route on this one and have songs from 89 and up. However, I'm not bashing this collection because it is a great disc and serves them justice for there new fans. I was excited to see Soul to Squeeze as it doesn't appear on any chili peppers albums, but I was disappointed that Can't Stop wasn't on here and they could've easily taken off Universally Speaking which is not a favorite of mine, and they could've added a couple of live tunes as well, instead we get 2 decent B-Sides which I do like. Hopefully they will learn from there mistakes and make a "The Very Best of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 1984-2006" or something along those lines and make this and What Hits collection obsolete! O well at least Stadium Arcadium will be coming out in May and I will have forgotton about this disc and be listening to that album non-stop, and from the live songs I've already heard from it, it's going to sound great.

Nice Selection

I have become pretty much a die hard chili pepper fan over the past several years and this was my first album. It is an excelent selecion for a first time listener.
