The Red Hot Chili Peppers have an undeniable legacy in the alternative music world. The sad thing is, most people don't even know that they existed before Blood Sugar Sex Magic or maybe Mother's Milk. The guys had been around for nearly a decade when B.S.S.M. was released and had released several albums. This album is a good compilation for casual fans or for those just looking to see what the guys had done before they got so popular.
