Red Hot Chili Peppers October 2, 2012

Few rock groups of the '80s broke down as many musical barriers as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Boasting a wild fusion of funk, punk, hip hop and psychedelic rock, the Chili Peppers, led by founding members Anthony Kiedis and bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, spawned a new style and a bunch of imitators along the way. Over 20 years later they have multiple Grammy wins and over 65 million albums sold worldwide to their credit.
