The Red Hot Chili Peppers  (originally Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayheare) are a four piece funk-rock band from Los Angeles, California in 1983. The lineup currently consists of Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), Anthony Kiedis (vocals), John Frusciante (guitar), and Chad Smith (drums). Although their music is commonly refered a "funk rock", the band has successfully created a fusion sound that combines elements of funk, rap, pop, psychedelic rock, some blues, as well as heavy metal. Since the birth of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the early 1980's, they have gone through many personal issues, as well as many lineup changes, resulting in 8 ex-members total including two original members and Janes Addiction's Dave Navarro. The band started off playing one show in 1983 which was supposed to be their one and only, later that year they would sign with EMI Records, then Warner Brothers Records in the 1990's. In the years to come, The Red Hot Chili Peppers would go on to top music charts internationally, have their music featured in movies, and sell over 60 millions of albums worldwide since 1984.

They also hold the records for most #1 modern rock hits with 9, and most weeks spent atop that chart, with 72. Their music has been featured in numerous films and video games, including "Pretty Woman" and "Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater 3". Blood Sugar Sex Magik was listed at number 310 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and then in 1992 it climbed all the way to # 3 on the U.S. album charts almost a year after its release. In 2009 The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be eligible to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

From many of their greatest albums, here are there top ten songs of all time:

10)Fight Like a Brave
A song from their 1987 album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. It is the first song on the album and was released as a single. It combines funk-rap vocals and instruments to create the established and "original" Red Hot Chili Pepper's sound.

Good stuff. I'm glad to see you use the 10 - 1 format. Too many people just give 10 things on a list and you're left to wonder if the order is even significant.
