In their time Chilli peppers took risks. Its hard to be too inventive today, no ones every completly original, but if you're playing funk music when no one else is playing funk music, you're in the business for the right reasons. Im not a super fan, but they have my respect and except for "breaking the girl", I rarely turn off their music.
Only other bands did play funk music at the time RHCP were around.

Mainly The Minutemen and Gang Of Four... Though RHCP were even funkier, and they were more influencial on later bands, like Faith No More and Korn.
