Not a huge fan of the track choices, to be honest. 'Get Up and Jump' from the self-titled is quite possibly my favorite Peppers track, along with 'American Ghost Dance', which just have to be included. 'Grand Pappy Du Plenty' just doesn't fit.

I love that you included their best covers, 'Fire' and 'Higher Ground', but I would have chosen different songs from Mother's Milk as well. 'Magic Johnson' is the worst of the lot IMO, and could have been replaced by another Uplift Mofo track like 'Skinny Sweaty Man.'

I'm not gonna lie though, I love this topic...

edit: my playlist would look something like this:

Fight Like a Brave
True Men Don't Kill Coyotes
American Ghost Dance
Fire (originally by Jimi Hendrix)
Get Up and Jump
Me and My Friends
Higher Ground (originally by Stevie Wonder)
If You Want Me To Stay (originally by Sly & The Family Stone)
Behind The Sun
Good Time Boys
Green Heaven
Hollywood (originally by The Meters)
Skinny Sweaty Man
Out In L.A.
Knock Me Down
Jungle Man
Catholic School Girls Rule
Taste The Pain
The Brothers Cup
Yertle the Turtle
Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky
