The legendary RHCP have been around for over 30 years and are still proving their naysayers wrong. By the way is a very diverse and powerful album that plays to the traditional strengths of the band. While this album is not a break through (in style), it demonstrates a maturity that few bands ever reach.
Queensryche was one of the best progressive metal bands until the early 2000s when they became of a more heavy metal oriented band. This small collection hits most of their high points when they were at their creative peak. The only song that is missing is "Anybody Listening," from Empire.
