Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers formed in 1983 when Anthony Kiedis and Flea who had met in high school decided to start up a band. A year after Hillel Slovak's death (due to heroine overdose) the Red Hot Chili Peppers hit it big with the release of the CD Mother's Milk. After that the Red Hot Chili Peppers released the wildly successful Blood Sugar Sex Magik, which had mainstream hits like Under The Bridge, and Give It Away. 1999's Californication was another huge hit. More hits include, Scar Tissue, and Can't Stop. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' were also honored that year with a Video Vanguard Award.

Kings Of Leon


Kings Of Leon is a southern rock and roll band. Named after their father Leon, the band signed with RCA Records in 2002. Youth And Young Manhood was their first album selling only 100,000 copies in the US, but sold 750,000 elsewhere. The group's second album Aha Shake Heartbreak was highly anticipated, moving to number three on the British charts. Because Of The Times the bands third album was the most popular yet. Knocked Up, Charmer, and On Call led the way as the most popular tracks on that album. Their latest album "Only By The Night" is what took America by storm. This album is known for their two main hits Use Somebody, and Sex On Fire. The band got nominated for an American Music Award in 2009, and I won Best Rock Band for the British Music Awards.
