I prefer the version by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

I never cared too much for Prince's live version. How about you

you ARE aware that the Ohio Players did this first. and the chilli pepper's remade. give me the thick funk of the original ANY day. its like the chilli peppers trying to do Stevie's Higher Ground. puhleeze!

rhcp version is lame robotic and without soul

Prince's version is much better but short

Amen to that

Ohio Players.

you are all going for the original by Ohio Players?

OK. Why do I think you guys are predictable.. lol ?

I just love the pop/rock/funk version made by RHCP, robotic true....

I still like their version and what they are adding to this song.

This song deserved to be on their "Greatest hits" cd, but it wasn't.

^^ These guys are predictable. If it's black and from 40 years ago then out come the rose-tinted glasses.

I prefer RHCP version too. Anybody who doesn't think RHCP can deliver the funk are just stuck in a time-warp.

I like the RHCP version most out of those three, with the Prince version probably at the bottom.

The pictures in that Youtube video are kinda misleading though, since Dave Navarro was in the band when the Chili Peppers recorded their cover of "Love Rollercoaster".

I'll take the Ohio Players 4 $200.

As much as I like the Red Hot's, I think they ruined the song...

Of course. It's not even up for debate. The original version shits on the rest.

They did a better job on 'Higher Ground'.

Yes, they did. That's because Stevie, co-produced it and plays on it.

I never even knew Prince or the Chili Pepper's did a version of this classic Ohio Players cut, neither of them sound right trying to do it either IMO! I'll stick with the original

Wow the truth finally comes out!!! Now I can tell you that you orgers who slag off RnB/Funk groups who knew how to bring it are predictable.

I love RHCP but this cover was awful compared with the original and P's version blows them out of the water. This is killer cut and to make a fast paced robot version was just plain stupid.

Predictable that RnB from back in the day cannot and will not get their props from orgers.

Ditto without a doubt!

The original has the best vocals and guitar.

You can't match it. (With or without Mattyjams rose tinted glasses,lol you fucking suck.)

Skin Tight

I'll just ignore any arguments and y'all can groove to either version.

Since we can't obviously put anything from The Kid (as my friend Chris/Jinx would write in his own unique fashion - what up Dirty Chris!). This will do.
