Stone Temple Pilots (rock, albums, pearl jam, Nirvana, classic)

adidasss · 03-19-2006, 04:59 PM

surprisingly enough, i couldn't find a thread dedicated to this once awsome band.
i got into them via my sister, or rather my mid sister's junkie boyfriend, back when i was a wee lad of some 14 years. Core is in my humble opinion a classic album of the 90's, alongside with Nirvana's Nevermind, one of the rare pure 10 albums in my collection.

however, i have not heard their other albums as i fear they do not hold a candle to Core, can anyone verify?

Yeah album 3 was hit or miss, 4 and five sucked, but I think Purple was amazing.

Thats where you find interstate love song, vasoline, big empty, and unglued.

Core is probably my favorite, Purple is great too.

yeah definitely check out purple and No. 4 wasn't bad either. Purple is almost genius!

Stone temple pilots are okay i guess.....

Reznorlsave · 03-19-2006, 07:03 PM

For the era they strived in they were good! One of the better 90's rock acts in my opinion!

Core is the best, I haven't listened to that in a long time...

Looks like I'll have to dig it out, I'm in an STP mood.

I've read that people think them to be just a rip off band to Pearl Jam. And quite frankly, I don't hear the resemblance at all. I like just about everything I've heard from them.

Yeah, I like STP.

Yea too bad Scott Weiland went over to Velvet Revolver. That band sucks ass. Both bands were awsome but Guns N' Roses doesnt mix well with STP.
