Stone Temple Pilots are the best band of the 90s

How do you do this?

Scagden · 2 January 2022 21:54

Ah we’re doing the “90s band that, on paper, I should love but can’t be doing with the chap’s voice” thread early this year I see.

This is great and always makes me think I should give The Doors another try so I give The Doors another try and whaddya know I still hate The Doors.

While I disagree with your proposition, I commend you on the bravery of your statement.

Here’s a really pretty, fuzzy one that never made it to the radio. His melodies are so good.

colossalhorse · 3 January 2022 08:19

They wrote some bangers and I’ll always be partial to purple but they’re a second tier 90s rock band at best. Scott could always be relied upon to write some stinking lyrics to spoil a good sing along. “And I feel when the dogs begin to smell her/will she smell alone?” 'The fuck you talking about, Weiland?

Never really given this much of a listen. Any good?

spiritofjazz · 3 January 2022 14:17

Or this, come to think of it. That’s this afternoon’s listening sorted….

TAFH33 · 3 January 2022 17:46

Oh man, I haven’t listened to Talk Show in over 20 years. I remember liking the album when I got it, and there are definitely some very good songs on there, but it is missing some of that intangible chemistry between the full band.

Really need to finally listen to 12 Bar Blues. I remember seeing Barbarella on MTV2 and I absolutely loved it, but I could never find the CD anywhere. Completely forgot about it in the Spotify era.

spiritofjazz · 3 January 2022 17:59

Yeah Barbarella was the only one I was familiar with. Didn’t give it much of a chance back in the day because I was only interested in music with distorted guitars in 1998. Same reason I completely sacked off Chris Cornell’s first solo album the following year……

I rinsed 12 Bar Blues back when it came out, really liked it a lot. Remember thinking at the time that it sounded a lot like it had a heavy Beck influence which wasn’t something I’d have expected from anyone associated with Stone Temple Pilots.
