    I remember Plush was blown out on the radio, but I still liked the tune. Core did'nt really do it for me, it sounded a little too much like a Pearl Jam / Nirvana bastard child, but it was Purple that seperated them for me. I spent a summer obsessed with that album. Tiny Music is terrific.
    I disliked No.4 , but really liked Shangri-La

    I always liked Weilands melodies more than anything else with the band - The bass always had a distinct sound though

    they were a crappy band that got into the bandwagon of the Seattle explosion or whatever that was.

    You could say that, but if you knew anything about the band you'd know that there is a demo tape from sometime in 1990 where a bunch of songs on it are the same ones from on Core. Meaning, that they had the sound before Pearl Jam existed and before Nirvana got huge with Nevermind. And anyway, their following albums are very different from that sound, and if you'd actually listen to the band you'd know that.

    How fucking good is that tape? All the funk on there is awesome.

    "Purple is one of my all time favorite albums " Excellent from start to finish.

    and you should know that the Seattle explosion or whatever had its peak in 1989 when Mudhoney, TAD and another little band were "underground huge" in UK and Europe. And in 1990 Mother Crap Bone was already in a major label as well as Soundgarden so the writing was on the wall.

    I liked STP when I was a little teenager and impressive young dude. When you grow up you realize of all of these phony rock groups.

    Oh, how grown up you are!!! I'd love to know what you define as phony. What's wrong with a band that consistently produces well-written, extremely cohesive rock songs? Rob Deleo is one of the most impressive bassists and songwriters of the last 20 years. He occasionally gets his due, but mostly he and Dean's talent gets lost in the overall dislike of Weiland. Do tell what makes STP phony. As already stated, many of the songs that ended up on Core were written by 1989. Ever think that much of the similarity in the sound of all the alternative bands of the 90's had to do with the "hot" production values of the day?

    that's funny, the song 'still remains' came up in a thread in AET.

    i have purple, but not tiny music. purple, to me, is an album that you can listen to from beginning to end and not be let down by any of the songs. one of my favorite cd's.

    I'm not generally that big on STP, but Purple is definitely a great album front to back.
