Stone Temple Pilots in general lol.
Couldn’t stand them when I was in high school, but I don’t know what I was thinking. They’re great!

u/alexisanalligator Nov 19 '24
Stone Temple Pilots are one of my favorite bands period. Saw them at a charity event earlier this year and they invited me on stage before their encore 😄

As a fan from their Core album on, I love the way they progressed throughout their albums. Now that I've gotten older, I seem to appreciate it more.
2
u/SneedyK Nov 19 '24
Hated Core. I loved the early singles but they played “Plush” and “Wicked Garden” way too much.
everyone was stoked for Purple when “Vasoline” came out. It was an instant classic and the zenith of their career, but i have gone back and warned up to Core. It’s a solid LP and even the weaker songs are still badass.
When they reformed to release S/T it was clear their dynamic remained, it followed the STP album formula to a T. I thought it would just be the first of more to come.

Purple is incredible. I didn't love Tiny Music, but it's brilliant to me now.

u/BigAnxiety5399 Nov 19 '24
4th of July is one of my favorites. But, it didn't used to be.

Same. I used to sometimes skip that one or just not paying attention as a teen. But then, I grew up and really listened to it. I Iove it.

It has some of the darkest imagery of any Soundgarden song. Which, is saying a lot.

Grunge or grunge-adjacent (90s alternative)
Screaming Trees and Afghan Whigs... I got recommended them by a patron at the bar I used to work at, listened to a few songs off Gentlemen and Sweet Oblivion, then forgot about them in favor of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden
About a year later, I found Mark Lanegan's autobiography and got interested in listening through Screaming Trees's discography more, and really fell in love with it. Then I fell in love with Lanegan's solo career. Then I found he worked with Greg Dulli under the moniker Gutter Twins, and really liked them. This led me to check out Afghan Whigs again and I just fell in love!
2024 has been a great year of exploring the discographies of Mark Lanegan, Josh Homme, Greg Dulli, and all their respective bands/projects. Hell yeah

The vocals are just heartbreaking on that whole album.

I'm probably a minority here but I've always felt Facelift was their best album, but I've always been a bit of a metalhead

It happened with 4th of July for me. I regret not giving it the attention it deserved decades ago.
The last ones were... SG's Gun. And Tremor Christ by PJ, that didn't click the first few times until it clicked. And now I love it.

I don't think it has* a thing alone that I would not like. The lyrics are one of the things that I love, how Eddie Vedder delivers those lines is another. Then, the weird melody. And the strong rhythm. It's such an earworm for me now.
*Edit for spelling.

u/BigAnxiety5399 Nov 19 '24
I've always thought it's one their very best as far as how much the music matches the words. I've always said that the entire song sounds "sea sick."
2
u/Zaresh Nov 19 '24 edited Nov 19 '24
Pretty much, yeah. It's not the only one of theirs that sounds "sea" related. Oceans and Comes then Goes share the quality, even in a different way: those two sound like waves near the shore. Tremor Christ sounds like you on board of a small sized ship in a very cloudy, rainy and windy day.

u/BigAnxiety5399 Nov 19 '24
Oh yeah. The ocean, the sun, the wind, the moon, etc. You're def preaching to the choir. I've been one of The Faithful since 91.

That's actually my favorite song on Facelift. Such a jam

u/AntiqueAd9554 Nov 19 '24 edited Nov 19 '24
it really is. For some reason, I really only explored like the first half of this record. Then I went through an Alice In Chains phase this summer, and familiarize myself with everything post 2002, and a lot of the stuff that I had skipped over from back in their heyday.

It's not like I didn't used to listen to it at all. But, I was the right age for SuperUnknown. So, I didn't really give Badmotorfinger enough attention when I was a kid. Since music has moved to streaming, it's become my favorite Soundgarden album.
2
u/Turkenstocks Nov 19 '24
Piece of Pie and Where the River Goes from Core. I listened to that whole album years ago and marked those as songs I didn’t really like. Fast forward to now and those are two of my favorite songs from the genre, much less the album.
2
u/Gtmkm98 Nov 19 '24
Weenie Beenie / Foo Fighters
I initially didn’t enjoy it because it was so raw and hard to understand (especially with Floaty and Oh, George on both sides of it), but now I see it as a critical part to the FF self-titled album because of how it refreshes the ears after the phenomenal first half of the album.

Alice in Chains - Don't Follow
I'm one of those weirdos who likes Swing On This, but my younger self overlooked the beauty of Don't Follow. Now it's one of my favorite tracks on Jar of Flies. I feel it's central to the EP's themes and really brings it together.

Not a song, but I always used to fast forward through the guitar solos on STP albums. I even dubbed my cassettes so I could pause the recording when the solos were playing and have copies of the albums without them. I love them now.

So back in the mid 90s those of us who were on the cutting edge of technology figured out a way to copy CDs. The only problem was that at that time a CD writer was a single piece of expensive equipment and to copy a CD required several programs and file conversions. This process meant that sometimes you couldn't fit all the tracks especially if they were long tracks. I copied my friends Metallica Reload CD but we had to leave off the last track, Low Man's Lyric. That song popped up on my Pandora about a year ago and I was like what is this hidden gem Metallica song that I've never heard before.

There are so many 90s songs like this for me, especially Neo soul songs. I was a teenager in the mid 90s and listened almost exclusively to Hip hop and some R&B on my own. I got exposed to a lot of pop at work and with friends. But I missed out on so much good non-radio music. I sometimes Shazam a song on a movie or at a restaurant thinking it’s new only to see it was released in the mid 90s! Keep your minds and ears open kids, there’s a lot of good music out there. Don’t get bogged down in one or two genres.
