I never understood, and still don’t understand, why STP was labeled a Pearl Jam clone when they hit it big. To me they sound nothing like, and are infinitely superior to, Pearl Jam.

To answer the question in the OP, “Sex Type Thing” is my favorite, followed closely by “Lady Picture Show”.

The sound was remotely similar since coming from same era BUT as a whole STP’s iconic sound was nothing close to Pearl Jam, and I like both a lot.

Lucky that I caught STP with Weiland when he was ON in 2010 BR River Center, great show full of hits. Came out swinging with Crackerman and Weiland with his megaphone and were off and running from there. Outstanding vocalist

Agree. There was a huge backlash against them when Core came out over this. I never understood it, either. I’m glad they overcame it. Shame about Weiland, but like Staley, you could always sense that it was inevitable. Scott just lasted longer.
