30 years ago this week (11/17/1993) Stone Temple Pilots recorded this masterpiece

Weiland in that chair is an iconic image of grunge lore.

In my view, STP’s music has aged best of all those bands.

It’s my go-to act of the grunge bands, anyways.

Core was most definitely grunge. Everything after that changed enough to where I can see it being hard rock or alternative.

Looking back in retrospect now, I find myself listening to STP more often than the other bands from that era. They just had a really unique style.

Hard to believe that was 30 years ago.
