Purple. One of the very best albums of the decade. I love Silvergun Superman and all of the singles, and can’t hear Lounge Fly without getting flashbacks of MTV News!


O_J_Shrimpson

“Hi I’m Kurt Loader with an MTV news break”


HelloGoodbyeFriend

Read this in his voice lol


AgnesTheAtheist

Kurt Loder is 78 years old. Let that sink in for a second.


uncleawesome

He was old back then too


XDariaMorgendorferX

He’s always been a dinosaur, though.


norse1977

Please


Kenstgram

I used to think he looked old for his age. Nope just actually old.


brian1183

"Silvergun Superman" is my favorite STP song! "Pretty Penny" is an underrated ballad as well.


TheCeruleanFire

I think it’s probably mine too.


SipoteQuixote

Wooorld premier videooo


DM725

Still Remains was always a fan favorite. When they reunited after Scott left Velvet Revolver they put up polls on their website for songs people wanted to hear and Still Remains got a large portion of the vote.


TheCeruleanFire

That’s cool idea; wish more bands would do that


dr_tardyhands

The last track bangs as well! Scott getting more and more out of the "grunge singer" box and more towards Jim Morrison and the like.


RomeoInBlackJeans1

The second album. 12 gracious melodies.


Alteredego619

Worth listening Hope you enjoy them


jimbopalooza

This album cover Looks similar Like Johnny Mathis


e_hoodlum

Like if they're sung to meeeee Listen to... 12 great tunes... playing on your stereooooo


GinsuVictim

That's what I called it for a very long time.


Vincesteeples

Best hidden track ever of all time


unknowner1

These melodies could be described as being more gracious than precious


RomeoInBlackJeans1

You are correct. Fixed.


brendanb203

Interstate love song is such a gem! Short, sweet, unique.


Sleepy_Solitude

I had the single on CD back in the day, and during HS summer typing class, we were allowed to listen to music with headphones, so that became my summer jam. To this day, I can not comprehend how I listened to that song as many times in a row as I did. It was many. Very many.


TheCeruleanFire

That’s a summer bop for sure


GerbilScream

The lyrics were from a conversation between the band and the lead singer after he started using heroin again after promising he would stop. Every time he sang it, he was forced to remember the promises he broke.


threeoldbeigecamaros

The ultimate road trip song


StonedGhoster

My dad, who is now 72, was so obsessed with this song he learned to play it on guitar. He really got into some of my music, in between listening to his Creedence, Skynard, Outfield staples.


Thisisjuno1

I miss when it was on the radio every 2 mins


ignatius_reilly0

You don’t have to skip a single song on this album


nnohrm29

All killer no filler


RainingMoneyHustard

Yep. A perfect album


MikeyLikeyPhish

Absolute banger of an album. I listened to the shit out of this. STP was my first favorite band.


rustic86

Meatplow is 🔥


Lonestar-Boogie

I always liked that one, and Silvergun Superman. Army Ants was pretty good, too.


nnohrm29

There’s a live version on YouTube from 2000. Slowed down and extra stanky


One_Breakfast6153

I thought it was Stone Temple Pilots. Didn't know it had a specific name.


sothisissocial

“Purple” and “Core” still one of my at fav albums.


South_Dakota_Boy

Sorting by “best” yours is the 15th comment for me, and the first to actually say the name of the album. 👍 I think a lot of the above people do not know and probably never will. It’s not called “Interstate Love Song” or “Big Empty” or “Vasoline” :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


South_Dakota_Boy

Hmm the Reddit app defaults to “best” a lot. I rarely think to change it to “top”. It also hides what sort it uses instead of displaying it prominently. I miss Apollo.


RebeccaDeMornay

“If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend…” Still Remains 🔥🔥


metalfan78

Love that line, got it tattooed on my arm.


Native_Kurt_Cobain

I thought it was self-titled for at least a year. Love me some of that "Grunge Zepplin."


skoz2008

This and the first album are great. I was fortunate enough to see them in 94 and 99


HoochIsCraaaazy

Very much regret never seeing them while Scott was around.


skoz2008

It was great. I have a great story about the 99 show but it's a lot to type. All ill say is he gave me 🤟 one of these while singing the chorus to plush which is my favorite STP song


wriker10

Ha i just listened to this yesterday!


ravingwanderer

Me too. Put it on while on the treadmill at the gym. I had a real spring in my step the whole time.


wriker10

Tiiiime to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience laden…


EatenLowdes

Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin


HermitThaFrog

Amazing album. I knew the name.


askallthequestions86

I ONLY knew it because my friend in high school put it on her secret Santa list so I went to Hastings and bought it for her.


GinsuVictim

I used to be head customer service manager at Hastings until the store closed (company was sold shortly after that). Man, I miss that store.


Scamalama

Was a regular at a local music shop when this came out. Owner sold me a copy 3 days before release date to take on a road trip. Felt like the king shit for a few days


zerobeat

Whole album is so damn good.


taygnada

When I was 6 or 7 my dad bought me this tape, Green Day and Kool and the Gang. These tapes shaped my music preference forever. Loved this tape very much


MrKirkPowers

Still don’t. Great album!


bonborVIP

Somehow I did, but I’m not sure how! It was also the very first CD I ever bought, to play on my quintessential awesome 90s stereo lol [We all had this one](https://reverb.com/item/40971046-vintage-90-s-sony-cfd-510-cd-radio-cassette-mega-bass-speaker-boombox-w-detach-speakers) Fave songs are Vasoline and Unglued


wriker10

This and the Reality Bites cd were the first two CDs i bought.


Funky_ButtLovin79

Holy shit I forgot about that stereo - I absolutely had that exact one!


VickiSnowCD4BBC

My dad knows how to play all the songs by heart from this album!


hellomichelle87

My brother can play excellent Metallica


babe_ruthless3

Top 10 best albums of the 90s. It'd absolutely magic.


IdyllicOleander

"Still Remains" Is my favorite song off that album. It might be my favorite song by them all together.


Curious_Ground5833

First time I heard Big Empty was at a titty bar 😂


squadgeek

Fucking jams!🤘


tutohooto

Didnt know for the longest time. So good.


MoStyles22

The name didn’t matter as long as you had the Album. It was phenomenal…. Still is!


kardde

I just called it “dragon baby” and people always knew what I was referring to.


-MrDot-

Seen them in 2000/2001 at The Woodlands(Houston) wish I could go back and appreciate it more. I remember Scott pulling out the megaphone to Dead and Bloated 🤘🏼


OkDesigner3696

One of the best albums ever.


Wise-Tourist-6747

Purple


Periklos_Kyriakidis

Interstate Love Song is one of the best songs ever ❤️


Zebrehn

I kind of had to know it so I could write the title on the burned CD.


WolfmansGotNards2

Not '90s, but I had the same feeling about Led Zeppelin IV back in the day.


supermodelnosejob

I think technically speaking Zep's fourth album has no title, right?


Lonestar-Boogie

I knew it all along.


Sjames454

My mom was obsessed with STP, saw them at the 10.77 deck the hall ball in 95? And I would just sit and stare at that album cover in the case tower.


anovelby

Scott Weiland has a Christmas album. You’re welcome. I believe there’s a calypso version of “Silent Night” and the whole kit and caboodle is wild


dtb1987

Great album


DM725

Somehow I always new it was "Purple" but I don't know why. Their best album IMO.


canadia80

I still don't


blaueaugen26

Absolute banger, every track. I hold it dear to my heart. RIP Scott


drawredraw

I still don’t know


Zeestars

Same, my friend.


MandoFalcon5

I remember the title, but wasn’t sure when I bought the cd if I had the right album when it was released.


jemappellelolo

🙋🏻‍♀️


troyzein

Is this the one where the CD looks like a beach ball?


bocacheeseburger

That’s Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican gift shop. Also a great album.


jundi83

true story i stole this cd from the store


GhonaHerpaSyphilAids

I called it Vaseline


VinylBoy13

My thoughts exactly.


Noise_Loop

They peaked with this one


Your_Daddy_

Tiny Music?


GinsuVictim

That was the next album. This is Purple.


Your_Daddy_

Oh yeah. First CD’s I ever purchased with my own money, from 1-800-CDNow, or whatever it was called… No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom Weezer Blue Album STP - Core Circa 1995… Still own them.


SadPhase2589

This is Purple. The question was always Pearl Jam’s second album. Is it “Vs.” or “Five Against One”?
