best song on the stone temple pilot's greatest hits

err I shoulda put that apostrophe after the s

I was surprised by how good an album this collection is. Remove the tracks from their first album and the rest are cracking.

Big Bang Baby ftw

"wicked garden" best highlights Weiland's ability to sing like he's taking a dump

Big Bang Baby

not sure which one I'm voting for but for my money the trio from Purple might be the best set of singles from any 90s rock album.

i'm goin interstate love song winning barely over bbb

I must admit to always liking that big, fuckoff riff in the lamentably-titled "Sex Type Thing." That said, they're still a gaggle of fatuous douchemonkeys.

btw these are their 10 biggest radio recurrents, in order of most played to least:

Interstate Love Song
Big Empty
Plush
Sex Type Thing
Creep
Vasoline
Wicked Garden
Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Dead & Bloated
Plush (Acoustic)

big empty

Vaseline for the drums

pilot's

Whenever I heard the line "Flies in the vasoline" I thought of this picture:

Voting "Big Bang Baby" -- always thought they were best in glam-rock mode, and that's as glam as they got -- though I like lots of these. Real good album.

Best STP single not on their Greatest Hits CD: either "Unglued" or "Tumble In The Rough."

BBB vs SG

BBB sounds exactly like Redd Kross, except for the chorus which sounds like "Jumpin' Jack Flash (it's a gas, gas, gas)."

Hadn't thought of that, but you're kinda right about the Redd Kross bit.

Best STP single not on their Greatest Hits CD: either "Unglued" or "Tumble In The Rough."

i've always thought unglued would be a terrific song to have playing in the background as you shaved all the hair off your body

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Sour Girl

Always have had a soft spot for Interstate Love Song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I liked all this when it came out & just can't listen to most of it now. With the exception of "Sex Type Thing" which I like even more. Great rock song.

lol multiple people reppin for "sour girl"?

who the FUCK are the three people who voted for Plush?

You talking about "Plush" or "Plush (Acoustic)"?

trippin on a hole in a paper heart

lady picture show is one of the better beatles ripoffs by a gen x band

The worst single of the grunge era is Tripping Daisy’s “I Got a Girl.” This one doesn’t come close.

What exactly makes "I Got a Girl" so wretched? (i think i know, but just want to see if others think it's loathsome for the same reasons I do)

I heard it 5x/day in the summer of ’95... and while its wretchedness is imprinted upon my brain, I’d have to listen again to try breaking down its constituent wretched parts (a task I am loathe to undertake).

I’m afraid I’ll be on my deathbed someday and hear that clown singing “I LIKE her GURRL-friends!” in my head.

Thing I find loathsome #1: he rhymes "girlfriends" with "girlfriends"

interstate love song and big empty are the only ones that have held up well imo

I alluded to it here - 1993 - but there was this actual moment 25 years ago, after Nirvana had beget Pearl Jam, who beget STP - a band with a cheekboned white guy singing through this sideways mouth that was parallel to the floor - that I remember coming home to the house I shared with five other dudes, seeing this grunge band with the 70s lighting going, "I wanna make you happy, I wanna lose control, you're so very special..." and thinking great, now we've got the copies of the last reject.

Oh, I just this moment remembered that 'Mockingbird Girl' wasn't an STP track. That would've been a solid sleeper choice. Poll winner is probably correct.

Ferreting out the true worst song of all the awful songs that came out of the '90s alternative boom would be quite an undertaking. 'Me and Eddie Vedder' is a contender for sure.

I wouldn't have voted for Plush over Interstate Love Song but it's fantastic karaoke. the chorus is one of the great "all vowels, no consonants" moments of '90s era rock signing.

annnn I eeeeeee ayyyyyyy
ehhhhh ooooo gonnnn to moorrrow

song called plush
