this is my fuckin favorite stp song

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 3 January 2020 23:41 (six years ago)

I've listened to a couple of the post-Purple joints, Weiland's 12-Bar Blues, even the Talk Show album, and my feeling is they pretty much shot all they had that second time out.

It's a good one, for sure.

Tiny Music has the best ratio of great/good non-singles.

One of my favorite 2010s songs is a non-Pollard from the double LP

Pollard would write a lyric with the phrase "humble kidney pie."

re: tiny music, i routinely forget how good "adhesive" is too. it sounds like a psych emo song with a trumpet solo

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 January 2020 03:24 (six years ago)

best album track on purple is "unglued" imo

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:14 (six years ago)

which my best friend and I loved when it first aired cos "masturbation" is the third word

looking for Mon in Alderaan places (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:17 (six years ago)

I loved "Lounge Fly", but only cos I recognized the part of the song that was used on MTV

looking for Mon in Alderaan places (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:18 (six years ago)

"Adhesive" is rad

billstevejim, Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:22 (six years ago)

young me had a hard time adjusting to Tiny Music's expansion into other genres and wearing more of their 70s influences on their sleeves

adult me is all about that shit. like I hated "And So I Know" with a passion then, but right now this shit makes me wanna get in a goddamn jacuzzi with a mai tai

looking for Mon in Alderaan places (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:22 (six years ago)

I love "Adhesive", it was one of the many tracks where I wondered if he sucked helium out of a balloon before recording though.

also hate the Ju-On esque "i told you five or four times" gross vocal thing at the end of "Art School Girl"

looking for Mon in Alderaan places (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:24 (six years ago)

The move toward Bowie/Zeppelin/Lennon was exactly what pulled me in.

billstevejim, Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:31 (six years ago)

yeah I was just spinning through Tiny Music and I really dig it much more now than I did as a kid. really let the DeLeos play to their strengths

Btw unglued is awesome and super fun to play on guitar. Same w silvergun superman.

Kitchenware & candybars is a good tool song

Tiny Music has the best ratio of great/good non-singles

I kinda think this might be No. 4 instead actually

PLEB AF (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 4 January 2020 06:36 (six years ago)

Brad, just have to say real quick that I have mad respect for your musical opinions even when they diverge wildly from my own. Your enthusiasm is palpable.

huh, never read the credits for 12 bar blues before

Sheryl Crow – accordion
Brad Mehldau – piano

american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 6 January 2020 18:52 (six years ago)

also thanks to this thread i'm listening to a ton of stp and i think i've been underrating no. 4 for ages. "down," "heaven & hot rods," "church on tuesday," "sour girl," all pretty great. lmao that "no way out" is basically a nu-metal song though

voted STP to help the ratio a bit but im probably ready to do a gbv deep dive here soon.

this must be the poll that comes right before Led Zeppelin vs crying babies on airplanes

Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 10 January 2020 02:50 (six years ago)

Crying baby on an airplane v. Weiland's millionth rendition of the chorus on the 12" dance mix of Interstate Love Song.

An Oral History of Deez Nutz (PBKR), Friday, 10 January 2020 02:55 (six years ago)

Lol, I just looked up that song and it's only 2:52. I could have sworn it was close to 5 minutes.

The second album
12 gracious melodieesss

papa stank (Neanderthal), Friday, 10 January 2020 02:57 (six years ago)

"interstate love song"'s economy is part of why i think it's a really awesome song. two verses + two choruses + that riff

obv i do not begrudge stp haters, i've been there

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 10 January 2020 03:00 (six years ago)

they're so funny tho. look at all the good jokes.
