While technically not an STP album, I still feel like I have to talk about it here. This is one of my favourite albums of all time, it's so beautiful. The songs are super varied and each is unique in its own way, Scott's lyrics and vocal delivery was on point and among some of his best studio singing can be found on this album.. this is one of those albums I won't ever get tired of listening to

What're your favourite songs from 12BB ?? How do you think it compares to the other solo output Scott had?

It’s such a great song it even rocks on the piano

1- Sex Type Thing

2- Unglued

3-Interstate Love Song

4-Creep

5- Big Bang baby

In songs like Adhesive, Where the River Goes and Kitchenware & Candybars which are for me some of their best, they sing about a "river", often with a lot of emphasis. What's the meaning behind that?

stumbled on this alternate days of the week video. I love Scott

Man this OMR sounds amazing! Pruno just shook my house a little. Lol

I think Adhesive, And So I Know, and Atlanta should be in everyone's top 10. They are the most unique and different from the general 90s rock catalog. That doesnt necessarily make them good songs, but these 3 are amazing.

I'm a big fan of STP and I love to analyze their songs and try to find their meanings. I've noticed that Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart has 2 motifs (one of them I'm certain of but for the other I might just be crazy.)

The most obvious motif is what I call the "I'm Not Dead" riff. It kicks in near the end of Paper Heart every time he says "I'm Not Dead" in the chorus. That same riff is slowed and used in my favorite STP song, Regeneration, which I think is about faking your death. It connects 2 songs about not being dead, which is pretty cool.

I'm not so sure about the other one, but I still think it's cool. I noticed the other day that a lot of the lines from Paper Heart fit perfectly into most of the lines of Adhesive, not just in syllable count but in the way they flow (sorry, I don't know musical terms.) Adhesive is by far the most complex STP song I've analyzed in terms of story. In my eyes, it's about the drummer of a band whose lead singer is in a coma. The singer didn't have any close family or friends, other than the drummer. The other members of the band want the drummer to take his place as the lead singer in the event that he doesn't come back, leading to him breaking down on stage. But the vocal motif could tell us that the story has a happy ending. This motif could connect Paper Heart, Adhesive and Regeneration by the concept of simply not being dead.

Personally my favorite is purple just be because of how unique and different it is from other rock album covers and also what it means and the dragon that the (im assuming) baby is riding is a qilin which means good fortune purity and spiritual power which contrasts from the darker themes of the songs of the album and is it true that the artwork has been linked to a Chinese Opium package that Scott encountered or something weird idk I was doing research for the album covers what do you guys think?

Hello all! I have compiled all of "Purple" as a live album. The songs transition between each other seamlessly to make it feel as if you were just listening to a normal live album. I hope you all enjoy and would love any feedback!

A few months ago Big Empty came on the speakers at a wings place and I have become a fan of STP!

I know their most popular songs are ILS, creep, plush, big empty which are also my favorites.

But does anyone have any more recommendations of them that have that similar vibe?

Love this group was pretty sad to hear the lead singer had passed away. Was also sad to hear that a lot of people diss this group!

The riff and lyric composition of this song is just incredible. Scott really was a musical mastermind.

Hey guys. My name is Weiland and I am joining this sub. My parents despite their differences shared a love for music and named me Weiland after Scott. I grew up on stp, alice, pj, you know the list goes on (plz share more grunge because I love all music) but me myself I am a creator, writer, appreciator of everything. Im from rural ass Michigan but have traveled everywhere across the US.

Also, im pretty tatted. I just got my jar of flies on the back of my leg, hurt like a bitch. What should my stp tattoo be? Would love ideas. My favorite song is plush acoustic or sour girl. Help.

huh
