Ep 284: Stone Temple Pilots "Purple" 1994

Before things got dark and sad, there was a time when STP was on top of the world.  Their second album quieted a lot of the critics who had perhaps written the band off as "Grunge" pretenders to the throne.  Perhaps we needed to be convinced as well.  Sure, they could grunge it up with the best of them but they also had places to go outside of those lazy corners of pop rockdom.  Come and have a listen to a record that makes it feel like it's always raining in San Diego.  We've been converted.  Hallelujah.
