Stone Temple Pilots - Core | The Hits, Hidden Gems, and One Flop

from The Worst of the Best Podcast · host Ryan Rebalkin

Hosts Ryan (Canada) and returning guest Drew (Florida) kick off a two-part deep dive into Stone Temple Pilots' iconic discography, starting with their explosive 1992 debut Core—a multiplatinum grunge-era powerhouse produced by Brendan O'Brien that bridged hair metal aggression with alternative rock hooks, featuring Scott Weiland's versatile vocals, the DeLeo brothers' riff-heavy guitars, and Eric Kretz's driving drums—while debating its misunderstood "grunge copycat" label, controversial lyrics, and crowning the "worst" original full-band track from the classic 12-song lineup.
