Core Memories: Stone Temple Pilots and the Best Original Band Names
About this episode
The episode revisits Stone Temple Pilots' debut album 'Core' and discusses its impact on the grunge era while also drafting the best original band names in music history.
This week we're turning the clock back to 1992 to revisit Core , the breakout debut album from Stone Temple Pilots. From "Plush" and "Creep" to "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden," we discuss the album's biggest songs, its place in the grunge era, and whether it deserves more credit as one of the defining rock records of the decade. Along the way, we dig into the history of the band, the criticism they faced during their rise, and how Core has held up more than 30 years later. Was STP unfairly dismissed by critics? Then it's draft time as we select the best original band names in music history. From legendary classics to creative oddities, we build our ultimate rosters of bands whose names were memorable before we ever heard a single note of their music.
