i'll second (or third) STP's albums, especially Shangri-La-Dee-Da. That album got essentially no recognition, but I think it's their strongest release apart from Purple and Core. Plus, STP's one of my favorite bands.
Opiate and Undertow are good choices, and I'll throw in System of a Down's self-titled album. |

I didn't really like STP's Core. It was a grunge album from a non-grunge band. I think the best overlooked STP album (although it's not technically an STP album) is Scott Weiland's Solo Album 12 Bar Blues . Compare it to the rest of the band's miserable Talkshow project, and it shows you who the real talent in that band is.

Maybe BulletBob.
I though Ten was an excellent album. I couldn't stand vs. or vitalogy, and completely gave up after that. They definitely seemed to suffer from the spend 10 years on your debut, and then have to follow that up in 2 years syndrome. I was just starting college at the time so there was so much new music opening up to me that I didn't have time for one trick ponies. Oh and STP is that Johnny-come lately grunge band I was bitching about in some other thread. |

Wow, what a tough choice. Some good ones already mentioned are BNL's "Gordon", R.E.M.'s "Murmur", Beatles' "Revolver". I am a huge fan of Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and while I know it gets rave critical reviews, the only stuff you ever seem to hear is the early surfer stuff. As far as a more recent example, Counting Crows' most recent, "Hard Candy" is doing o.k., but I think it is amazing.

EASY.
Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" A darkly brilliant follow-up to "The Wall" and Roger Waters' last hurrah with the band.

My pick is "Grace Under Pressure" by Rush. It was a damn good album that got lost in the 80's pop scene and also suffered unfair comparison to "Moving Pictures"

Seems that when Weiland cleaned up, the music quality faded. My vote is for Pink Floyd's Animals. I really like those songs. How about Cake's first album, Motorcade of Generosity? edit... Duh. I missed Katyblu's post somehow.

STP - No. 4
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E. AND Fungus Amongus (by far their best albums although I love them all) and while they still play some of the songs on the radio, Offspring's Smash was an awesome album that everyone forgot once offspring did pretty fly for a white guy shit

the deleo brothers and kretz write essentially everything for STP (weiland handles vocal melodies and lyrics... he only wrote one song himself - tumble in the rough). weiland's a good singer, but i'll take the others' songwriting and instrumental skills (especially rob's bass playing) over weiland's voice anyday. |
