iPod Song of the Day

For the second iPod song of the day, I decided to pick a song from one of my favorite bands that don't exist any longer, Stone Temple Pilots. Now, members of the band are still active in the music world, most notably Scott Weiland with former members of Guns N' Roses in Velvet Revolver, but it's not really the same in terms of either band.

Stone Temple Pilots released five albums along with an obligatory greatest hits disc, and the first three are three of my favorite albums of all time. They started out as a typical grunge band, but the evolved to incorporate elements of many different styles of music, from the Rolling Stones to glam infected David Bowie and Roxy Music. Their last two proper albums, while okay, aren't anywhere near as good as the first three.

Today's track comes from their first album Core and is entitled "Creep." It's a really good acoustic ballad that's right up there with "Plush," which is also on this album.
