Quintus 5,399 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 My biggest surprise album wise this year has probably been the return of Simply Red, who it turns out have still very much got it where cool lounge music is concerned. https://youtu.be/hQONx7qUq_shttps://youtu.be/tx2uADhceDUIt's fair to say I didn't think too much of their latest sound at first, but the tracks settled into my memory rather comfortably over the last few weeks and now I find them groovy.

nightscape94 965 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have only ever heard the one song,"Holding Back the Years". Never thought to look further into their music but maybe I'll give them a shot at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,387 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 All I can remember about Stone Temple Pilots is thinking early on that Weiland's vocals were a complete rip-off of Eddie Vedder's from Pearl Jam.

Jay 37,456 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yea, the vocals are different but the music is too.The fourth album sounds like them trying to fit into the generic alt-rock sound of the late 90s; It doesn't have a lot of STP uniqueness.The fifth album I think is vastly underrated. Everyone has shit on it forever since "Days of the Week" hit the radio, but its not a terrible album and they actually returned to their earlier sound in a lot of places. Decent enough way to end their original career, especially with "Thank You" as a capper ("All In The Suit That You Wear" is a classic STP jam).I don't remember a thing about their reunion album. Velvet Revolver and Army Of Anyone were much better projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Frey (Guitarist/vocalist of The Eagles) Found out later that night sort of by accident. I was at a hockey game and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" came on. They generally don't play music like that at hockey game, but I couldn't exactly remember who sang it, so I leaned over to my Dad and asked "Is this Jackson Browne?". After he corrected me, the guy sitting right next to us said "Didn't he just die?" I couldn't believe yet another popular musician passed away.
