yeah, Shangri La is really good. It took a long time to see it.

LV will get there, maybe in 10 years.

It took me a long time too, but when it finally revealed itself to me it was a game changer. It’s easily one of the 90s most under appreciated albums.

probably bc it came out in 2001, ya dingus

Ok, one of the eras most under appreciated albums.

PhatJ is apparently taking the same drugs that Rangi is on

No, he said he hasn’t given it a real chance. I’ve listened to No.4 hundreds of times. And it has some of STP’s absolute best songs. Glide and Atlanta are right up there with the best of STP. But No.4 is really uneven. It has those highs, but it it riddled with lesser songs and bad production. It’s still a solid album, but I think it clearly the weakest of the first 5.

I love the production and Glide is the weakest track (though there are no bad songs).

There are some terrible songs on #4. Same with Shangri La.

Purple is the only true top to bottom album

Purple
Tiny Music
Core
Shangri La
#4
STP

[LoathedVermin72]

Outside of the worthless non-songs "Wet My Bed" and "Press Play", I'm not sure there's a bad track on the first four albums. There are some real pieces of shit on Shangri, though.

10/1/16:

I've finished listening through all the albums.

New rankings:

01. Shangri-La Dee Da
02. Purple
03. Tiny Music... Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop
04. Core
05. No. 4
06. Stone Tomple Pilots

Time to figure out my top 20 songs!

Sure, sounds like fun. I feel confident in the top 5, everything after is my best estimate, but they would probably get shuffled around a little depending on the day.

Adhesive
No Way Out
Sex & Violence
Regeneration
Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart
Pretty Penny
Too Cool Queenie
Long Way Home
Down
Big Bang Baby
Sour Girl
Art School Girl
Unglued
Big Empty
Days of the Week
Coma
Transmission From a Lonely Room
Bi-Polar Bear
Vaseline
Kitchenware & Candybars

That list is still wrong

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[Rangi Guy]

First up SilverGun Superman is nowhere to be seen. That should easily be a top 5 contender

Wouldn’t make my top 20 either

[bada]

The first 5 are all great guys.

[LoathedVermin72]

First four*

[Birds in Hell]

They each have a handful of good songs and a bunch of duds.

[bodysnatcher]

i haven't listened to STP enough in my life (other than No. 4) to feel in any way confident about making a Top 20 list

[i got bugs]

Just listened to SL yesterday.. turns out it's a really good album

[LetMeSleep]

Shangri-La is a damn good album. Probably third best of theirs.

[PHATJ]

This was my STP top 20 that I posted back in January 2016

01. Silvergun Superman
02. Still Remains
03. Interstate Love Song
04. Plush
05. Adhesive
06. Wonderful
07. Glide
08. Atlanta
09. Hello It's Late
10. Coma
11. Vasoline
12. Ride the Cliche
13. Trippin' On a Hole In a Paper Heart
14. Dumb Love
15. Wicked Garden
16. Lady Picture Show
17. Regeneration
18. Down
19. Bi-Polar Bear
20. Transmissions From a Lonely Room

yeah yours is super different

There’s only a few songs on your list that I’m not into. I generally love STP. They might be my third favorite band of all time.

Actually there’s only two songs on your list that I don’t really like.
