Forget the behavior and drama with this band.....the music they create is powerful, melodic and solid!!  |

To think these guys get played here more than Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. A cryin' shame.

Have always enjoyed this song...especially when that chorus kicks in.

I didn't follow this group much when they were current but I've liked what I've heard played here at RP. This one isn't as good as some of the others but it's still good.

These guys were so amazing it was almost scary...they had a hell of a run there for a while...Core was like, HOLY COW, BATMAN, THIS STUFF IS DYNAMITE! and then this one, with its 12 Gracious Melodies, was part of daily life for a while, even on the other side of The Pacific, and there were a couple songs on From the Vatican Gift Shop that were good...and though their output declined after that, it still amazes me the power — and of course the memories — that jumps out whenever their solid classics get played. Great to hear on RP!

I know it really didn't fare well with the "classic" crowd, but being a gen-x'er... I dunno. I just like it.
Only members of the "classic" crowd that were so closed mnded they thought anything after - pick a year 1975, 1980, 1985, was crapped compared to the Beatles/Stones/Who/Zep/Floyd whatever. Guaranteed those folks don't listen to RP - too much here would freak them out. Us over 50 folks who really understand and care about the music embraced all the good stuff from the 90s like this, the OO's and the 10's as well. Rock on. |

I think they admitted that the riff for Plush was ripped off of Zeppelin. He heard one of their songs from inside the house while he was outside washing his car, so it sounded odd, but it gave him for an idea for a riff that became Plush... Maybe I'm just getting old, but I've beeen really digging these guys again lately. Of course, I like them pretty good the first time. This was one of my 'summer anthem albums' I played heavily the summer of '95 (along with Weezer's blue album, and Belly's Star) |

Well said!  Great song even if overplayed on the "regular" radio. |

Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long
To wait too long
These conversations kill
ahhh, good ole STP
