46. Stone Temple Pilots

When many people first heard Stone Temple Pilots, they were quick to label them as knock-offs of Nirvana and Pearl Jam.  This was an unfair tag, as there were many Grunge bands who came out around the same time, and this was a band who stuck around for an extended period of time and left behind a long lasting series of hits that are well remembered and cross varying facets of the rock and roll spectrum.


While they would not be out of place in the Rock and Roll of Fame it might be safe to state that they are not exactly front of mind either amongst the 90’s Rock bands who are eligible.

STP is everybit as deserving as Pearl Jam!
Longer career more appealing better singer and so on these Jan wenners fall in love with a few (critical bands) STP had a Grunge sound but were straight up hard rock & would have flourished in any era! Scott weiland was David Bowies son!

BewareVeiled Trickery is 100% right. I'm so sick of ignorant people who claim they ripped anyone off. STP had the grunge sound before grunge was even a thing. People need to get their facts straight. I can't think of another band more deserving than them to make it into the hall of fame, they helped shape an entire era of rock music. Unlike Pearl Jam, STP had more than one phenomenal album and Scott Weiland had a much greater range.

Ripped off Pearl Jam! LOL! Pearl Jam wasn't even a band yet by the time STP had their first demo tape (1989). Scott had his "Core" voice well before Eddie Vedder did.
