32. 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.
