Album - 1994-1996, I select The Stone Temple Pilots - Purple.
Their sophomore album, Purple, sometimes also known and 12 Gracious Melodies, is filled with the band's effort to distance set their own path and shake the "second rate Pearl Jam" label that had been foisted on them after Core.
The first hit off the album, Big Empty, actually became a hit before the album was released, since it was also included on the soundtrack for "The Crow". All this did was to whet the appetite of the public, and the album debuted at #1.
The name of the album, Purple never appears on the album, other than as a chinese symbol on the cover.
As for myself, I heard this song played may times at my local pub, and discovered no many how many times I heard it I always enjoyed it, something that I can not say for very many albums. And even the hook laden hit "Interstate Love Song" is still a personal favourite, as are most of the tracks on the album. When I'm not sure what I want to listen to next, I am never disappointed by this album, and I have been listening to it for over a decade.
