>But Scott was considered to be just be aping Vedder
Critcis and magazines were idiots
Both Vedder and Weiland were inspired by Jim Morrison, especially Weiland in those years, Bowie little later on.
Fact is they were probably hated a little because they were cool musicians and more polite california boys who wanted to ride the grunge wave kind of by playing hard heavy riffs and shit, but Dean DeLeo was into a lot more than just zeppelin or sabbath i guess.

Charles Harris
it's really surprising how people still don't know and talk shit about this band
Justin Evans
didn't know how good they had it back in 91
Leo Morgan
their best album
Joshua Long
Because they were from California. It's that simple.
>STP
>masculine
Sex Type Thing was a fairly blatant satire which the critics deliberately misinterepreted because it gave them another reason to shit on the band.
Nicholas Nguyen
because no one ever listened
Jackson Ortiz
This album is great
The singles (Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart, Lady Picture Show) are some of STP’s best, and then there are deeper cuts like Adhesive that show a lot of depth
Brody Williams
Critics always get it wrong and parrot each other
Isaiah Nelson
it wasn't only critics anyway
