50 Years, 50 Albums 1992: Stone Temple Pilots ‘Core’

Once again it comes as no surprise that the debut album from Stone Temple Pilots Core came in with the most votes in this week’s 50 Years, 50 Albums. Formed in San Diego in 1989, Scott Weiland, the DeLeo brothers and Eric Kretz set out to make an album reviving the album-oriented era where you just don’t listen to a song but to the whole album. That’s exactly what you get with Core, their best-selling album certified 8x Platinum in 2001. Not bad for a debut album. At a time when Grunge and Alternative ruled, their straight rock sound gave us five incredible singles from that album that have become Rock Radio staples, especially at this station, separating them from the band’s north of them. We are proud to welcome Stone Temple Pilot’s debut album Core into the WPLR Hall of Fame.
