Although the name of the group was very familiar, I had no idea what songs they did, not liking much of anything since the 80s. So I just gave a listen. As expected, I didn’t really care for it. To me, they sounded very similar to Hooty and the Blowfish, who’s music I could also live without. Still, it’s sad to hear he’s died, and so young.
When they came out, the comparison was to Pearl Jam. Very much Seattle-sound, grunge.
Probably best to stick to other topics you have more understanding of, STP had a very signature sound right up there with AIC, Sound Garden, Nirvana etc...epic bands that sound nothing like HATB.
Hootie and the Blowfish?!
???????
STP was a good band for a short period, then he went into rehab and poof no more STP.

I just listened again and now realize their style of music is not very much like Hootie and the Blowfish’s, who I’m not much familiar with either. What I should have said, knowing what I know now, is that the lead singer’s voice, IMO, sounds a little like the lead singer’s of HATBF, at least on this song...
