Thank You [PA] by Stone Temple Pilots

Pros: Songs, videos, bootlegs, live performances...all for the price of a CD
Cons: Zip. Zero. Zilch.

During the early 1990’s the rock scene was strange. There was a clear division between the “old” school hair metal rockers and the new crop of “grunge.” One band that stood out from the crowd wasn’t either—Stone Temple Pilots ...

Pros: a solid collection of the band's hits, and the DVD RAWKS
Cons: no covers, no Still Remains, Crackerman, or Atlanta, the new song sucks

With their 1992 debut release Core, Stone Temple Pilots were bashed by critics for being a "Pearl Jam-ripoff." While those comparisons were proven time and again to be erroneous by BOTH bands, it is ...

Pros: Biggest hits from one of the best bands of the 90's
Cons: The new song doesn't fit in, Weiland's heroin kept them from making more hits

My feelings for the Stone Temple Pilots are very mixed. On one hand, they're one of my top five favorite bands of all-time and I love their music. On the other hand, it's really hard to keep cheering on an idiot like Scott Weiland. What STP had was truly ...

Pros: Pulls from all albums, acoustic version of Plush, All In The Suit That You Wear
Cons: It's probably the last you'll hear of STP

Okay, admit it... there isn't one person out there reading this review that doesn't like AT LEAST one of Stone Temple Pilots' songs. There has to be one off of one of the albums that makes you bob your head or tap your feet when you here it. I know that ...

Pros: STP classics Plush, Vasoline, Big Empty, Creep, Sex Type Thing, Headbanger's Ball Plush video
Cons: lacks "Dead and Bloated" on the CD, mediocre DVD, poor bootleg video quality

Upon listening to/viewing the album in full, I feel semi-satisfied with this compilation of greatest hits (DVD included). Let me digress a bit. CD: Originality/Creativity (4 out of 5) This is an album of greatest hits, thus it is rich ...

Pros: Almost every music video, virtually every single, and the exclusive track rocks!
Cons: The bootlegs are a disappointment.

Too many times a band or artist releases a Greatest Hits album, and you look at the track listing, and you wonder why half the songs are on there. Most of the time, the songs aren't all hits. That's not so with "Thank You." Stone Temple Pilots have ...

Pros: every song is a winner.
Cons: it would have been nice to see a b-side or non-album track

you can't. you just can't get a better set of hits from any other band in the 90's. every tune on here is a radio hit (even the new track, "all in the suit that you wear," is getting regular rotation on the local rock stations).
and for good reason, the pilots were one of the most important, influential bands of our generation. it's no wonder bands like staind and puddle of mudd try so hard to do lame impressions. follow the path of Scott Weiland's vocals as they develop from gutteral growls to melodic sweetness. he may well be the closest thing we have to Jim Morrison.
of course, if you already know all of this, you probably already own all of this music. aside from the afformentioned new track and an acoustic version of "plush," everything else here can be found on the Pilots' other discs, and if you like these tunes, you'll probably enjoy the rest of those albums, especially "purple," which is absolutely flawless. but if you're a young fan or can only afford one cd, this is a great sample of what the radio deemed the best of the Stone Temple Pilots. enjoy.

Pros: Great songs. High overall satisfaction.
Cons: Sometimes the price can be a little high.

This is the best C.D. ever. By Stone Temple Pilots that is. There is an assortment of all of their best songs packed onto this one C.D. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Stone Temple Pilots themselves or the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
