So I’ve finished listening to all of Scott Weiland’s music through Apple Music streaming. I’ve listened to all STP albums, listened to all of his solo albums (even his Christmas album which was really good) and I also listened to the two Velvet Revolver albums. Ya know, everything he did outside of STP was really good but I think the best work he’s done out of STP were the two Velvet Revolver album, The Wildabouts “Blaster” album and Scott Weiland’s Christmas album, “The Most Wonderful Time Of the Year”.
I was really impressed with the Wildabouts “Blaster” album ’cause it’s a great rock album. You should check it out yourself. I also dug his Christmas album, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” ’cause it showed that Scott could sing all kinds of music and not just rock n’ roll. The Christmas album was a pretty ballsy album for him to do but I loved it a lot, though.
I really liked the Velvet Revolver as I thought “Libertad” and “Contraband” were both pretty tight albums.
It’s a shame that we lost Scott ’cause he was a rock genius. While he was most known as a rock frontman and singer, he wasn’t just that… he was a rock legend and icon. Whether you liked his music or not, I’m pretty sure everybody heard of that name, Scott Weiland. Everybody knew that name from somewhere.
So you have to ask yourself, is it now time to induct STP into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Not yet. They still have a few more years in order to be “eligible” ’cause their first record “Core” has been out for 23 years now. In order to make it in the Hall of Fame, your first album needs to be out for 25 years. STP still has two more years to go so in two more years, they’ll make it in, I’m sure. They’ll make it in the Hall of Fame in 2017.
It really is a bummer that Scott’s gone now ’cause I was hoping he’ll get his chance to reunite with STP and Velvet Revolver.
