The Doors: Five to One (1968)

Jim Morrison experienced a meltdown while performing "Five to One" in Miami. He was arrested for inciting a riot and indecent exposure. STP frontman Scott Weiland said this song inspired him to go into rock n roll. Like Morrison, Weiland died young from drug abuse. In college, a friend put this on at his house parties at 12:55.

Stone Temple Pilots: Big Empty (1994)

“Big Empty” was once called the “perfect” example of “mainstream alienation.” If you want to know 90s rock, this is a good place to start. The song debuted on The Crow soundtrack before appearing on STP’s second album, Purple.  This song IS 1994.

Stone Temple Pilots: Sex Type Thing (1992)

The Stone Temple Pilots incorporated KISS’ “War Machine” and Led Zeppelin’s “In the Light” together to create an anti-rape song. Despite the song title and full blown testosterone, Weiland says the song is based on a real life incident in which a girl he dated was raped by three men after a party. The song created controversy for a time. Critics misunderstood the lyrics as misogynist leading to some protests.

Stone Temple Pilots: Vaseline (1994)

"Vasoline" was STP's second most successful single after "Interstate Love Song." The intro is a bass being run through a wah-wah peddle for effect. Weiland said the song was about feeling like an "insect under a magnifying glass."

Stone Temple Pilots: Sour Girl (2000)

The video for "Sour Girl" is just weird. Weiland became a Buffy fan and got Sarah Michelle Gellar to appear in the video, which also featured satanic teletubbies. Very strange!
