The day Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots both released classic albums
September 29, 2022
30 years ago today, September 29, 1992, was a great day for grunge rock. Alice in Chains released their second album and what many would call their greatest album, Dirt, and Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album, Core.
I’ve always found AIC’s “Would?” to be one of the most emotionally affecting songs of the grunge era. I love the coda (the part that begins, “Am I wrong?”) … when they shift to the relative major key with a sense of absolute determination.
“Them Bones”:
“Down in a Hole”:
STP’s “Plush”:
“Creep” (not the “Creep” I was blogging about in my last post!)
