I don't see what all the fuss is about Stone Temple Pilots, I've got two of their albums (Purple and Tiny Music) and they're decent but nothing special. Also I can't stand Pearl Jam, although I like Matt Cameron.
1.Queensryche....thats right

plenty of others but those are the tops
I suppose you could argue that their first 5 albums were fairly original simply due to the mixing of certain musical elements. Led Zeppelin style hard rock with plenty of riffing, along with a heavy doasage of glam rock, also at times their sound was very piano driven, again quite original for a group of their ilk. Also their was the inclusion of operatic overtones, along with their trademark multi-layered sound (Roy Thomas-Baker) They also added a certain amount of very British humour into their sound as well both lyrically and musically but this was only on certain songs, kind of like a British seaside rock sound. Add in Freddie Mercury`s powerful and emotional vocal delivery and you have the epic Queen sound. In fact what made them interesting at this time, was that both Brain May and Roger Taylor also sang as well.
After this though, came in the bland arena rock sound with choruses that everybody could wave their arms to and chant along with eg "We are the Champions" etc. Basically enough to put you off the group permantly.
By the 80`s the group were fairly devoid of ideas and even experimented with a 50`s rockerbilly to boost their flagging sound. Admittedly though, the group were still able to still produce successful but annoying pop singles that had you humming them for like weeks/months after hearing them. They had also become a complete self-Parody as well, especially with Freddie Mercury still running around or better said prancing around in his all-in-one-leotard, actually David Lee Roth was far more sexy to watch in his leotard at this time than Freddie was, David used to jump as opposed to prance.
5,000 original songs!!!!!!!! well nearer 5 albums worth really.
For Me
1.NIRVANA
2.Alice in Chains
3.Pearl Jam
4.Megadeth
5.The Cranberries
6.The Doors
7.Mother Love Bone
8.Iron Maiden
9.Judas Priest
10.Soundgarden
Still stuck in late 90's post-grunge then?
There is no way I could make such a list Stu.
strange list...you got 3 solo artists there, and I wouldn't call the 6 out of the 7 banRAB you picked rock banRAB...
The point is you called me a noob - so I don't have to answer anymore questions, I think we know who the real noob is
