![Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (1994) [Full Album]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nK1oBg3ArpI/0.jpg)
The band's early hard rock, grunge-reminiscent style of music found them immediate success in 1992 with the release of their debut album Core, which initially led critics to dismiss the band as "grunge imitators". Further releases from the band have shown a variety of influences, including psychedelic rock, bossa nova, and classic rock.
Core, certified 8x platinum by the RIAA, drove the band to popularity. STP went on to become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s, selling nearly 40 million records worldwide, including 17.5 million units in the United States, before their dissolution in 2003. STP reunited in 2008 and released their sixth studio album, Stone Temple Pilots, in 2010. They have a seventh studio album in the works. The band has had 16 top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, eight of which peaked at #1, and one #1 album for Purple in 1994. That same year, the band won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for the song "Plush" from the album Core. Stone Temple Pilots were also ranked #40 on VH1's The 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.
