I'll tell you when I first heard this song I wasn't really impressed. Then I listened to it a couple of more times and thought, this is going to be a hit. Sure enough, it was and the radio stations in Pittsburgh started to play it a lot.
Since this new song has come out there has been a resurgence of STP songs being played on all of the new stations and on the classic rock stations here. How funny is that? Plush just played on my classic rock station the other day. That song came out almost 20 years ago I can't believe it.
We are truly lucky to have these guys back together and blowing up with their music. This is by far their best album in a long time. Just the songs I have seen on youtube from their shows puts it in my top 3 from STP.
You can tell that a group is special when you can listen to their music and say this song will be a classic for my lifetime. The same goes for bands like the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Doors, Aerosmith, Jimmi Hendrix, etc.
I know I am leaving a bunch off the list I just mentioned but I have to believe STP is probably one of the best bands to come out in the last 20 years. Their music will last for another 20, 30, 40 years, hell maybe forever. It truly takes a band like STP to put out an unbelievable album to realize how bad or influenced some of these bands have become. It's all about the bottom line $$$ and not about making great music that you enjoy.
