It all started with "Crackerman" for me. I had a few boots of VR doing it live--which is probably the only STP tune VR did very, very well on. As it turned out, there were two STP CDs in the basement somewhere (Core and Puprle). This was January 2008 so I took a listen and loved Core from the get go. Then I bought the rest, going into a No. 4 obsession before finally settling on Tiny Music...which I love endearingly. That album for me, is the essence of STP. Core got me into the band, but Tiny Music... made me understand and appreciate the band.
