10 Flawless Rock Songs That Were Never Released On An Album

10. All In the Suit That You Wear - Stone Temple Pilots

When throwing together a song, it's pretty easy to skimp out when doing something for a movie soundtrack. Outside of the days of the Beatles and Prince who would soundtrack an entire movie, having just one song added to a glorified mixtape is usually reserved for the material that wasn't quite good enough to fit onto the mainline records. So when Stone Temple Pilots actually made a kickass tune for the Spider-Man soundtrack, how did it end up falling through the cracks?

Around the time that Sam Raimi's first superhero film was about to hit theaters, Stone Temple Pilots made the song All in the Suit That You Wear for the film, complete with all of the greatest elements of prime STP material. While there's no real solo or anything, the riffs behind everything are sturdy as hell and Scott Weiland's voice is still in rare form, with the high pitched style of singing and screaming that he was known for doing in the days of Tiny Music.

At the 11th hour though, the producers decided to go in a bit of a different direction for Spidey's debut, instead going with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger to write the song Hero as the main soundtrack single. Managing to hold onto the rights to the song, STP eventually included the song as a bonus track to one of their greatest hits albums. While this was still the era of butt rock, just imagine what the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man would have been like with this slice of kickass playing over the end credits.
