10 Most Underrated Rock Albums Of The '90s

10. Tiny Music - Stone Temple Pilots

Out of all the great grunge bands to come out of the late '90s, it always felt a little bit strange to like Stone Temple Pilots. They weren't as angsty as Nirvana and were in serious danger of being Pearl Jam clones by the time their first record came out. They did have an eccentric side though, and Tiny Music let out all of their weirdness onto one album.

Since this was their first time back in the studio after their smash Purple, Tiny Music feels like Scott Weiland is really coming into his own as a frontman. Across this record, there are subtle hints of other genres like jazz sprinkled into the mix, along with some glam rock on Big Bang Baby, which is a surprisingly good look on the band that was known for stuff like Interstate Love Song.

Considering that grunge was starting to be on its way out at this point, this showed that STP were going to be a band that could outlive just the genre label and be something worth paying attention to. Although the rest of their career was bound to fall apart due to Weiland's drug problems, there was at least some hope for something epic on the horizon, right?
