10 Rock Albums That Were Ruined By One Song

10. My Second Album - Stone Temple Pilots

At the beginning of grunge, Stone Temple Pilots seemed to signify everything wrong with what the genre had to offer. Grunge had started as a pure scene in the Seattle underground, and now we had people like Scott Weiland coming from San Diego sounding like a MTV-ified version of Eddie Vedder. Purple tended to shut up most of the haters real quick though...with the exception of that one hidden track.

While nothing has really changed from their first album Core, the songs on here have a much more defined identity than just grunge, with tracks like Interstate Love Song celebrating the lifestyle of a band taking to the road. The band had certainly found their swagger, but Kitchenware and Candybars gets pulled back down to Earth so hard towards the end of the album. Leaving things off on a Led Zeppelin like blues jam to close out everything, you have about a minute to take in the entire thing before lounge music enters the picture, as one of their friends takes the mic and sings an entire song about what it means to have a second album in your catalog.

The charm of this song is certainly appealing for a few seconds, but it definitely starts to wear out its welcome by the end, where the parody starts to wear thin and you just wait for it to be over. This one is far from the worst thing in the world (or the worst thing by STP for that matter), but it just stings because we could have potentially had one more kickass song in that spot instead.
