Robert DeLeo of STP

Yes. Scott is an amazingly versatile vocalist. He uses a similar singing voice on "Sex Type Thing."
STP is one of the most underrated bands of the decade! I really dig everything about them, great bass, great vocals, I just hope Scott cleans up, and stays clean. STP had the opportunity to get huge, but because of his addiction, they only got real big. 
Yeah, I pretty much rehashed what someone else already said, but oh well.

How often do you hear them on the radio?
Now compare that to how often you hear much less talented bands on the radio.
How often do you hear or read about them? Is it praise?

I did a search for STP and then did a search for other bands, and I found less results for STP than I did for any of the other bands.
I think you get what Im saying.
They are all extreemely talented musicians which deserve alot more credit than they get.
Peace

most stations that play stp are new rock meaning they play new rock before they play the older rock and stp hasnt come out with new crap since awhile and shangri la dee da was in my opinion there worst album ever and i only liked one song on it and it wasnt the one they always used to play on the radio
Both of their newer albums, 4 and Shangriladida, were great albums is my opinion.
Neither got the amount of play it deserved, and even with the airplay it did get, they still did not get much recognition for it.
Its not that the newer material is better or worse, its just different. It should get more recognition as being different is not bad; if anything its a good thing.

Rob DeLeo writes a badass melodic line. Another underrated bassist that does the same is Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
