Since the moment they appeared on the scene in the early 1990's, Stone Temple Pilots dominated the decade from start to finish, racking up 15 singles on the Billboard Top Ten, winning a "Best Hard Rock Performance" Grammy Award in 1994 for “Plush,” and having their five albums sell more than 35 million copies worldwide.

Of all their peers, Stone Temple Pilots alone have sustained commercial success, earning greater critical acclaim with each release, building a body of work that remains popular. Their enduring acclaim has only highlighted the absence of the band, who quietly went their separate ways after the turn-of the millennium release of Shangri-La Dee Da.
