STP and Scott Weiland

A week or two ago I saw the video of Scott Weiland singing horribly at a shitty gig that was probably at a bowling alley. It compelled me to give STP a listen. I knew a couple of their radio hits, but was not entirely familiar with their work. These guys were fucking great though, especially the first two albums. Their live show's from the 90's, early 2000's look incredible as well.
How do you compare STP to the other big 90's bands (AIC, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.)?

They're always considered a step below all of those bands because they were basically a Seattle copycat act, but their stuff holds up really well. My one hesitancy to rank STP that highly as a great band is Weiland was a totally different vocalist for Velvet Revolver than he was for STP, which lends credence to the idea that STP was just mimicking the Seattle grunge sound. Still, I enjoy their stuff.
Here's how often I listen to those bands these days:
Alice
Nirvana
STP
Soundgarden
PJ

PJ too high.

And here we fucking go again with someone putting a mediocre band above Soundgarden. I'd expect that from an actual duck, but from you @dncfredo?

Poont of clarification, I don't think STP was a better band that Soundgarden, I just find their stuff more listenable 20+ years later. Soundgarden was definitely more innovative/important/talented.GrundleStiltzkin said:And here we fucking go again with someone putting a mediocre band above Soundgarden.

I didn't dislike STP growing up, but I found many of the other bands a far better listen then as well as now.
For whatever reason, I've always liked this song from that era:

And I get that Clone Temple Pirates (loloolalaaollozzzz) sound better now farther detached from what they were parroting.
Am I the only one that heard "STP" always in Richard Petty's voice?

Don't forget Korn. And AIC is 1, tool is 2. Soundgarden/STP/PJ are about equal, all had one good album.
