Stone Temple Pilots knew from the start that “Plush” would be their breakout hit.
Bassist Robert DeLeo said as much in a recent interview: “Plush – we kinda knew that’s gonna be the song, and we kind of buried it on the record cause we knew what Atlantic was gonna do”.
DeLeo says having a hit song under their belts brought a lot of pressure to succeed – but also gave them more creative leeway on their followup album Purple.
