Core is the debut album by American hard rock band Stone Temple Pilots. It was released on September 29, 1992, by Atlantic Records. The album was certified 8x platinum by the RIAA, and is both STP's best-selling record and one of the best-selling debut albums of all time in the United States. Album sales were propelled by the hit singles "Plush", which won a Grammy Award in 1993, "Creep", "Sex Type Thing", and "Wicked Garden", all of which have since become modern and alternative rock radio staples. According to a 2007 interview with Rolling Stone, Core and Velvet Revolver's 2007 album Libertad, were the only albums singer Scott Weiland has written sober. Core was released on the same day as the Alice in Chains album Dirt, another important album from the grunge era.
