Scott Weiland's Kids Curate Exclusive iHeartRadio Playlist For His Birthday

Friday, October 27th marks what would have been Stone Temple Pilots frontman and grunge icon Scott Weiland's 50th birthday. For iHeartRadio's All Access Weekend, Weiland's children Noah and Lucy curated an exclusive playlist in honor of their late father. 

Listen to "Songs That Remind Me Of My Dad" here. 

Noah and Lucy gave us a track-by-track breakdown, explaining why they chose each song and what they meant to their late father. 

1. "Island In The Sun" by Weezer 

"I wanted to sing this song for my 5th-grade talent show. It reminds me of making my dad watch me practice it over and over again. I ended up doing another song when I realized that Weezer wasn’t actually going to back me up." - Lucy

2. "Cinnamon" by Stone Temple Pilots 

"This is my all-time favorite STP song. When he gave me my own copy of the demo version he told me that it was about my mom." - Lucy

3. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Scott Weiland

"We are so lucky to still have him with us on Christmas morning. This song feels almost like he’s talking to us." -Noah & Lucy

4. "Too Cool Queenie" By Stone Temple Pilots

"I can’t say why exactly, but this is one of my favorite songs, and it's completely underrated." - Noah

5. "Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds" by The Beatles

"One of our dads biggest influences. He made a home video with all of our Christmases that began with a close-up of Lucy’s eyes and this song playing." - Noah & Lucy

6. "Dead & Bloated" by Stone Temple Pilots

"I started “touring” with my dad when I was only months old. As I got older he would sometimes bring me out for this song so that I could sing the first verse into the megaphone." - Noah

7. "She Builds Quick Machines" by Velvet Revolver

"This song will always remind us of the making of that video. Nothing is cooler than thinking that your dad is a badass Clint Eastwood type of guy." - Noah & Lucy

8. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day

"This song is about Billie losing his dad, and even before I lost my dad I always felt connected to it. " - Noah

9. "Trippin’ On a Hole in a Paper Heart" by Stone Temple Pilots

"This is another song that was often a final song of a show where Lucy and I would sometimes come out on stage. His vocals are incredibly strong and I always loved the emphasis that was put on lyrics like “let me be.”" - Noah

10. "Since You’ve Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

"Not a song that you would expect to find on a Scott Weiland playlist, but he was my dad, and every dad with a little girl when this song came out was probably familiar with it. He even took us to her concert and danced with me on his shoulders while I rocked out with my little fists in the air." - Lucy

11. "Kitchenware & Candybars" by Stone Temple Pilots

"Another one of his most powerful vocals and possibly his most emotional one." - Noah

12. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys

"His favorite song of all-time. You can hear the influence of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys in so much of his music." - Noah

13. "Black Again" by Stone Temple Pilots

"I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s one of the most “Scott Kline-Weiland” songs that he’s made. I think one reason is (that) his singing voice sounds identical to his talking voice." - Noah

14. "A Song For Sleeping" by Stone Temple Pilots

"If you haven’t already, just listen to it and you’ll know why." - Noah

15. "Revolution" by The Beatles

"Did we mention our dad loved The Beatles?" - Noah & Lucy
