That same year, the band was also inducted to the Hollywood Rock Walk. In November 1991, the band appeared on The Simpsons episode ” Flaming Moe’s ” and released a box set titled Pandora’s Box . In coordination with the release of Pandora’s Box , the band’s 1975 hit “Sweet Emotion” was re-mixed and re-released as a single, and a music video was created to promote the single.
