Weezer Appreciation Post

Though it doesn't always work as well as it could (the moments where they do are genius, see "Buddy Holly"), Weezer has to be the best thing to come out of the college rock playlist....or maybe it's just the heavy rotation of their stuff on this morning's Ipod shuffle.

Any of you have a fondness for nerd rock?

I love Weezer. Although I kinda stopped listening with "Maladroit".

"Pinkerton" is one of the best albums of the 90's.

I think it's more like an indefinite leave.

I have both Blue Album and Pinkerton. Wonderful collections of songs. The closer, "Butterfly", on the latter, nearly moved me to tears. cry

The only post-Pinkerton song I've heard is "Beverly Hills". God-awful. confused I have my sister's copy of Green Album but I'm a little wary of it.

Yeah, Beverly Hills is crap. disbelief It's from their last album. The Green Album is pretty cool, but it took me a while to like it actually. It's worth it for "Island in the Sun" though.

By the way, is blue album basically a GIVEN to folks on this thread?

It seems like a true `90s classic, but I'm so 90s that I need an outside opinion.
