I'm on a bit of a Weezer kick the past few days after Karl posted a link to a concert from 96 in another thread.
I am backing Pinkerton.

Blue by a huge margin, not even sure Pinkerton is my 2nd favourite even if it is pretty great too.
Only in dreams is the best song ever, I wish they did more songs like that

You know, you're not wrong with Only In Dreams as that is a mega tune!
I just love Pinkerton though.
Hate to go off track here but what is your 2nd fav release?

Blue it isn't close, but that doesn't mean Pinkerton is a bad record, the only thing it has going against it is that it spawned all that emo shit.

I could never quite understand the appeal of this band to be honest

Still change my mind depending on what record I'm playing.
It would have been cool if they DIED after making it for sure! What I find incredible is how little people enjoy Green. To Weezer Die-hards it isn't even in upper echelons of their back catalogue. It is CLEARLY the 3rd best Weezer record, even if it is not a patch on the first two. Everything Will Be Alright & White certainly have their moments, but I'd listen to Green a 100 times over them tbh. Outside of those, the rest of the back catalogue is garbage to my ears.
I had a unfortunate Weezer phase last year, I told myself that there must be so much gold if I just listen to the entire back catalogue... I was wrong. I did make a MAKE BELIEVE (lol) album called THE YELLOW ALBUM. Which is basically the only Weezer songs I consider not shit that they've released since Green. Kinda gives me a 4th Weezer album to listen to.

There is a big debate regards to what that lyric is, "I got my eyes wide" it is apparently supposed to be. Sounds like arse wipe to me.

The Blue album has turned 30 years old today.
On May 10, 1994, DGC Records released “Weezer”, the self-titled debut album by Weezer. The story has been told and re-told many times, but the crux of it was that no one thought it would do very well, even though all the band and the band’s small inner circle felt they’d made a really good album. The assumption was that people would say “who?” and laugh at the audacity of a new band putting out a debut album on a major label, with no fan base, no single out, nothing.
And… that’s exactly what happened! For a while anyway. 90 copies sold the first week (just who were the 45 people we *didn’t* know who had bought it knowing nothing about the contents?), and a steady trickle after that, as we drove around in our van playing such illustrious gigs as opening up for a screening of “Rollerball”, playing an actual battle of the bands (and not winning), and playing for less than 0 paying customers (it’s unclear how we got to “-2 sold”, but that’s what the promoter said…)
Finally, after a few months, 107 The End in Seattle started playing “Undone”. Before that only a handful of college stations were even dabbling with the record. Things escalated quickly after that. KROQ Los Angeles added Undone, Undone got a video which MTV played, opening for Lush, lines of kids at the shows, switching from van to bus to keep up with the schedule, opening for Live, Buddy Holly video… and so on – and on, and on!
What else is there to say but thank you for the decades of love and support from all the fans, colleagues, friends and family?
