I agreed with everything drummerman said about weeper until he started talking about cronies and eating people for breakfast now things are just insane In other news, Weezer is pretty bad At least they once were good... Blue: A- Pink: A- Green: C+ Maladroit: C Make Believe: D+ Red: C+ Raditude: F Hurley: C+ I can agree with that. Their 90s material is good and I really like Hash Pipe but after that is just some if the worst rock music I've heard.

Blue: A- Pink: A- Green: C+ Maladroit: C Make Believe: D+ Red: C+ Raditude: F Hurley: C+ I personally never understood the Raditude hate. Yes, it has some goofy songs on it coming from guys in their 40's, but the melodies and energy on that album are great. I don't see how any Weezer fan couldn't love "If You're Wondering If I Want You To", "I Don't Want To Let You Go", and "The Prettiest Girl In The Whole Wide World". Even the songs with goofy lyrics like "I'm Your Daddy", "Trippin Down The Freeway", and "Let It All Hang Out" are little fireballs of energy with great hooks. If anything, I'd say Red is their worst album. Very uneven and incoherent if you ask me. There's some great songs on it but it has a few of their worst songs ever on it, too (Cold Dark World, Thought I Knew, and Automatic? Bleck). "The Angel and The One" is a good song, but as far as Weezer album enders, I'd have to say it's my least favorite, and that's coming from a huge fan.

Only you think of them as failures. I think of the first as a new idea (who cares if they're rocking Snuggies, they're trying something new), the second as a collaboration (odd, but whatever), and the third as an album cover/pretty decent album. You try too hard to hate their new stuff. If you hate it, fine, but don't bring news about them here and say how bad you think they've gotten, and hope that they fail. It's extremely irritating to see. Or, if that's all you plan on doing, you can piss the f**k right off.

While their earlier stuff I feel was better than anything over the last 5-10 years, I don't think it's anywhere as huge of a step down as most of you are stating. The only single of theirs I was never too fond of was "Beverly Hills."

Say It Ain't So is far and above my favorite Weezer song. I like a bunch of other scattered tracks but haven't really listened to the newer stuff enough to be able to discount it like some others have here. Also Beverly Hills was one of the first songs I looked up the lyrics for when I was in fifth grade. Still have a bit of a soft spot for that song, and consequently don't despise it like a good chunk of people do.

ROUND 1:
1 "Pork And Beans" 16 "I'm Your Daddy"
8 "Undone-The Sweater Song" 9 "Back To The Shack"
4 "Hash Pipe" 13 "Island In The Sun"
5 "Buddy Holly" 12 "We Are All On Drugs"
3 "Beverly Hills" 14 "Keep Fishin'"
6 "I Want You To" 11 "Dope Nose"
7 "Troublemaker" 10 "Say It Ain't So"
2 "Perfect Situation" 15 "Photograph"

Cool!! A couple were very hard choices, but the rest were fairly easy.
1 "Pork And Beans" 16 "I'm Your Daddy"
8 "Undone-The Sweater Song" 9 "Back To The Shack" "Undone - Sweater Song" was there first single and will always hold special place in my heart. "Back To The Shack is a return to Form that was missing from last two albums. Both Ric Ocasek productions makes it even tougher, but I predict BTTS will already be one of my top Weezer songs ever.
4 "Hash Pipe" 13 "Island In The Sun" Another hard one. Both different sound andalso from an Epic Green album. Also Ocasek prod. i chose Hashpipe in the end from a diff of A to A-.
5 "Buddy Holly" 12 "We Are All On Drugs" two more great songs, But Buddy Holly is my favourite ever from the band. Both song and vid are epic!!!
3 "Beverly Hills" 14 "Keep Fishin'" Hard one. Beverly Hills is arguably thier biggest single. I give both A+, but Keep Fishin' really showed me what the band can do on a self produced album. The vid was really original too.
6 "I Want You To" 11 "Dope Nose" same as above. the band produced a great album.
7 "Troublemaker" 10 "Say It Ain't So" No contest here. This is a Alternative radio classic. Troublemaker isn't bad, but doesn't hold a candel to "Say It Ain't So", one of my favs.
2 "Perfect Situation" 15 "Photograph" Perfect Situation had that "Say It Ain't So" vibe to it. I remeber liking "Photograph alot, but "Perfect Situation" was perfect!

I added my votes to the tourney. "Hash Pipe" escapes because of its higher seed.

4 "Hash Pipe" (4-4) 5 "Buddy Holly" (7-1)
