It allowed nerd-rock to remain in the middle ground of too cool and not cool enough, giving the band the freedom to do what they wanted, how they wanted-sweater or no. With borderline absurd and obtuse lyrics, the fact that “Undone” received so much radio play forever altered Weezer’s destiny. And what better way to become known than with a jam settled in the cushiony metaphor of an unraveling, cable-knit identity crisis. “Undone” was one of the first candle’s lit on Weezer’s birthday cake of mainstream success. “ Hash Pipe” added the perfect imperfection to give Green Album some creative diversity. On an album with singles that ranged from the queasily bright “Holiday in the Sun” to the power-stance ballad “ Don’t Let Go”. The ’90s underground anthem for turning off the lights and getting stoned, “Hash Pipe” was Weezer’s foray into a moodier sound. “Tired of Sex” was an appropriate door to swing open upon that new direction, no matter how brief its trajectory.Ī grimy bass line, a falsetto Cuomo, and a song about a loyal piece of paraphernalia-there’s not much more that needs to be said here. But after a little learning curve, it came to stand out as one of the more gritty collections of the nerd-rock quartet’s discography. The dream of the open ocean and the perfect wave manifest as Weezer’s America, and we couldn’t be happier for them-even if we’re sitting at a desk, listening and wistfully only imagining the water lapping at our own feet.Īfter their self-titled debut in 1994, Weezer initially seemed to hit a sophomore slump with their less articulate, more visceral Pinkerton two years later. From the apt track name to the jangling guitar melody to the refrain “ you take your car to work, I’ll take my board” the song is an anthem to any surfer looking to escape the grind. “Surf Wax America” celebrates Weezer’s L.A. “Photograph” is a track that puts honest, unencumbered pop on blast. Though their catalogue is massive, and diverse through and through, there is a earnestness that can’t be ignored. “Photograph” explores the “cheese” that is part of the heart and soul of Weezer’s sound. Take this to the top of your “Beverly Hills,” future disappointments. After years of disappointment, and before even more years of disappointment to come, the first wave of fans were allowed back into the living memory of rustic, bohemian guitar loops and simple, anthemic chord progressions. Though the song was released in 2008, it was like a window into Weezer’s iconic past. What makes “Pork and Beans” quintessential to the Best of Weezer is, simply, the ’90s sound that it clung to. Here they are, the 11 best songs of Weezer’s career, thus far: While wait for September 30 to roll around, holding up your W’s, why not indulge yourself in Weezer goodness?
