Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 21

where’s my sex came out the same decade tho

 

Nooooo "Happy Hour" is great shhhhhhh

 

I see all these song titles and truly don't know how any of them sound

 

You guys need to make a greatest hits playlist that has the like...15 best post-Maladroit songs for people like me who’ve listened to each album once or twice when they first came out and then never touched them again because they weren’t “as good as the blue album.” Ha. But for real. I’d be interested in that. Haha.

 

I honestly really like Get Right haha.

I think Beach Boys is kinda dumb *shrugs*

 

At the very least listen to White in full

 

this

 

I mean, I have. I guess I could bust it out again though.

 

blowin my stack

 

didn't realise we'd shifted the conversation to greatest songs of all time

 

“The Angel and the One” off Red has a legitimate claim as the best Weezer song. It’s the exact reason everyone still gets up for every Weezer record. Because they are still capable of absolute greatness.

Also listen to White, nothing as transcendent as “Angel” but their best late career record from front to back (LA Girlz, my personal favorite).

 

LA Girlz is so good

 

Here’s my ten favorite I think. No order, you will get pretty different answers on this I’m sure. Not too fond of Hurley, Ratitude and Make Believe at all so I have nothing to say about them...

The Angel and the One
Miss Sweeney
LA Girlz
(Girl We Got A) Good Thing
Endless Bummer
QB Blitz
Weekend Woman
Ain’t Got Nobody
Go Away
The Futurescope Trilogy

 

Thank God For Girls
Beach Boys
Miss Sweeney
High as a Kite
Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Haunt You Every Day
Happy Hour
The British Are Coming
LA Girlz
Perfect Situation
Run Away
Blowin' My Stack
This is Such a Pity
Futurescape Trilogy
The Angel And The One

 

Summer Elaine And Drunk Dori fucking rules.

 

yes it does. and "This is Such a Pity" is an underappreciated banger, glad to see it mentioned

 

But neither of you included “Put Me Back Together” which is one of the very few newer weezer songs I listen to on the regz. Haha.

 

Greatest Man
Angel
Sweeney
Thank God for Girls
Wind in Our Sails
Girl we got a good thing
Do you wanna get high
LA Girlz

genuinely can’t think of anymore I would recommend.

 

I didn't know people liked Thank God For Girls, it's literally the only tune on The White Album I don't like

 

Challenge Accepted:

1.) Perfect Situation
2.) The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
3.) Angel and the One
4.) If You're Wondering If I Want You To
5.) Ruling Me
6.) Eulogy of a Rock Band
7.) Lonely Girl
8.) Go Away
9.) Cleopatra
10.) California Kids
11.) Wind in Our Sail
12.) Thank God For Girls
13.) LA Girlz
14.) Beach Boys
15.) High As a Kite

 

If I had to do a top 15 post-Maladroit, it would be all EWBAITE and White lol. I'd squeeze King and High As A Kite on there. But both those albums are worth full listens and as bad as MB - Hurley is, each album has like at least two legit great songs

 

Is there another legacy band whose later career has as much variety of opinion as weezer? There’s so many songs folks love and im either like “wtf that song sucks” or “wtf i cant even remember that song”.

 

Green Day and Fall Out Boy

 

Do You Wanna Get High, The British are Coming and Eulogy for a Rock Band would definitely be in my top 15. Good tunes. Probably Sweet Mary and Perfect Situation to round it out. Maybe High as a Kite.

The good ones really are good.

 

I can’t speak to FOB but I feel you on Green Day.

But even with them, anecdotally speaking it doesn’t seem like folks stan shit like “Little Boy Named Train”, “Ashley”, “Younbloods” etc. People either dig the later years or don’t. And for for people who do like it, there’s a core of newer songs folks all tend to like; “Stay The Night”, “Stray Heart”, “Bang Bang”, “Graffitia” etc*


It seems like w Weezer there’s an extremity of attitudes about so many songs; one person thinks “Do You Wanna Get High” is top tier and another person totally hates it etc

On the other hand, this may be completely nonsense

*In thinking about this it just hit me that “Meet Me On The Roof” sounds an awful lot like nu weez.
