Weezer

I personally like Pinkerton more, I also have a passion for talking on threads from a decade ago.

that SNL skit with Weezer comes to mind. Happily this discussion has not descended to that.

First two. Now they look like a novelty act in the worst sense. Lioe the Monkees for aging alternative rock.

Their last album OK Human is not bad at all.

It took a couple of plays for me but I think it's just "OK" (pun not intended). The Teal Album was still better

Their cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the only thing I liked on Teal. White album was solid as well.

Pinkerton was their masterpiece in my opinion. However, I really do love the blue album. The blend of power, pop and grunge influences make it a timeless classic that still resonates with me today. I am going to see them live next month where they play the blue album in full. I think I am more excited to see their opening acts though...dinosaur jr. and flaming lips.

Yeah, I like Weezer too. And I have a cautionary tale involving Weezer that all music fans with minor children should read. Several years back, I had vouchers for free tickets at certain concerts that I received as part of the settlement of a class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster. One of the shows was a double bill of Weezer and Panic At The Disco in Nashville. My daughter--a teenager at the time but not quite old enough to be repulsed by the idea of attending shows with her dad--said we should travel to Nashville to see the show since I liked Weezer and she liked Panic At The Disco. The tickets were general admission at a huge venue. I declined, since I don't like huge shows in general and didn't really want to travel that far to see a show where we would be far from the stage. Now I wish I had said yes. I missed a chance for some real bonding time with my daughter.

If this story helps anyone with a similar situation with their kid(s), it will have been worth telling it.
