What is your favorite Blue Album song?
Weezer "Holiday" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-xD_wSSJ8U)
I think mine is "Holiday." Now hang with me.....I don't mean to say it is the best or that it should be considered "better" than others on the album. It is simply the song that I think best summarizes Weezer and the album for me. It is simultaneously naively hopeful and hopelessly romantic. It is catchy but also has a number of unexpected turns for a pop song conjuring up hair metal, doo wop, rounding, angsty emo pop and some beatles esque harmonies. It reeks of running out of school to a hot junky car with your buddies, rolling down the window, tossing your floppy hair out of your eyes and jamming the chucks to the floor and peeling out in reverse.
Make your case friends!

Probably the most popular one. "Buddy Holly" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4

Guys, we might be seeing Weezer perform in mhk in the very near future.....

Money is there #Aggieville125

Only in Dreams slightly edges out My Name is Jonas.
-
The World Has Turned And Left Me Here is very underrated imo.

really love that song
really love every song on that album tho
-
Damn can't believe it's been 20 years since 6th grade.
-
i'm on my 4th copy of this cd because i wore out 3 before it and i haven't even listened to a cd in years :eek:
-
the sweater song is a fun sing a long.
-
"Say it Ain't So" is probably my favorite, but "Undone (The Sweater Song)" is a very very close second. "Buddy Holly" is solid. Really, the whole album is solid as hell and very enjoyable.
-
Did you guys now that Rivers Cuomo (nephew of Mario by the way) is turning 60 next month! 60!
-

This is my favorite.

In the garage.

Chingon is trying to sell you guys a vacuum cleaner, don't listen to him
-
They are all great, but I'd go with My Name is Jonas.
20 years, man, eff.
-
Yeah Holiday is great. Best first 7 seconds of any song. I could listen to the first 7 seconds over and over again for maybe 3 minutes in a row.

Great point.
-
"Undone" was the one that caught my attention, but "The world has turned" probably edges the rest out. But it's so close to call probably the album that sparked my interest in music (that or Green Day's Dookie, same year) came out when i was in 6th grade
-
Man, I don't think I can pick one, just a great album.
-
I've always had a special place in my heart for "My Name Is Jonas". But you could argue that any song on that album is the best.
-

I've got Ace Frehley, I've got Peter Criss.
going to see Weezer in vegas in august!

Oh man. I'm gonna live in this thread for the next few days.
KK. Don't you dare feel like you have to justify Holiday as your fave. Don't you dare. It's fantastic.
To me, a more interesting question to me is, "Which one do you skip over to get to all the other ones?" Actually it's not that interesting, because everybody's gonna say No One Else.

you don't skip any song on that album, moron
-
In the Garage is my #1 jam on that album, but every track is great, even No One Else.
lil CF3 pretty much made it through middle school because of the blue album.
-
Well yeah No One Else is still better than like 99% of other songs you dummy dork stores. But nobody's gonna say it's their favorite or that it's on par with, say, Only in Dreams. Nobody. :don'tcare:
-
I could pick one now, listen to the album, and pick a completely different one this evening. Such a good album. In fact, I am going to test this theory.
Right now: Undone

Yes this. Sometimes skip world has turned as well.

Surf one is the only song I can't instantly think of how it goes.

Surf Wax was at one point my fav song on the album. I love the way it ends so hard and then smooth sailing right into Say It Ain't So.
IF I skip (i don't) its Undone.

Only In Dreams is the most overrated "underrated song" of all time.

No, it means everyone says it's the most underrated song of all time and it's really not that good. It's a good song, no doubt, but it's about middle of the pack in comparison to the rest of the blue album.

Sorry dudes, facts is facts.

People who are interested in the construction of songs! What do Surf Wax America and Holiday have in common structurally? Show me what you know, let's geek out 2gether.
:D
-
if the music is too loud, turn it down for what
-
also yeah "the world has turned and left me here" has really grown on me. when i was younger I jammed to The Sweater Song and vibed to "Only In Dreams" but these days the opening drum kick in "the world has turned" definitely gets me

They each have a part in the middle that goes sort of soft and slow and is different than the rest of the song and then it picks back up again!
Boom.

Let's go on a spirit journey to visit Moscow, Idaho and take in a Vandals game with the Blue Album and LaGF on repeat.

6. Brian Bell doesn’t actually play a note of guitar on the Blue Album.
Despite being credited as guitarist in the Blue Album’s liner notes, Bell’s only real contributions to the album were his re-recorded versions of Jason Cropper’s backing vocals. It was decided there wasn’t enough time for Bell to lay down guitar tracks, so as the legend goes, Cuomo flawlessly laid down all of Cropper’s parts in one all-day marathon session. Bell’s recorded debut with Weezer came on the single to “Undone” the following summer, as he played guitar on fan-favorite B-sides “Susanne” and “Mykel & Carli.”

Honestly, though. Man. What on Earth happened to Weezer? :frown:

Ignoring this, to share a great Matt Sharp quote:
"The one thing that is really consistent with me being on the road is that people come up to me and say, 'By the way, the last two Weezer records really sucked,' and they're always saying it to get in good with me. And I haven't heard them. But if they were bad, they'd probably be just as bad if I was there."
TBT Memzy/Fanning brag: 6th-grade WSBs went to Streetside at 91st and Metcalf to get the Blue album as soon as he heard "Undone" on 105.9 the Lazer for the first time. They didn't have it, and staff hadn't heard of it, but they ordered it on cassette for me. Still have it.

Green album had island in the sun. that's a really good song. i mostly like it because of the movie out cold.

Somebody told me that Beverly Hills was Weezer's most successful single. Is that true?

Scary as it is, it wouldn't shock me. (looked it up, certified RIAA Platinum, Buddy Holly only went gold) That's assuming the certification has anything to do with "successful"
