What is your favorite Blue Album song?



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!

Only in Dreams slightly edges out My Name is Jonas.

The World Has Turned And Left Me Here is very underrated imo.

"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.

They are all great, but I'd go with My Name is Jonas.

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.

"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

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.
