I never thought Weezer was THAT amazing to begin with! I owned the original Weezer album back in the day (mainly because all my friends told me how great they were) and I saw them in concert in (I think it wAS) 1995. To me, they were making tuneful, catchy, competent pop-rock in my mind. I wasn't blown away by them.<br /><br />Although, to be honest, I think they have gone from "relatively innocuous" and "occassionally pleasant" to almost downright obnoxious and difficult to stomach... so in a way, I guess that IS saying they're not as good as they once were... -G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014084.post-4572633879674149062011-01-03T09:50:24.853-06:002011-01-03T09:50:24.853-06:00I had that same thought about Matt Sharpe; I just ...I had that same thought about Matt Sharpe; I just wasn't sure where to fit it in.

That it was the combination of Cuomo and Sharp that made it work?<br />After that, they are a singles band at best. Nothing is worse that the Red Album in their catalog. While most people hate Make Believe I believe it has some of their catchiest songs. I even bought Hurley and didn't mind it in the least, although, that one song, "Where's my Sex" is atrocious. <br />Good call on the Blue album. And where's you best of the year that I have come to look so forward to? Without you I never would have met Elbow.Allen Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572137416801958769noreply@blogger.com
