Weezer is an American alternative rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1992. The band now consists of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums, backing vocals), Brian Bell (guitar, backing vocals, keyboards) and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals, keyboards).
As of August 2010, Weezer has released 7 albums: Weezer/The Blue Album (1994), Pinkerton (1996), Weezer/The Green Album (2001), Maladroit (2002), Make Believe (2005), Weezer/The Red Album (2008) and Raditude (2009). Their upcoming eighth studio album, Hurley, will be released on September 14, 2010.
Besides Weezer, the members have done other solo work as well. Lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo released 2 demo-complication albums entitled Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo and Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. Brian Bell has collaborated with Space Twins and The Relationship (Bell's solo project), Patrick Wilson was in The Special Goodness, and former bassist Matt Sharp was in The Rentals as well as performing alone under his own name.
Below are my favourite Weezer tracks. Not only the songs are good, the music videos are as equally quirky.
"Buddy Holly", Weezer/The Blue Album (1994)
"Island in the Sun", Weezer, The Green Album (2001)
"Pork and Beans", Weezer/The Red Album (2008)
"(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", Raditude (2009)
"Memories", Hurley (2010)
Without a doubt, I'm in love with Weezer!
