Weezer

Weezer's self-title debut album (a.k.a The Blue Album) was released in 1994 and contained the hits "Undone - The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So". Though the album was very successful (eventually going double-platinum), it wasn't taken very seriously, and Weezer became known as a geeky punk-pop band. Weezer's next album, Pinkerton, mainly the brain child of frontman Rivers Cuomo, was put forth as a much more serious concept album but received mixed reviews by the critics, though it is a favourite amongst fans. Perhaps it was just a bit too weird for radio. Weezer was out of action for a few years after this effort but returned with another self-titled album (a.k.a The Green Album), which, like the subsequent album after that, Maladroit, spanned only a half hour or so, but was surprisingly well received. To this day Weezer are still around and it is rumoured that some more releases are on the way.
