Foos have always sucked and always made money.
Weezer's always sucked too though

I was simply asking the question in the only way it could be correctly answered.

Weezer have two classic albums, and great tracks strewn throughout their other 90's albums.

'Beverly Hills' is one of the laziest, corniest songs I've ever heard, though. How the fuck did that become a hit? It boggles the mind.

Anyway, I stopped paying attention after that.

Can we please just stop pretending that Weezer were ever any good?

Absolutely not. The Blue Album and Pinkerton are plenty good.

I'd put Maladroit in there too. A really solid hard rock album with some weirdness to it.

And The White Album is filled with really catchy, well-written songs.

The arc of Weezer's career bends decidedly toward shittiness, but there are some salvageable scraps in the heap

Never heard their White Album. I'll give it a spin.

I stopped listening after Pacific Daydream so I have no idea if anything else they made after 2016 is worthwhile

I think I'm with Lloyd Dobler - Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes may just be the greatest song ever.

I don’t enjoy cover songs that don’t bring something new to the song. What’s the point otherwise? I don’t care about hearing another person’s voice just singing a song I already know that’s just not as good of a rendition. It’s safe and boring and a waste of time. Just go perform at a Guitar Center while I listen to the original that is apparently good enough on its own to warrant someone trying to copy it.

What cover song prompted this?
