Weezer

Weezer

The nerds of rock n' roll.  Weezer has left a huge footprint in the industry with they're geeky appearances and their trendy music.  They've been featured on pop radio stations with "Beverly Hills," they've been given movie deals with the recent song "Memories," and they've owned the indie scene with their unique style.  These guys are different, but people love it.

From day one, Weezer's amazing sound has rocked the Indie world.  But what makes them so good?  The answer to this question is the relation between their music and their fans.  They're songs emmit crazy feelings and wishes that most listeners can relate to.  For instance, "Beverly Hills," one of their more popular songs talks about the wish of living a famous life in a great city.  It's basically the rockstar dream.  Now quickly close your eyes and imagine the average American.  They want money.  They want popularity.  They want recognition.  These ideas are found even in the high school system.  Weezer shows their listeners that it's ok to want these awesome things in life.  It may sound a little bit materialistic...but the music is great so we support it.

Another example of their music relating to listeners is "Memories," from the Jackass 3D soundtrack.  This song is all about the "good times," or the "old days."  Everyone in the world has memories that they would love to re-live.  Even if its a small one, the thought of that memory is amazing.  Weezer's song just makes that memory even better.  They play that song like they mean it.

Here are five of our favorite Weezer tunes:

1. Buddy Holly

2. Island in the Sun

3. Beverly Hills

4. If You're Wondering If I Want To, I Want To

5. Memories

So if you have wishes of fame, lost memories you miss, or just a love for great music, please go listen to Weezer.  We, the Indie Team, don't think we need to explain why they play good music.  You'll hear it when you listen.  We just want to reel you in with the bait of great taste.  These guys appeal to everyone, and hopefully you'll become the latest Weezer fan.  Do you have any personal relations to any of Weezer's songs?
