Los Angeles, United States (1992 – present)
Weezer is an American alternative rock band. Formed in 1992, they have released eight full length albums, six EPs, and a DVD. Their latest album, Hurley, was released on September 14th, 2010. They have sold over 9 million records in the United States to date.
Weezer formed in Los Angeles, California by Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp, and Jason Cropper, who was later replaced by Brian Bell. Five weeks after forming, they had their first gig, opening for Dogstar at Raji’s Bar and Ribshack on Hollywood Boulevard. Weezer began playing clubs to small audiences around L.A. and recording home-demos. Soon the band began to receive attention from various A&R reps, and were signed on June 26, 1993 by Todd Sullivan, an A&R rep from Geffen Records. The band was signed onto the DGC label (which later became Interscope).
Creating “The Blue Album” (1993-1994)
The self-titled debut, Weezer, commonly referred to as The Blue Album, was released May 10, 1994. “Undone - The Sweater Song”, “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So” were released as singles. The album was produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. During the recording of the Blue Album, Jason Cropper left the band to take care of his future wife, who was pregnant with their first child. Jason was replaced by Brian Bell, a then bassist from a band called Carnival Art.

They have so many people who hate them because so many people started listening to them after Pinkerton and not including. Therefore to them Weezer seem like a bunch of guys making incredibly mediocre music but somehow manage to have a huge fanbase.

Weezer has so many haters, I don't get it. Even Raditude was great!!! idlewoodarian: Those looking for similar artists might want to try Sloan, first try the A Sides comp, Navy Blues or Double Cross. I'm not a jangle pop fan either. Less Byrds and more Who I say.

Can someone recommend me good power pop albums that sound like the first three Weezer albums? So I guess they must also have an alternative rock or even pop punk touch. I already know High/Low by Nada Surf, which I love, and I hate jangle pop (I've noticed many power pop albums are also considered jangle pop). Thanks!

@Force_of_Will that's probably to do with the variation of tags. If you add the scrobbles of Undone (The Sweater Song) and Undone -- The Sweater Song then it's pretty high up.

I find it curious Undone (The Sweater Song) isn't listed among their top 15 most scrobbled tracks when pretty much every other blue album song, most of which weren't released as singles, are up there. Oh last.fm users! You saucy little minxes.

Six Hits counts, doesn't it? But don't worry, they'll cave as soon as they get the proper rights from Geffen.
