#184 P2 – Ranking The Weezer Discography: Favourite Tracks, Album Variation & Sound Changes With Tony Farina

Listen on

Episode notes

Tony returns to GCC for the second half of a 2 hour-long discussion on the rock band everyone knows, but few know well; Weezer!

This week is part 2 where Mike & Tony spend the majority of the conversation continuing their Weezer album rankings (excluding the Teal covers album); discussing the many sound changes of the band & some highlights and then towards the end they then give their top 5 Weezer tracks! This conversation is for anyone who likes music; whether you’ve barely heard of Weezer or are a superfan, this is a great listen!

In case you missed part 1, Mike & Tony talk about when they first heard Weezer and why they decided to go through their entire discography, plus they give some bio information on the band, talk about why the band are popular, including why so many “fans” don’t listen passed their second album (which relates to the SNL sketch linked below). Towards the end of part 1, Mike & Tony begin their ranking of Weezer’s albums!

Thanks to Spider-Dan, Dave Horrocks, Blake Byles & Max Byrne for their comments in part 1!
