Listen on

Episode notes

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

In more detail, part 1 features Mike & Tony talking 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!

In part 2 (out next week, or available now on Patreon) they then spend the majority of the conversation continuing their Weezer album rankins (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!

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