anybody else think that all their best songs aren't on their albums, cuz all my favorites are like the bicycle song, funny face, rivers of avalon, n sikimikanico [sp], many more ... other than that though 1 hot min. is amazing

... and yea hump de bump and most of stadium is utterly horrible

They usually have 2-5 good songs per album.

Cant stand them now really.

Just really bland and awful.

yea i loved their stuff during the californication era, beautiful pieces of work. their latest stuff is still great, but stale compared to what they have done in the past

Yeah Stadium is meh.

Ya know, usually when bands change their style....it makes them sound pretty bad. But IMO, Californication and By The Way are by far their best albums....and 2 of the best pop albums you'll find. I agree with most that Stadium was mostly pretty weak though.

True dat.

ya, stadium should have been released as a single album with 12-17 tracks, trimming all the crap off. it would then rank very near to any of their others i think.

it does have some AWESOME songs... they just did too much and apparently theyd already cut a lot of songs from the album...

the biggest different i found between this album and the rest of their work is the drummer is more of an important part of the band. hes always fit the bands sound perfectly, but on stadium i think he joined the other 3 as a stand out musician and his parts became much more important to the music.

exactly. remove half the songs and it will be ALOT more listenable.

I like their older singles a lot, I should get some of those albums.

Not too fond of their modern work.

I was just thinking about this band a few minutes

I came to the conclusion that they have likeable singles and are casually unique.

I really hate RHCP. Their old stuff was terribly produced and weak. Their new stuff is radio friendly tripe.

radio friendly music is brilliant

One Hot Minute is one of my favourite albums.

Aaron is really good at disliking well-respected bands. You're the only person i've ever known with the balls to dislike The Smiths. Other than me.

You went a bit too far with Weezer, but it's all good.

I've never really seen what makes The Smiths so great. They have a couple of alright songs but on the whole they're pretty meh.

I don't like The Smiths because they write in the same dynamic for all their songs and think that whining is a valid vocal technique. Musically they're alright, but vocally they're kinda irritating and grating.

Weezer just write average music that I think people have misinterpreted as subtle brilliance, but to me it's just oversimplified pop that fails to hit its mark. They're a band I understand people liking.

lol, do you honestly think that weezer is average or typical in any way?

i've honestly never heard a band that sounds anything less like every other band. thats just my opinion tho

I mean average in a 3/5 way; They're not groundbreaking but they're not bad either. Elvis Costello's earlier stuff was pretty similar, and I think is a huge influence on Cuemo.

you keep saying weird things. weezer broke into more unexplored territory than almost any other band i can think of.

[i]whatever happened to humanity?[/i]

I like a bunch of RHCP songs but they don't have an album that I can listen to all the way through without skipping the filler songs.

Otherside is like one of the best songs ever

tbh its hard to hate the singles off californication or BSSM

everything else is really bland

Parallel Universe is the shiznit!

Californication reminds me of being 15 and learning how to play bass.

goodtimes.

Californication reminds me of finding the CD in my closet and rocking out to it on the way to school pretty often this past semester.

can we all agree that under the bridge is a cool song

[QUOTE=Jaundice;17556715]can we all agree that under the bridge is a cool song[/QUOTE]

Sure!

I usually stop listening to BSSM after [i]I Could Have Lied[/i] comes on
