I love The Toms. Do you like Shoes? Not all of their stuff is streaming, but I'd highly recommend them.

im not saying anyone is wrong, neither you or wiki, and big star since they’re one of the earliest bands probably put the seeds onto what made power pop what it is or became (but then how far can we go onto that? aren’t beatles and beach boys power pop dads for that matter?) im just saying they don’t fit on what i define power pop as in its traditional way

oh wow here i was thinking i would be the only on ktt2 to bring up the toms! how dope! love shoes too

im assuming you know all the other cool stuff then, the rubinoos etc etc

the who and small faces probably come closest for the 60s

tru i can see that!

already posted this once today but its a good example

hahah that’s precisely the song that came to mind actually when you namedropped them as reference of power pop

this opened a rabbit hole for me, spent the last hour reading weezerpedia. love this band sm

power popera

I’ll check it out broski

hahaha, there’s a lot to unpack from this album era/session it was a big brainstorming actually, maybe i’ll write about it but weezerpedia is a great source!

i do lots of posts itt with cool trivias, stories n cool stuff the weezerpedia dont all archive or put it all together into one or as detailed

what’s your fav albums? 🤗 u like the new songs?

from the who to weezer, only w’s did you like the new who album??

Not tryna hear anything from that c*** Pete anymore. Last interview he was saying it's was better for the band that Moon and Entwistle died the best rythm section that ever was. F*** outta here.

WHAAAAAAA

i do like their new songs ! and i tend to like/respect any direction the band goes in, rivers is just too great of a songwriter. that said, i am biased towards emo genre, so PINKERTON is my favorite

have i found my twin? 🥺

bruh

i tend to like any direction the band goes in
does this means that i finally found a brother who stans pacific daydream as much as i do?

also a nice acoustic performance of In The Garage at a record store, 1994:

so vulnerable ...

ok i’m listening to Raditude rn and why the f*** is there a hindi verse in a song

ok there’s two hindi verses what the f*** i need answers and it ain’t love @Ithaka

ah, yes... raditude.....


well hey i warmed u told u there was a low point ahead but it picks up afterwards

lmao especially this song man this has to be in my top most hated weezer songs next to i’m your daddy - funny story i got a close friend into weezer one time and he REALLY loved the f*** outta i’m your daddy and one time during car ride he was driving he had his gf next to him i was in the back with my back then gf and another friend and somehow he brought up weezer and said all he had loaded was my name is jonas and i’m your daddy and asked me which one to play i never answered with a more straight serious face in my life before with my name is jonas, he wanted to play i’m your daddy so bad, dodged massive humiliation bullet there and long minutes of explications to do ...

ugh

idk y brought this hindu stuff, maybe the peace n love sixties movement, echoing beatles trip idk, but at least it sounds new i guess, he went to try new sounds there lol... that’s the best i can say lmao

i don’t want to let you go is nice tho, my fav is def the deluxe song “run over by a truck” that comes from the red album sessions iirc? incredible slept on song imo

good luck tho

id recommend to jump forward onto “everything will be alright in the end” tho

altho some ppl like and some love hurley actually so idk i know @Tha7osavage liked it ☺️

at least it’s so bad it’s fun type bad @Womanpuncher69 right rather that than boring bad

Hero is their catchiest hook since Pork & Beans

see it as some 80s cheesy movie
