"Then: This was probably the number one owned albums among my classmates for a while before I finally got around to buying it. Not sure what exactly took me so long.
Now: When I bought Weezer's follow-up release, Pinkerton I may as well have forgotten this one even existed. I think I gave this CD to my little sister at some point, which I'd be fine with if I knew they'd only go on to put out two good albums. But at least I still have my Pinkerton!"
""Say It Ain't So"
Between '96 and 2001 I tried unsuccessfully to start my own band. At one point one of my close friends was going to play guitar for me, and to warm up we used to do a couple covers, one of which was "Say It Ain't So".

""When it came out, Weezer's debut was merely a cool, quirky power-pop album with a couple of hit singles: "Buddy Holly" and "Undone (The Sweater Song)." But Rivers Cuomo's band became a major influence on young sad-sack punkers who today claim Weezer as one of emo's pioneers.""
