Weezer
Why is the band Weezer so great? Well, if one listens to their music, it is quite obvious. People simply fall in love with their tunes. They are extremely catchy. But there is more to this simple rock group than meets the eye.
Weezer is one of the first bands that I ever liked. I first heard their music when I was in about 2nd grade. Their melodic melodies know no equal. Every single one of their songs is catchy and makes the listnener want to sing along. However, it is not just the music that makes Weezer so great.
Weezer is not like the typical band. They are, in a word, geeky. They don't sport the long hair, or have a known affiliation with drugs. They wear somewhat nerdy clothing, sing about funny topics for the most part, and their music videos are groundbreaking. They always have fresh, new, funny ideas. These ideas are the brainchild of the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Rivers Cuomo.
Cuomo is definately not the typical 'rocker'. He spends hours a day meditating, which he claims helps his songwriting and singing skills. He also used to be a jerk to the other members of the band, but has since changed his ways - another possible effect of the meditation. This newfound kindness has given me and thousands of other Weezer fans hope for the bands future. A good band doesn't become a great band unless it endures. All signs point to endurance for Weezer.
