Song title: Buddy Holly
Artist: Weezer
Year: 1994
Why I like this song:
Recently I have been listening to Weezer's first album (self-titled/blue).
Weezer have an odd history with them: A lot of people hated their first album when it first came out and their second album Pinkerton received an even worse reception. And in more recent years Weezer are acknowledged as a foundation stone of the emo movement. And a lot of people are coming around to them - provided you focus on the first albums and nothing else.
Contradictions aside, what do I make of the blue album? Well it rocks hard and is a fun listen. And certainly the fan devotion it inspired certainly makes sense.
May be worth to explore further.....
