Ranked: All 95 Weezer Songs Ranked

Rolling Stone recently ranked every Nirvana song as a tribute on the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. This inspired me to do the same with a few of my favorite artists.

I’ve been a fan of Weezer since I heard my brother playing his “Blue Album” cassette tape. I’ve saw them in concert a few times since and they are still one of my favorite bands of all-time.

We’ve ranked all 95 songs Weezer have released on standard albums. If I added all their B-sides and covers, this list would be a lot longer…and their track “Susanne” would be very high.

Here is our ranked list of all 85 Weezer songs in descending order…and we’ve included some videos.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: April 2014

I decided to super-size this month’s playlist with 15 songs (again). April is usually a bit light when it comes to new music, but I found some good ones.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content.

I have been called a hipster on more than one occasion. I like indie music more than any other genre of music. Don’t get me wrong, I can rock out to Richard Marx or Ace of Base (depending on the amount of alcohol in my system).

Here are 15 new indie songs I’m currently listening to. All of the songs are fresh and most have only been released within the last two months.

Gwar frontman Oderus Urungus Found Dead

The Grammy-nominated metal band Gwar has been around for 30 years. They are known for their elaborate costumes and crazy concert antics. I first heard of them in the 90’s during a few episodes of MTV’s ‘Beavis and Butthead’.

Original member and lead singer Dave Brockie, known on stage as Oderus Urungus, was found dead at the age of 50 by his roommate last night. Gwar’s former bass guitarist confirmed the news.

In a recent interview, he described the band as punk rock. He was referring to his band’s style as a DIY group from the beginning. They did their own thing and had an extensive touring schedule. They played every hole in the wall and major venue all over the world.

Lamb of God frontman Randall Blythe said it best. “Dave TRULY WAS ONE OF A KIND – I can’t think of ANYONE even remotely like him. That’s VERY HARD TO SAY.”

I leave you with a few of my favorite videos of Oderus Urungus.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: March 2014

I decided to super-size this month’s playlist with 15 songs. March is when a lot of bands start releasing new music. Many of the songs this month also have great videos. Make sure you check out Big Data’s music video for “Dangerous”, it has one of the oddest storylines in a music video ever.

Here are 15 new indie songs I’m currently listening to. All of the songs are fresh and most have only been released within the last two months.

The 20 Best Punk Rock Songs of All-Time

I’ve been a fan of punk music since my teenage years. I would buy all of Epitaph’s “Punk-O-Rama” mixtapes and would listen to just about anything considered punk. I was more interested in the bands at the time (Rancid, NOFX, Millencolin, etc), but I ventured deeper into the history of punk music.

Punk music has went from counterculture to a genre the recording industry machine uses to sell the ‘punk culture’ to teenagers. Joey Ramone would not have approved of this.

We list the best 20 punk rock songs of all-time by 20 different bands…we also post YouTube videos of every song on the list. This list is just as good as slots online win real money, guys…so enjoy!

I want to kick 2014’s ‘Hipster Music Playlist’ off right. I decided to super-size this month’s playlist (again) with 15 songs.

Included in this month’s playlist is an hilarious video by FIDLAR that features Nick Offerman (aka Ron Swanson).

Here are 15 new indie songs I’m currently listening to. All of the songs are fresh and most have only been released within the last two months.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: November 2013

I keep an ear out for new music. I’m used to discovering new bands from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content.

Due to football, I did not post a Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist last month. I always receive a lot of great feedback from them, so sorry for the delay. Many emails came in from readers who recommended new tracks to me, which I love. I will keep posting these as long as I keep receiving all the feedback.

I have been called a hipster on more than one occasion. I like indie music more than any other genre of music. Don’t get me wrong, I can rock out to Eddie Money or Roxette (depending on the amount of alcohol in my system).

Here are 12 new indie songs I’m currently listening to. All of the songs are fresh and have only been released a few months or less.

Cover Song Month: Birdy – “1901”

I couldn’t do a month full of cover songs without including Birdy. She made a name for herself by covering Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love”.

She’s back covering Phoenix’s track, “1901”. I love how she deconstructs the melody and slows it down. Phoenix’s original is high-tempo, so a slowed-down version is very fresh.

Cover Song Month: Ed Sheeran feat. Passenger – “No Diggity”

You can’t have ‘Cover Song Month’ without indie musicians covering an old 90’s hip hop track, right?

Ed Sheeran is hot indie musician and Passenger is one of my personal favorites, his voice is amazing. They collaborated on “No Diggity” by Blackstreet…and it’s awesome.

Cover Song Month: Bad Rabbits – “Sextape”

This is not the first time Bad Rabbits appeared during “Cover Song Month”. They covered The Smashing Pumpkins track “1979” and we included it in last year’s feature.

This year, we’re featuring their cover of “Sextape” by Deftones. It’s one our favorite covers in recent memory.
