If a rock album is 20 years old, does that make it a Classic Rock album?
I hope not, because if they start calling Weezer’s Blue Album classic rock, then I’m going to officially be old.
Weezer’s Weezer (the 1994 one, not the 2001 or 2008 one) was released 20 years ago today. It was the first CD I ever bought, although I didn’t get it until a few months later.
There have been some good write ups on Blue published in the past few days, including Alternative Press’ 20 Facts You May Not Know About Weezer’s Blue Album (most of which I knew) and The Smoking Section’s “Undone”: The Story Behind Weezer’s Debut Album Cover (most of which was new to me).
I should note that Weezer’s fifth album, 2005’s Make Believe (an excellent album on its own) was also released today.
