3. The Blue Album – Weezer

Not officially labeled with an album name, Weezer’s first album is known as The Blue Album because that is the color of the cover (later albums include other self titles known as The Green Album and The Red Album). I first received The Blue Album from my friend Jay Nelson on a cassette tape. He had the cd and recorded it for me when I was in the 6th grade. This album represents many albums and bands to me. It is my quintessential fun album. Rhyming any lyrics just to keep the song upbeat and lively, this sing-along cheers me up every time I hear it’s whimsical lyrics and keeps me tapping my toes and hands the whole way through. Who doesn’t recognize “The Sweater Song” when they here the casual guitar plucking and goofy banter? “Ah man, ah bro this is the best…” The Blue Album is an album that can usually be found “Only in Dreams”.
