10 Best Debut Rock Albums Of The 1990s

4. Weezer - Weezer

Our trilogy of back-to-back self-titled albums concludes with the oldest of the bunch - 1994's Weezer.

It's important to state the year, because these guys have unhelpfully released six different albums bearing their own name. Thanks a lot, fellas, make our lives a living hell why don't you?

Also known as the Blue Album due to its cover, Weezer's first album contains some of the eccentric band's best and most-beloved songs.

Coming Undone - The Sweater Song, Buddy Holly, and Say It Ain't So are some of the biggest hits the band ever had and are beloved by Weezer experts and novices alike.

For the more culturally acute of you out there, you may also recognise the likes of My Name is Jonas, Surf Wax America, and Holiday. Hipsters, the lot of you.

It only takes a few seconds for Weezer to establish themself on this album, conveying their trademark detachment and humour right from the get go.

The Blue Album has gone on to become a classic for a reason. You think people would have come up with a new name for it if they didn't like it?
