Weezer stormed onto the scene back in 1994 with their self-titled debut disc, known as "The Blue Album," which spawned the hits “Undone – The Sweater Song,” “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.” The effort, which was produced by The Cars’ frontman Ric Ocasek, sold more than 3 million copies and put the band on the proverbial map.

The Los Angeles band really made a name for themselves with their iconic and amazing music videos, including their Spike Jonze-directed clip for “Buddy Holly."

Weezer have sold just about 10 million copies of their nine studio albums in North America alone and scored dozens of hits along the way. They're also one of the headliners at the 2015 Loudwire Music Festival, taking place June 26-28 in Grand Junction, Colo. They continue to make smart, catchy and heavy rock songs with attitude. So, put on your thick black-rimmed glasses, a sweater and check out our list of the 10 Best Weezer Songs.
