    Hahaha, welp. The first two tracks I scrobbled were from a Japanese jazz band, and now the "Find your friends" box has a bunch of moonspeak in it. Gonna have to hit up the other stuff for a while.

    beverly hills is like their worst song in my opinion.

    i like the blue album (their first one), but i think that one's just generally liked by most.

    but yeah to answer your question i think they're pretty good.

    I was amused

    Pinkerton is Weezer's best album

    Blue is pretty good, Green mostly sucks, Maladroit blows, Make Believe is terrible.

    I kind of like some of the songs on the Red album though. Not all of them, but there's at least half a disc worth of good songs there

    river cuomo's solo album is pretty good too

    listening to that kind of softened the letdown of the red album

    but yeah, like monoxide said, not all the tracks on it are completely terrible.

    Pinkerton is the best, by far.

    It's so much better than anything after it that it's scary.

    Except maybe "Island in the Sun" and the riff in "Burndt Jam."

    Edit: Damn you last.fm update.

    no, last.fm is pretty easy to get into and start using, but you aren't going to start getting good reccomendations/charts etc. until you have been using it for a while

    I actually think it's great for finding concerts/shows in your area. The live concert calendar is pretty rad.

    Man, weezer has something for everyone, what you get out of them depends on your expectations going in.

    Expect something that doesn't pander all the time, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.




    Also, anyway to make this work with Zune?

    It's highly low-maintenance, though. You make your charts simply by listening to music, which (ideally) is something that you'd do regardless.

    What is the better theme song for a Sonic T.V. series?
    Sonic Underground or Sonic The Hedgehog?

    Sonic The Hedgehog
    Sonic Underground
    It's the second one that is the greatest song ever.

    I love the last.fm users who "cheat" by mistagging short songs and putting them on repeat (to be a top listener of a band or something) or people who massage their stats by removing objectionable songs. Those people are the saddest people.

    How do I edit an artist, like linking them to a MusicBrainz entry or adding albums? Some of the info in their database is just outright incorrect.

    I've massaged a bit here and there, usually when I have funky tags and it scrobbles it wrong, or not at all. For a while I had both Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin (live) as two entities thanks to my horrible tags.

    and I've never been able to get Boston to scrobble at all.

    Your musical compatibility rating with Makershot is:
    Very High

    You share many artists in common, including Tom Waits, The Rapture, Yo La Tengo, Modest Mouse, and Ratatat.
