Los Angeles, United States (1992 – present)
Weezer is an American alternative rock band. Formed in 1992, they have released six full length albums, two EPs, and a DVD. Their latest album, entitled Weezer (The Red Album), was released on June 3rd, 2008. They have sold over 7 million records in the United States to date.
The Beginning (1992-1993)
Weezer formed on February 14, 1992, in Los Angeles, California by Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp, and Jason Cropper.
Five weeks after forming, they had their first gig, opening for Dogstar at Raji’s Bar and Ribshack on Hollywood Boulevard. Weezer began playing clubs to small audiences around L.A. and recording home-demos. Soon the band began to receive attention from various A&R reps, and were signed on June 26, 1993 by Todd Sullivan, an A&R rep from Geffen Records. The band was signed onto the DGC label (which later became Interscope).
Creating “The Blue Album” (1993-1994)
The self-titled debut, Weezer, commonly referred to as The Blue Album, was released May 10, 1994. “Undone - The Sweater Song”, “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So” were released as singles. The album was produced by former The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. During the recording of the Blue Album, Jason Cropper left the band to take care of his future wife, who was pregnant with their first child. Jason was replaced by Brian Bell, a then bassist from a band called Carnival Art.

LOL at people taking me seriously. Pinkerton bummers are easily pissed off. I am actually quite shocked at the outrage just because I stated an opinion, (albeit an untruthful one) even going so far as to insult my own personal tastes and choosing the easy route of picking the self-proclaimed "Worlds most hated band" the ICP. Human Psychology eh? Respect to HeWhoSmellsBad for having a sense of humour. And for the record I love all Weezer's albums, especially Green, Blue and Pinkyton =)

Yeah dude, Pinkerton is essentially an album about "blue balls." If anything, the blue album is more kinda more surf / pop rockish than Pinkerton. According to Real Player, Pinkerton is a dark, heavy masterpeace, which is usually not a successful description of a "pop" album and is an accurate claim (by Real Player)!

...and Green has so much more emotion and soul than that pure pop sellout crap that is Pinkerton...
