No way.

The Blue Album's and Pinkerton's rankings have been improving for years and are both now in the Top 100. No other Weezer album is the Top 1000, and almost every one's ranking has been falling. The purist trope is not tired. It's strengthening.

You're not alone Daydreamer. Both are in my Top 5 Weezer tracks. Butterfly is minimalist at its most beautiful.

Longtime Sunshine wouldn't get any votes because it's from an unofficial album and multiple demo recordings exist for it that don't sound the same. But this is the best version imo, with a reprise at the end that is absolutely sublime.

I underrate the hell out of Butterfly. It's far from my favorite, but damn is it a beautiful song. I think its context on Pinkerton makes it even better

Anyone whose answer isn't Only in Dreams or Butterfly needs their head examined.

1. Only in Dreams
2. Butterfly
3. Longtime Sunshine

Nothing else deserves to be on the same list as these three.

Only in dreams was my prom song or whatever. Pending on my mood I think it's bloated and other times I think it's fantastic. I think where he repeats the name of the song is the worst part of it otherwise it may have had a chance.

But I voted Butterfly.

Oh and ranking the rest...idk.
