Anyone a Muppets fan? (I'm probably talking to a group where 90% of you never even saw The Muppet Show...>sigh<)

Anyway, there's a new album of Muppet classic tunes coming out called THE GREEN ALBUM. The release date is August 23, 2011. Right now, it's streaming on NPR and you can listen to the whole things or individual tracks. http://www.npr.org/2011/08/14/138984517...reen-album

I know there are a lot of Weezer fans on this site. Ya'll will want to hear their version of "Rainbow Connection."

The Fray, OK Go, My Morning Jacket, and others have all submitted some great versions of these songs that have followed me through my entire life.

Anyway...enjoy...and post your thoughts. Very Happy

OH MY GOD. AWESOME!

I already know this is album of the year.

(Not joking either, just in case that came off like I was kidding around.)

I think the originals are superior.
Most modern albums have the tendency to sound over-produced.

But this is still very good.

EDIT:

Solid 4 stars. One of the best movie soundtracks in recent memory. Can't wait for the film!

Holy shit... OK Go, Weezer, the Fray, Alkaline Trio, My Morning Jacket, Amy Lee, the Airborne Toxic Event, Andrew Bird!?!?!? This has to be incredible.

Except... Weezer covering one of my all-time favourite songs. Modern day Weezer kinda sucks... :\ I feel like this is gonna be killed by that. I love "The Rainbow Connection," I play it all the time with my guitar...

Piss off, GARY. Shame when an 18 year old has to tell a middle-aged man to act mature.

That last track was incredible... I've never even heard of Rachael Yamagata before, but now I have to check her out Very Happy

But overall, kinda disappointed with the Green Album... Weezer's track unsurprisingly sucked. :\

WWWHHHHHHHAAAAATTT!!!!????

That show was my reason to live at 7 years old (yeah, I was suicidal 7 year old)

Haven't heard the album yet, but it sounds pretty good.
