1. Weezer, “Pork and Beans” (Geffen): Clever as ever, Weezer somehow crafted a multi-generational protest song out of references to Rogaine, Timbaland and a killer guitar riff that only improved with repeated listenings. “I’mma do the things that I wanna do/I ain’t got a thing to prove to...

Opinion: Rooney - Calling The World

24 Jul 2007 09:46:34 PDT

Review: Four years ago, the debut from these L.A. boys earned loads of Weezer comparisons and blew up a little, thanks partly to O.C. exposure. Rooney's second album owes as much to Seventies keyboard-driven radio rock (think ELO and Styx) as Weezer, and it's even more hook-slathered and fetc...
