They became a household name with the release of their self-titled debut album (known to many fans as The Blue Album) in 1994, with its singles "Buddy Holly", "Undone - The Sweater Song", and "Say It Ain't So" becoming staples on MTV. Since their breakthrough, they've released 15 albums, with their most recent record being Van Weezer in 2021.Interestingly, although songs like "Buddy Holly" and "Island in the Sun" are well-known, their only Top 40 Billboard hit has been "Beverly Hills", which peaked at no. 10 (they've done much, much better on the radio airplay charts like Alternative Rock and Mainstream Rock).Discography: Weezer (The Blue Album) (1994) Pinkerton (1996) Weezer (The Green Album) (2001) Maladroit (2002) Make Believe (2005) Weezer (The Red Album) (2008) Raditude (2009) Hurley (2010) Everything Will be Alright in the End (2014) Weezer (The White Album) (2016) Pacific Daydream (2017) Weezer (The Teal Album) (January 2019) Weezer (The Black Album) (March 2019) OK Human (January 2021) Van Weezer (May 2021) SZNZ: Spring (EP, March 2022) SZNZ: Summer (EP, June 2022) SZNZ: Autumn (EP, September 2022) SZNZ: Winter (EP, December 2022)Principal Members (Founding members in bold, current members in italic): Brian Bell — Rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals (1993-present) Jason Cropper — Rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, backing vocals (1992-1993) Rivers Cuomo — Lead vocals, lead guitar (1992-present) Matt Sharp — Bass guitar, backing vocals (1992-1998) Scott Shriner — Bass guitar, backing vocals (2001-present) Mikey Welsh — Bass guitar, backing vocals (1998-2001, died 2011) Patrick Wilson — Drums, backing vocals, occasional guitar (1992-present)
