Best Songs From Pinkerton by Weezer

The Top Ten
1 El Scorcho

Perfect musical and lyrical structure, rhythm, singing, and feeling.

Such a fun song to sing along to!

2 The Good Life

It's hard to pick a favorite song from this album, I love all of the songs from it.

Blue album is better

Quality music

3 Across the Sea

It's the most well-rounded song along with the good life, but it just has some better mechanics. The bridge is great how it changes key by going from the current scale to its minor version of the scale (ex C major -> C minor (Eb major)). The progression of the song is great how it goes from a simple riff to an explosive chorus to a soft bridge to an even more explosive climax. I feel it has the most emotion.

Such a beautiful song! Packed with emotion, because a piece of paper can only provide so much satisfaction. This song makes you feel so alone and empty, Rivers voice just breaks your heart.

4 Pink Triangle

It's a great song. The chorus is genius and the melody is catchy as heck. Plus, it's a song that most dudes can relate to (I realize that's every song on this album, but this one does it better than all the others).

5 Tired of Sex

Best Weezer song

6 Falling for You

The intro is really beautiful, and the melody is really nice, I like the chorus a lot too. The song is really relatable to most people while still having the typical super specific lyrics of Pinkerton. One of my favorites on the album for sure, shouldn't be on the bottom of the list...

Why is this so low on the list

7 Why Bother

I love the refrain. It has such a great beat. I can't help, but jump on one foot like guitarist do on the refrain.

The most relatable and hard-rocking song on the album

Relatable, catchy, great baseline, good vocals.

8 No Other One

For me, it's a definite tie between this and "Pink Triangle". I often prefer this one, because I'm usually more often in the mood for it, and has Weezer's most infectious chorus ever. Definitely one of their most underrated and awesome songs.

9 Getchoo

Why does everyone call this the weakest song of the album?

Ending is epic, and then changes from 4/4 into 7/8. Love it

10 Butterfly

It may or be loud or catchy, but this is Rivers Cuomo songwriting at its finest

This is not supposed to be at number ten one of the best songs ever made.

The Contenders
11 Tragic Girl
12 You Gave Your Love to Me Softly
13 I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams
14 Devotion

This song is so good needs to be in top ten

15 Waiting on You
16 Long Time Sunshine
17 I Swear It's True
18 Getting Up and Leaving
19 You Won't Get with Me Tonight
