"If you like Pinkerton, you will LOVE The Pixies. Try Surfer Rosa. The drum sound on that record is the best I've ever heard and probably will ever hear."

"yes, that is about the only band that can get close without utter failure. that is a hard sound to replicate.  even weezer couldn't really do it. "

"I've always thought Rivers must have been listening to "You can't do that" when writing Hashpipe   "I can't help my feelings, I go out of my mind" "

"diddo.  old Ozma did a decent job at replicating old Weezer.  I've the always thought their song "Natalie Portman"  sounded the closest. "

"how bizarre that everyone misunderstood such a clear response like "yeah, green day and the beatles." i mean, it was so obvious that you were responding to some statement in the thread, and not original question. "

"lol @ Green Day being better than something "

"Ted Leo and the Pharmacists? maybe its just me though"

" "

"There's this band Yuck out, and I think they kind of have that Weezer vibe. Their song "Get Away" sounds like Weezer to me."

"Mahavishnu Orchestra   Listen to the album 'Birds of Fire' sounds just like Pinkerton"

"all bands that were better in the 90s. i'm noticing a pattern here. "

"Wheatus immediately springs to mind.    The band Manchester Orchestra released an album called 'Mean Everything to Nothing' for which they purposefully used Pinkerton as the main influence of. "

"Bands like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World aren't really all that similar to Weezer, but a lot of Weezer fans like these bands and a lot of their fans like Weezer."

"I hear some beatles influence. Always sounds a lot like the beatles imo But no. Greenday dont sound very similar "

"Yeah but i think he also means bands who are hevily influenced by Weezer. "
