Weezer’s self-titled debut, aka the Blue Album, came out back in 1994. I know this because I spent the summer cutting grass to save up for a stereo, and as a reward for all of my hard work, my folks bought me the Ric-Ocasek-produced album (and my first-ever CD).

The album is now celebrating its 30th anniversary, and if that wasn’t already making me feel pretty gosh-darn ancient, my oldest child regularly listens to it. Plus, they’re releasing a special box set to celebrate the band’s first album, a record I will still 100% go to bat for (just don’t ask me about anything after Matt Sharp left the band).
