Weezer's "Self-Titled (The Blue Album)"

In 1989, a teenage Rivers Cuomo moved from suburban Connecticut to Los Angeles to become a superstar hair-metal guitarist – and instead ended up the frontman of Weezer, one of the key bands of the Nineties alt-rock revolution. Cuomo and his bandmates tell the story of the unlikely birth of Weezer, and the making of a classic debut album that's still winning over new generations of fans. New episodes of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums release every Tuesday, only on Amazon Music.
