Weezer are no strangers to familiar takes on pop classics—they did The Monkees’ “I’m a Believer” for Shrek and The Cars’ “You Might Think” for Cars 2. But after a fan’s successful viral campaign to get them to cover Toto’s “Africa” gave them their biggest hit in ages, they made a project of it—with ground rules. Inspired by Phil Collins’ version of “You Can't Hurry Love,” they would stick to largely faithful readings of pre-’90s songs and avoid alt-rock peers as well as obvious classic-rock staples like “Hotel California.” “We don’t wanna be a bar band,” Rivers Cuomo tells Apple Music. “The Teal Album is what was left.” Cuomo and guitarist Brian Bell explain their picks for this set of other people’s greatest hits.
