There's a problem with Weezer, as I see it. When I first heard them, I listened to the Blue Album and some stuff off of other albums e.g. My Name is Jonas. I liked the style a lot, lyrically and musically.
Then, the Red Album came out, and was a load of bullshit. I hadn't listened to anything later than the Green Album, so somewhere in there they jumped the shark.
I think that they are perfectly rated for some of the earlier stuff, but for the newer shit, I'd have to agree with you.

Yeah, besides which, Sonic Youth have a rather large number of pop songs. Hell, a large majority of what they've recorded since like, 1989 has been pretty pop. "Teenage Riot"? "Dirty Boots"? "My Friend Goo"? "100%"? "Bull in the Heather"? "Junkie's Promise"? Basically all of Rather Ripped? And other than the pop stuff, almost everything else has been "pretty" songs like "Theresa's Sound-World", "Wildflower Soul", "The Diamond Sea", etc etc...
Sonic Youth was a "noise" band for like, all of one and a half albums. EVOL and Sister have a pretty high hook/noise ratio. I mean, "Schizophrenia", fuck's sake.

I don't think you've listened to Blue Album closely enough.
And you're also a bit behind on the 'Weezer suck now' trend; personally I consider Red their third best record anyway.
