I'm not a fan of all of these songs, but it appears to be a strong line up. Your thoughts?

I think BUDDY HOLLY by Weezer is a good Geek Anthem.
Don't know if I'd necessarily call those geek anthems, but it's a pretty good list.
How about this:

Oh, sorry . . . I thought you said GREEK anthems . . .
What?? No White and Nerdy? HUH? This guy is obviously not a true geek.

I guess the list is alright, but why cite BUDDY HOLLY then ignore him? No ELVIS COSTELLO? And, frankly, though THOMAS DOLBY had only one Top 40 hit single, three of his albums were in the Top 40 with significant showings, so he'd only technically be a "one-hit-wonder". Of course, a poser would only know "She Blinded Me With Science". :lookingup:
The only disappointing thing about this list is that they didn't include this song!

I'm just Al made a 'list' of any sorts. Although, "Dare to Be Stupid" is a motto I like to live by.
I thought Whip It was kind of a nerdy song.
The greatest Geek anthem IMO!

I can't believe there aren't any Leonard Nimoy songs on that list! My husband insisted that Highly Illogical be played at our wedding.
