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

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

I think BUDDY HOLLY by Weezer is a good Geek Anthem.
"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Don't know if I'd necessarily call those geek anthems, but it's a pretty good list.

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:
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

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.
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.
It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.

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.
