alright, but you have to keep in mind i have a warped upbringing and perspective from the VAST majority of my peers and music fans. plus i fluked out into finding the chili peppers early and ahead of any of 'my' generation's big names before they started hitting big.
by the time Weezer was coming up, grunge and alt-rock was already moving down. the mid 90s got really odd for a little while. everything from downtempo stuff like Air and Portishead were getting airplay next to big beats like the Chemical Brothers or the Propellorheads and between that every other rock band was coming out with an industrialized remix of a failed single.
hearing what's ultimately a 'boohoo i'm still a lonely nerd' Pixies song they didn't write didn't do it for me then. still not really doing it for me now either. i can definitely understand the appeal for a lot of people but really, the Pixies wrote better songs and the Smashing Pumpkins wrote better music.
having said that, your list did prompt me to digitally dust off an oldie
