Last year, American rockers Weezer shocked the musical world with their surprise cover of Toto's "Africa."  Toto responded in kind with a cover of Weezer's "Hash Pipe."  I walked away from this very cool moment of cooperation between rock bands thinking that it was just that - a moment.  How very wrong I was.

Weezer just released a surprise album of extremely popular cover songs called simply titled Weezer (The Teal Album).  It's pretty awesome.  I spent the better part of this morning listening to (in my humble opinion) some of the greatest covers of some of the greatest songs from TLC, Michael Jackson, Black Sabbath, a-ha, Electric Light Orchestra, and of course Toto.  Here's the full track-list courtesy of Pitchfork.com:
