Selective whimsy

I recently saw a very vanilla album ranking that had Pacific Daydream ranked typically quite low, and it came with the standard comments of "bro has no whimsy" or something with this fantastic picture. Then I realized... the OP of that post had Raditude at 20, which nobody found weird. The irony of some people to say that Pacific Daydream is so underrated but then never throw a bone at Raditude (pun intended). This might be a bit of a hot take but I'd deadass rather listen to Raditude than Pinkerton most days. I wouldn't go so far to say it's better, because I think Pinkerton is objectively great (not as good as White or EWBAITE tho), but hey... it's close. I think (IYWIIWYT)IWYT is one of the band's better moments, and I honestly don't think any song is even all that bad, including In the Mall or Can't Stop Partying (although I don't really like Lil Wayne's verse or him as an artist in general or the fact they made the whole song so they could say Weezy and Weezer). In fact, I think pretty much every song is fun and whimsical to the core. Of course, if you're an overthinker as pictured, I have no problem with the hate, but if you don't hate yourself, give Raditude a relisten.

TLDR: Raditude is better than Pinkerton

What is each member's most impressive song?

I don't mean as a songwriter or singer, I just mean each of the guys in their element most: Rivers's singing, Pat on drums, etc. This is really for the purpose of Pat but I thought I'd expand it a little
