Me too, they have some beautiful tunes. I think I started a thread on the last board, but no one else liked them.

I love the lyrics, there is some great humour in them.

I like Grandaddy myself, but if you have heard the song and seen the video for "Nature Anthem"...well I think they have inadvertently made an anthem that will forever be played at furry conventions.

Grandaddy are one of the few bands i play addictively. You can sit back, chill and enjoy. Stray dog and the chocolate shake has to be one of my all time favourites. It has great lyrics, "But the guy in the drivers seat don't care. With his weird cologne and his magic hair, its magic!". I like's what i like's. And i like Grandaddy.

maaaaaaaan, I love Grandaddy something fierce.

I thought there was something wrong with that last EP they put out. That last song 'Goodbye?' smelled like trouble from the off.

i'm all sad now :(

Aye, Grandaddy are legendary, such a shame theyre splitting up. Hope their last album is a good send off. A local band near me (north wales) use grandaddy as a major influence. Thought i'd post them on ere for any one who wants a listen - www.myspace.com/gintis

I'm actually addicted to Grandaddy right now:eek: - I really like the EP now although it is obviously a goodbye (couldn't have guessed from the song names:rolleyes: ). Even Sumday makes sense now - how many albums are there? I have the TZ EP, Sumday, The Sophtware slump and The Broken down one:happy: .

08-04-2006, 12:26 AM

as far as Grandaddy albums there's.....

The Broken Down comforter collection
Under the Western Freeway
The Sophtware Slump
Sumday
Just Like the Fambly Cat

Concrete Dunes (collection of older stuff, a large part from the first 2 albums)
Below the Radio (collection of other artists tracks bought together by the band, a great listen all apart from Run by snow patrol D: )

only EPs I have : Signal to snow and Todd Zilla but there are many others.

Greatly missed, one of my favourite all time bands.

Oprah Noodlemantra

08-04-2006, 04:31 AM

Concrete Dunes was just basically an extension of Broken Down Comforter Collection that some label released without the bands permission - comes with three extra songs and a slightly alternated tracklist - however i picked this one up instead cause i couldn't find BDCC.. sorry grandaddy:LOL:

Oprah Noodlemantra

30-05-2006, 01:13 PM

So whos heard 'Just like the fambly Cat'..? picked it up yesterday, and its quite a good fitting departure album from the band!

koolkile

30-05-2006, 01:50 PM

I've got it. Brilliant CD!

Elevate myself and Jeez Louise are the stand out tracks for me sofar!!

The last track is also very moving with the lyrics "I'll never return" repeated over and over. Obviously mirroring how the band are breaking up :'( :(

Oprah Noodlemantra

31-05-2006, 06:49 AM

Elevate myself is so catchy.. i had the lyrics in my head for quite a whlle afterwards

but i really like 'Summer is gone', and i agree that the last track is very moving.. too bad they've broken up i would have liked to have heard some of those tracks live:(

Velouria

31-05-2006, 07:12 AM

I think it's my favourite Grandaddy album. There are so many great tracks on it: Jeez Louise, Rear View Mirror, The Animal World, Elevate Myself, Disconnecty...

It's a quality swansong.

Their breakup will be a real loss, but it will be interesting seeing what sort of stuff Jason Lytle eventually comes out with.

Im liking this alot, can imagine what the finished version will sound like

GorkerMorker

29-07-2008, 08:46 PM

This really sounds like the guy who sang in the song 'grandaddy', the one used in the soundtrack of 28 weeks later.

demon45

29-07-2008, 08:48 PM

It is the same guy.. he was in the band grandaddy.. they wrote a song for that soundtrack

*they didnt write it for that soundtrack, it was AM 180 i think*

GorkerMorker

29-07-2008, 08:52 PM

AM 180 that was it, and the song was called "Grandaddy". Awesome song though. I listen to it regulary as it's one of the top songs in my list, alphabetically (because of 28 days later), and simply can't resist the urge to listen to it before I put the list on random.

demon45

29-07-2008, 08:57 PM

Other way round mate.. band are called grandaddy, song was called AM 180

GorkerMorker

29-07-2008, 08:58 PM

Then the 28 days later soundtrack album messed it up.

Strangely enough he played a pub here last night, had no idea it was him playing til halfway through his set, must have been subliminal messaging or summat occuring. Twas the PR dudes booking and first time I've seen him in a year or so :LOL:.

Really nice chilled stuff, don't know if I'd pay full whack to see it though, sounds pretty thin which loses the overall effect of the music, but may have just been the venue. Album sounds a lot better.

The Sparklehorse? Not heard of them in a good decade or so, thought they'd be dead by now.

Before today A.M 180 was the only Grandaddy track I had heard.

I have to say, thanks to Spotify, Under the Western Freeway is one of the best albums I have heard in a long long time. Gutted it has taken me so long to give them a proper listen!

Heavily looking forward to listening to their later albums :)
