Me and my mate were obsessed with this band in the 90s. We were driving across America on a mega road trip (from the UK) and somehow read in a magazine that they were playing in San Diego in a few days time. So we drove there, never having inteded to go, and saw them. Was awesome. A great trip and a great memory. That was 1997 i think. God, that's scary.
During listening to this music you can laugh, cry, fuck, wash the dishes, daydream, sleep, work, relax, let go, revive memories, vacuum the house, have a lunch, etc etc. This is simply astonishing. Wow.
Along with The Bends, this was my most important album through university. I would have listened to this daily in '95. I even paid full price for an REM ticket just to see the support band (GLB). Haven't listened to it in years, and tonight I've gone through this and Fuzzy end to end. Great music doesn't age.
It took me a decade to process “Copperopolis”, GLB’s third album- but I love it now after repeated plays ad infinitum. Try it out, it’s worth a go. I love the first two as well
One of the greatest songs ever in my opinion. So underrated but it goes down as one of the finest albums in my collection. Beautiful from start to finish. It’s rare to come across an album where every track is fantastic. But this is one of them.
This was my favorite group back in the nineties. And I find that they are one of those who stuck, and are still with me in the two thousand and whatyoumaycallit.
I heard this band on mtv during the Grunge era, they use to play Mockinbirds. Tonight i remembered the song, but i didnt know the name of it or the band, i digged in my mind for hours and i couldt find, and just now i was able to remember, Mockinbirds, and i desperately started to search here, and now i realize how much amazing music they did, a bit of bliss tonight here in Chile at 04:03, with the whole planet plagued by cvd19.
I remember my dad playing this album in the car when I was about 9 and now, after almost 10 years later of not listening to it, I hear this song from A$AP Rocky called "Kids Turned Out Fine" which inexplicably reminds me of this song and the overall vibe and nostalgia this album has.
They weren’t a favorite band of mine, but this album.... I hold it close to my heart. Somehow it gave voice to the unspeakable, words to the indescribable, made a beautiful landscape out of melancholy. In depths of depression, this was one of my favorite places to go. This music told me I wasn’t alone, but also that it was ok to be alone, if that makes any sense... so many years passed since I peeled the cellophane wrap from the cd and had that first listen. Twenty plus years later and it’s just as fresh, just as familiar, just as haunting.
you have a world out there to enjoy:GLB & GLP*solo is BRILLIANT (AMAZINGLY nice too!)check out:Gomez/I am Kloot/THE great Leonard Cohen/13th fl. elevators ,ESP!SOLO,ALL ROKY(pronounced, Rocky!)Erickson&!fantasy come true,The Nomads(Swe) with!Roky!TEXAS,too!Enjoy true vocal genius (I'm sorry Bobs voice proves u must take care of yourself!Nobel Prize?Rocky!Joni!GLP!)
Guys, I saw Grant Phillips (Lee Buffalo) in the band's height of talent and popularity way back in 94/95?. Saw them in Philly at the a Theatre of Living Arts on south street. All I can say is there isn't very much I remember from my teen years except that these guys put on a flawless performance. Each song of the set sounded like the original album recordings. Perfectionists at work in a live setting. .....and I know quite a bit about the music thing. Most artists take your ticket money and give you a half-ass performance and roll. Not GLB.
@michaelswell thanks for the info, i imagine it was a moment to see. i'm living through your memory, would love to have seen that. great band. great music.
Rock of Ages I am tumbling down Where the roots of trees Embrace you I do fall upon my knees And ask you how You can just sit there and be Rock of Ages I am crumbling now In an avalanche I'm reaching for the Rock of Ages Rock of Ages Rock of Ages Father now I have stepped Beyond my bounds Now the pack I wear It weighs a thousand pounds It drags me down Makes me think crazy Oh my Rock of Ages I have gone astray I heard my brother call I turned the other way Now I'm ashamed To face him Oh my Rock of Ages Rock of Ages Oh my Rock of Ages Rock of Ages Reach for the Rock of Ages Rock of Ages In the avalanche In the avalanche Heavy rock And I reach for the rock I reach for the rock In the avalanche it falls I reach for the rock I reach for the rock I reach for the rock In the avalanche In the avalanche Heavy rock Heavy rock Such a heavy rock

Cheers.
SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT!
The Songs seem to PENETRATE our Souls!
Thank You GRANT LEE BUFFALO!!!
A poet in his sweet sadness...a unique singer.....a moving song......GREAT!!!!!
2020 and still listening!
Why not? Ten years is not that long in music.
@teresaribeiro9886 it came out in 1994. Thirty years ago.

GLB as a support band :) what a concert :)
Oozes with talent. One of my favorite albums of all time. When you need something to confirm what you are already feeling it never disappoints.
Agree.
Thx
This was, and is, a holy song for me.
One of the greatest songs ever in my opinion. So underrated but it goes down as one of the finest albums in my collection. Beautiful from start to finish. It’s rare to come across an album where every track is fantastic. But this is one of them.
Still moves me so much
One of the best albums 😀

What a tune. Always makes me cry.

How come that 5 don't like? Don't have a worry heart? No heart at all? One of the best songs ever written...to me
Sensacional ...
Timeless beauty.
top quality singer songwriting and the best of the decade that I can think of.
I bought this when I lived in Japan 20 years ago played it to death and yet still as fresh as a daisy when I listen.
Quanti ricordi... 💟 La grande musica dei GLB non ha età!

So True...
Grant Lee Philips seems to have a "Certain Sense" or "Insight" with his Songwriting....
PURE Devine!
It's 2022 and I'm still reaching for the rock
My favourite GLB song. Sublime.
20 years and I have never heard this band? So Amazing. What a sound. Bob Dylan, Mike Scott (Waterboys), Pink Floyd and Bowie combined ...
you have a world out there to enjoy:GLB & GLP*solo is BRILLIANT (AMAZINGLY nice too!)check out:Gomez/I am Kloot/THE great Leonard Cohen/13th fl. elevators ,ESP!SOLO,ALL ROKY(pronounced, Rocky!)Erickson&!fantasy come true,The Nomads(Swe) with!Roky!TEXAS,too!Enjoy true vocal genius (I'm sorry Bobs voice proves u must take care of yourself!Nobel Prize?Rocky!Joni!GLP!)
a touchstone of emotions and a light of sense.
remember this when i was alone in a big city. perfect.
Oh my. The melancholy is sublime.
and we rock the rock of ages....again and again.....
Falling with GLB.. Every song, an amazing journey....
on my knees...

No SHIT?!??? My brother was at that show .....he was ALWAYS making me jealous.,......wow,so cool.....
I played harp with him at the Royal Albert Hall tonight.
michael sewell You should see Gorillaz' live shows, haha.... *shivers*
@michaelswell thanks for the info, i imagine it was a moment to see. i'm living through your memory, would love to have seen that. great band. great music.
Found GLB in Spotify few weeks ago.... been hooked on him ever since. Love his style of music, with easy addictive guitar
Siempre olvidados...pero una vez escuchados, eternos.
Alguém 2019? Música linda, viagem ao passado bem vivo
2020
2021 e em frente !
Grande gruppo
I saw Grant at the North Star Bar in 2004.
In Philadelphia.
Yo compre su disco. Los extrañaba sin saber k aun estaban ahi...olvidados.
For when life gets a little too hard to handle
Strong song should be more famous
Really beautiful music :)
so true. same here with The Bends and GLB's Mighty Joe Moon.
always love this
Amazing song from an amazing album and therefore in my playlists
Truly awesome sublime creativity
Mazzy star fade into you vibes!
It's better than that.

Rock of Ages
I am tumbling down
Where the roots of trees
Embrace you
I do fall upon my knees
And ask you how
You can just sit there and be
Rock of Ages
I am crumbling now
In an avalanche
I'm reaching for the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Father now I have stepped
Beyond my bounds
Now the pack I wear
It weighs a thousand pounds
It drags me down
Makes me think crazy
Oh my Rock of Ages
I have gone astray
I heard my brother call
I turned the other way
Now I'm ashamed
To face him
Oh my Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Oh my Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Reach for the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
In the avalanche
In the avalanche
Heavy rock
And I reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
In the avalanche it falls
I reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
In the avalanche
In the avalanche
Heavy rock
Heavy rock
Such a heavy rock
sempre un piacere ascoltarla ciaooo
This should be some up and coming nation's national anthem, surely, surely! -they would come to rule the world.
so under rated
Thanks Zard! Stumbled across this again..
Best voice and lyricist I've ever heard. Wonder if bc he is not white that he or band were never given proper due
I´ll go for the second one.
heers.
great song
I miss the old Largo
I wish that Townes would have done something with Grant.
good !
FUCKIN TRIPPN MUSIC
Lyrics added plis.
Google it.
Very easy.
Mighty Joe Moon (1994) is very superior to Fuzzy (1993).
Fuzzy is great, though MJM is the mighty Buffalo's masterpiece.
