Grant Lee Buffalo - Rock Of Ages

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT! The Songs seem to PENETRATE our Souls! Thank You GRANT LEE BUFFALO!!!

[@zergnub7426]

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.

[@zardportugal]

Wow! A great memory indeed. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers.

[@MarceloFarias]

December, 2024. Still no sight of that rock...

[@bxter3971]

Nostalgia. Big time. A different century! My kids remind me often that I was ‘born in the 1900’s’ … maybe so but damn, we had good music!

[@AlessandroBernazzoli]

A poet in his sweet sadness...a unique singer.....a moving song......GREAT!!!!!

[@J.Chapman-Drums]

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.

[@nekkanahlaaturinda4822]

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.

[@countgrubula]

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.

[@darling_danke_schoen]

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

[@sommou]

GLB as a support band :) what a concert :)

[@gekapte]

2020 and still listening!

[@teresaribeiro9886]

Why not? Ten years is not that long in music.

[@zergnub7426]

​@teresaribeiro9886 it came out in 1994. Thirty years ago.

[@dinadorsett2739]

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.

[@zardportugal]

Agree. Thx

[@marcobenneti9664]

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.

[@mauijaystar]

This was, and is, a holy song for me.

[@theonemanclapping]

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

[@42matty]

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.

[@2esh4]

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.

[@michaelbritton4119]

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.

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

So True... Grant Lee Philips seems to have a "Certain Sense" or "Insight" with his Songwriting.... PURE Devine!

[@commodoreelpinjata7672]

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.

[@danilocleiton1454]

Sensacional ...

[@WatTyler13]

What a tune. Always makes me cry.

[@kristrznadel1494]

One of the best albums 😀

[@firstbornjordan]

20 years and I have never heard this band? So Amazing. What a sound. Bob Dylan, Mike Scott (Waterboys), Pink Floyd and Bowie combined ...

[@redshaftedflicker]

top quality singer songwriting and the best of the decade that I can think of.

[@velanrama]

Found GLB in Spotify few weeks ago.... been hooked on him ever since. Love his style of music, with easy addictive guitar

[@patricioballadares5050]

Timeless beauty.

[@micah-hooka7275]

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.

[@evolve991]

No SHIT?!??? My brother was at that show .....he was ALWAYS making me jealous.,......wow,so cool.....

[@andrewcarson5850]

I played harp with him at the Royal Albert Hall tonight.

[@DuringDark]

michael sewell You should see Gorillaz' live shows, haha.... *shivers*

[@robertgreenwood2258]

@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.

[@MarceloFarias]

It's 2022 and I'm still reaching for the rock

[@MarceloFarias]

[@aracelyfernandez5101]

[@simonoconnorable]

Oh my. The melancholy is sublime.

[@reza4851]

For when life gets a little too hard to handle

[@MarceloFarias]

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

[@lostinmusic5431]

[@aracelyfernandez5101]

Siempre olvidados...pero una vez escuchados, eternos.

[@PoshLifeforME]

This should be some up and coming nation's national anthem, surely, surely! -they would come to rule the world.

It's better than that.

[@LoneWolf-cv6pl]

@@ninagray4441 I said vibes dummy

[@leticiab8789]

Best voice and lyricist I've ever heard. Wonder if bc he is not white that he or band were never given proper due

[@zardportugal]

I´ll go for the second one. heers.

[@MrBothandNether]

I miss the old Largo

[@redshaftedflicker]

I wish that Townes would have done something with Grant.

[@jonnivvvvvvvvvvvv]

[@zardportugal]

Google it. Very easy.

[@billsmith4126]

FUCKIN TRIPPN MUSIC

[@lyonslaforet]

Mighty Joe Moon (1994) is very superior to Fuzzy (1993).

[@ninagray4441]

Fuzzy is great, though MJM is the mighty Buffalo's masterpiece.
