The Sophtware Slump is such a good album.

I just ordered that one like a month ago. Hopefully it'll get here soon.

Grandaddy is one of my favorite bands.

Broken Down Comforter Collection
Concrete Dunes
Excerpts from the Diary of Todd Zilla
Just Like the Fambly Cat
The Sophtware Slump
Sumday
Under the Western Freeway

All really great.

you're referring to a.m. 180.

grandaddy is my favorite band, by far. radiohead was my former favorite, but i like grandaddy so much that i don't even listen to radiohead with the same joy that i used to. a lot of people think the sophtware slump is their best album, but i generally put utwf, sumday and jltfc above it, with just like the fambly cat being my favorite by a longshot. jason lytle is my musical god and i am highly anticipating a solo debut or something. truly great music.

Grandaddy is great. I even like the All Smiles album by Grandaddy member Jim Fairchild.

I will give them a listen, thanks.

I dont care for Grandaddy much... I think their music is somewhat boring. Are they any good live though?

I was just listening to Sumday and reminiscing about back when this album first came out and I used to listen to it all the time. So I figured I'd go see if there's an MB thread for them and lo and behold there is!

I got into this band in a weird way that is unique in my long history of how I've gotten into bands. Back in 2001 I worked at a record store in Chicago for only one day. I was out of college at that point but times were tough for me then and I had always wanted to work in a record store. I worked only one day because they were trying out a couple potential new-hires for one day each. Unfortunately, my lack of a car was a deal killer for them and I didn't get hired. Anyway, at some point during the day, one of the people who was briefly a coworker of mine put on The Sophtware Slump and I was floored by it. I went out and bought it not long after and have been a fan ever since. So I guess that day wasn't a total loss.
