Concrete Dunes is a compilation album by American indie rock band Grandaddy, released in October 2002 by record label Lakeshore.[1] This album has created some controversy among fans of the band, as this was not released with the band's permission.[citation needed] It contains all 12 tracks from The Broken Down Comforter Collection, which collected tracks from the band's early releases, plus three additional tracks (Why Would I Want to Die, My Small Love, 12-Pak-599).[1]

Heather Phares of AllMusic described it as "a pretty good overview of Grandaddy's evolution from shambling, fuzzed-out indie rock to the more ambitious, spacy sound of their later work."[2]
