Digging Through the Guided by Voices Discography
So I’ve been doing this thing where I listen to every cd I own in alphabetical order, and I’m up to a big one – 39 cds of Guided by Voices (this doesn’t even include the stuff other under names spread around, or the boxes of cassette tapes of them playing live, or the GBV 7”s). These cds represent everything from 4-song singles to discs from box sets. I’m most of the way through, and keep realizing how many great, great songs they released besides the obvious ones. Here’s 10 of my favorite GBV songs that aren’t the ‘hits’.
Guided by Voices – “The Ascended Master’s Grogshop” (from “I Am a Tree” EP)
Guided by Voices – “A Contest Featuring Human Beings” (from Sunfish Holy Breakfast)
Guided by Voices – “Is She Ever?” (from Tonics and Twisted Chasers)
Guided by Voices – “Look at Them” (from Under the Bushes, Under the Stars)
Guided by Voices – “Unspirited” (from Isolation Drills)
Guided by Voices – “Wormhole” (from Do the Collapse)
Guided by Voices – “Snowman” (from Fast Japanese Spin Cycle EP)
Guided by Voices – “The Great Blake Street Canoe Race” (from Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia)
Guided by Voices – “What About It?” (from Vampire on Titus)
