I realize not everyone is as obsessed with legendary Dayton, Ohio indie rockers Guided By Voices as I am (or as Julie Kramer is). So I’ve put together a short list of GBV songs that both fans and newbies can appreciate.
Make sure you click here to win a pair of tickets to see them at the Paradise with us on Saturday.
| My Valuable Hunting Knife |
A classic from the golden age of the Guided By Voices “Classic Lineup.”
| Bulldog Skin |
“Alright, get wild!’ *Doug Gillard shreds*
| “I Am A Scientist” |
From ‘Bee Thousand,’ the album that put the band on the map and turned 20 just last month.
| “Vote For Me Dummy” |
The classic lineup is back together and still making compelling indie rock. This one’s from ‘Motivational Jumpsuit,’ which came out earlier this year.
| “Motor Away” |
The video starts with “Auditorium” then “Motor Away” kicks in and the volume goes up and you start jumping up in the air and doing spin kicks.
| “Glad Girls” |
From their 2001 album ‘Isolation Drills,’ which was the band’s second release on major label TVT. Big-budget production and a huge hook make it one of their most accessible songs.
