ok, so i fell off my chair at this weeks reference. it's like the show is being written for my benefit really. From "The IT Crowd"

[@oscartravis5740]

Even Robert Pollard hasn't heard everything GBV have done!

[@RAMULUS31]

hahahah golden comment

[@CannibalWHORE22]

Lol the best comment

[@samreilly4360]

[@abbb4935]

Chances are he'd heard "Russian tribute to GBV" compilation album on Bandcamp we've made

Yes but has Kim Deal seen everything Robert Pollard has?

Then you have an exaggerated sense of yourself. Good god man, can you even imagine how many songs Pollard alone could have written that are :45 or shorter?!

[@6789drummerdude]

George McKenna you're right, it's almost as if Robert pollard just hit record on his life since his early 20s, and that comprises GBVs entire discography

[@6789drummerdude]

Plus the solo albums and side projects

[@kevincampbell5785]

I had heard the name Guided By Voices in passing for awhile, so I then Googled "best songs by guided by voices" because I wanted to educate myself, I listened to all 20 songs listed, and then I was on my way. Holy cow this is a great band! I'm acting just like the woman in the video above.

[@bilalbaig8586]

You shouldn't even know who they are!!!

If the song "Unmarketed Product" wasn't on that list, give it a listen. It's only a minute long and it's incredible.
