Led by indefatigable singer and songwriter Robert Pollard, GBV are one
of the most important rock groups of the past thirty years. After
toiling for a decade in obscurity, they broke onto the scene in the
early '90s by delivering generation- and genre-defining records such as
1994's Bee Thousand and 1995's Alien Lanes.
Pollard and a rotating cast of musicians have kept at it ever since,
releasing LP after LP of stadium-worthy rock'n'roll. Zeppelin Over
Dayton: Guided By Voices Album By Album is the first serious and
comprehensive look at the band's work. Based on the popular GBV podcast
Self-Inflicted Aural Nostalgia, it takes an in-depth look at each one
of the group's records, looking at who was in the band at the time and
how the LP fits into the band's discography, and providing commentary
and analysis of every song.
Drawing on new interviews and extensive research, Zeppelin Over Dayton
offers an honest and thorough assessment of GBV's amazingly sprawling
discography, providing ardent admirers with tons of fresh anecdotes and
insight, and new fans a way to successfully navigate the group's dozens
of LPs.
