Guided by Voices discography

The Guided by Voices discography includes dozens of releases, both official and unofficial. Only the official releases credited specifically to the band are documented below. Robert Pollard, the main creative force behind the band, is an extremely prolific songwriter, having written or co-written more than 1,600 songs, with over 500 of them released under the Guided by Voices moniker.

Contents

In addition to official Guided by Voices albums, there have been numerous official singles, extended plays, split releases and compilations, as well as four box-sets of previously unreleased material known as "Suitcases" that each contain four CDs with twenty-five tracks each, for a total of 100 songs per release.

Compilation albums

Each of the four Briefcase releases is a single LP compilation of songs selected from the associated 4-disc Suitcase box-set.

Books

  • Guided by Voices: A Brief History — Twenty-One Years of Hunting Accidents in The Forests of Rock and Roll
  • Written by James Greer and published by Grove/Atlantic in 2005, this is the first biography of GBV authorized by the band. Steven Soderbergh wrote the foreword. Author Jim Greer, a former editor of Spin magazine, was also a member of the band from 1994–96 (he wrote the song "Trendspotter Acrobat" on Sunfish Holy Breakfast).
  • Bee Thousand
  • Written by Marc Woodworth and published by Continuum Books in 2006 as part of their 33⅓ series, this book is about the 1994 album Bee Thousand. The book explores the unusual production of the album, the lyrics of Robert Pollard, and the influence the album has had.
