Guided by Voices (often abbreviated as GBV) was an extremely prolific lo-fi/indie-rock band from Dayton, Ohio. Guided by Voices were an integral part of the American independent rock scene from 1986 until 2004, turning out many albums of short, catchy indie tunes.

Over the years the band saw many personnel changes, but always maintained the presence of principal singer/songwriter Robert Pollard, a former schoolteacher. Pollard was an avid rock fan, and Guided by Voices' work always reflected his steadfast devotion to the Beatles, post-British Invasion garage rock, psychedelic, prog-rock, as well as punk and post-punk.
