For the record, I consider Guided By Voices to be one of the best rock bands on the planet, and in history. I consider Robert Pollard (Bobby from here on out, I’ve never known him as Robert, that’s for others) to be amongst the greatest songwriters to have ever written rock. That being said, I am neither fanboy nor completist. There are many to fill that role, and to do it better than I could ever hope or wish to.
That being said, I was there at the conception, and I have an experience here that is somewhat, if not completely unique.
