I've been on a huge Alien Lanes kick lately. The melodies are delectible. Alien Lanes is like if Pavement packed their terrific melodies in 30 1 minute songs as opposed to somewhat normal length rock songs.
But yeah, Alien Lanes is quickly becoming one of my favorites I've discovered this year. |

I'm just getting into these guys, and Alien Lanes is already one of my favorite albums of all time. I'd been looking for something like this for a while, and everyone keeps telling me how great Bee Thousand is, but I prefer Alien Lanes. |

I got into this band not too long ago and they've definitely become one of my favorite bands due to having a catalog of albums where nearly every one is really great - but I've discovered I'm very much in the minority of GBV fans, my personal favorite album is Do The Collapse, which alot of people seem to hate. Also it seems I'm one of the few fans who loves ANY of their albums other than the trilogy of Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Under The Bushes Under the Stars
Bee Thousand is easily the most essential and best album they ever did though, and the one I would recommend. It's got a vibe about it that just screams "this is one of those life changing records I'm hearing right now"...to those new to it: the first time you hear it, the unprofessional (to put it lightly) recording quality can be somewhat off-putting, but then a day or two passes and so many hooks are floating around your head, it just takes over you. It's a grower, but it grows quickly and once it does you're hooked forever. |

Guided By Voices
What a wonderful band, my L.A teacher recomemnded them to me and I have been addicted to them since. I only have Bee Thousand however, it seems almost perfect to me, like a summary of 80s music I like with a bit of garage put into the mix. Anyone like them?
