Zeppelin Over Dayton

The first serious study of the Guided By Voices, one of the most important rock groups of the past thirty years.

---

Led by indefatigable singer and songwriter Robert Pollard, GBV have been 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, Zeppelin Over Dayton 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.
