Guided by Voices

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Guided by Voices (often called GBV) was a band that made indie rock music. Indie rock is rock music that is made by people who do not want to make music just to make money. Also, people try out new things in indie rock. Guided by Voices was very famous for bringing out many albums. They were active between 1986 and 2004.

The band had many members who only stayed for a while, but Robert Pollard was the most important member. Before becoming a full time musical artist, he was a teacher at an elementary school. While he was teaching, he created lots of music for the band. Robert, who today is a solo artist, is a great fan of rock music. His music and the music of Guided by Voices is inspired by the famous British band The Beatles and different music styles like post-British Invasion garage rock, psychedelic, prog-rock, as well as punk and post-punk.
