Beginning in the mid-'80s, Robert Pollard revolutionized indie rock with ever-evolving 

lo-fi pop created by a rotating cast. Inspired equally by jangle pop and arty post-punk, 

Guided by Voices created a series of trebly, hissy indie rock records filled with 

infectiously brief pop songs that fell somewhere between the British Invasion and prog rock. 

After recording six self-released albums between 1986 and 1992, the Dayton, Ohio-based 

band attracted a handful of fans within the American indie rock underground. 

With the 1994 release of Bee Thousand, the group became an unexpected alternative rock sensation

The cult of indie rock thrives on the unexpected discovery, and in 1994 Guided by Voices 

were just the sort of musical phenomenon no one figured was still out there -- 30-something 

rock obsessives cranking out fractured guitar-driven pop tunes in a laundry room. 

Robert Pollard and his stable of beer buddies/backing musicians had been churning out 

stuff like Bee Thousand for years, but the album's surprise critical success marked the 

first time the group found a significant audience outside their hometown, and it made 

a clear case for Guided by Voices' virtues -- as well as their flaws. From the moment 

"Hardcore UFOs" kicks in, it's obvious that Pollard has an uncanny gift for a hook and a 

melody, and Bee Thousand's 20 cuts are dotted with miniature masterpieces like 

"Echos Myron," "Smothered in Hugs," and "Queen of Cans and Jars."...(AllMusic)
