Guided By Voices - Queen of Cans and Jars (Garage Indie-Rock)

[zkxb]

This band is so great because they don't worry about pleasing record company dickheads or appealing to the lowest common denominator of barely-conscious brain dead rabble who actually enjoy hearing the same classic rock shit on the radio over and over. Robert picks up his guitar, turns on the 4 track cassette machine, and the magic begins.

i randomly once threw this song on when a girlfriend broke up with me. that sucked but this song doesn't

@listentohella GBV was one of the things that helped me through some rough time after a break-up. A lot of songs from Bob have lyrics that are just hittin' the bulls-eye in that kind of situation. That really helped me.

There are no words to describe how perfectly melodic this song is and the lyrics don't hurt either....."and all around the breeding ground the nymphos sweetly played, the queen of cans and jars will keep them safe." "And all around the hunting ground, the dead were on display, the queen of cans and jars will keep them safe."

One of my favorite tunes when I first heard this record so long ago. Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation got into the library of congress for being emblematic of the 80's underground, this one should be added for the 90's.

I love Bob. The single most influential artist of my lifetime. You can print that.
