There are three parts to the history of Dayton, Ohio's Guided By Voices: Before Bee Thousand (BBT), During Bee Thousand (DBT), and After Bee Thousand (ABT). The first and last are rewarding periods to investigate, but nothing will likely match the sheer thrill of listening to Bee Thousand the first few (dozen) times. "The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory" and "Awful Bliss" are just two of many instant classics.
