The band has spit out songs and albums at a prolific rate during a 20-year run, and - even after disbanding in 2004 - they have come out with 6 additional reunion albums.

A cult-like following has filled concert halls on reunion tours - the most recent of which brings Guided By Voices to The Paramount in Huntington on Friday, Aug. 22.
