Pavement, could spend forever on this so just went chronological(ish) - 12 songs, 37 mins

Summer Babe
Trigger Cut
In the Mouth a Desert
Shoot the Singer
Frontwards
Baptiss Blacktick
Cut Your Hair
Gold Soundz
Grounded
Stereo
Date w/ IKEA
Spit on a Stranger

Wanted Painted Soliders given it’s the best SS song, but sounds too similar to Cut Your Hair to have them so close together so what you gonna do.

I just added them in the order I wanted them…

Yeah, totally. It’s pretty much all mid-period stuff mostly. Probably not enough Lee or Kim songs either!

Thanks for this thread! I’ve downloaded a few of these. Will return the favour when I get chance and can think of who to do.

“Maybe people don’t know Guided By Voices because they’ve got so much material they have no idea where to begin.”
“Okay, let me make a 22-song, hour long playlist. That’ll really draw them in.”

tbf a 12 song playlist seems pointless for them. would probably only last about 20 minutes

That should be enough.

Or if they’re a band that change so much it’s not you should be able to do ‘period’ based playlists.

There’s nothing wrong with 20 minutes of good music.

57mins. yep, Incesticide is included.

You Know You’re Right
Scentless Apprentice
About a Girl
Rape Me
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Sliver
Serve the Servants
Come As You Are
Pennyroyal Tea
Lounge Act
Heart Shaped Box
Dive
Dumb
Drain You
Blew
Aneurysm

although they also have 2 very obvious highly acclaimed albums to start with so anyone who doesn’t know where to start only has their own lack of basic research to blame.

This is very different to what I’d select but is also great. Too much choice for Thee Oh Sees

Their official, released by an actual record label, Best Of album is 32 songs and 77 minutes long so :man_shrugging:

Mate, you read the rules. It doesn’t matter how good:

  • You Know You’re Right
  • Aneurysm (although the original b-side version is better than Incesticide’s)
  • Sliver/Sliver

are, they are excluded from this.

20 minutes and 50% more songs worse in fact!
