Robert Pollard isn't just a hilarious drunk, he's also one of the most prolific recording artists in popular music. He's released 22 albums since 1987, and that's just studio albums under the Guided by Voices umbrella. This isn't counting EPs, live albums, solo recordings, or even his album comprised entirely of soused stage banter (wonderfully titled Relaxation of the Asshole).

Still, 22 albums don't even tell the full story of Pollard's output. Most of his efforts are packed to the brim with material - 15, 20 songs or more per super-stuffed record. His LPs are brimming with ideas, sometimes half-baked and frequently beautiful music that explores every wandering notion that breezes by. The miracle is that the quality has remained mostly high for all of these years.

There's more than a little bit of Pollard DNA in the output of Brock Ginther.
