Who Influence?



Has anyone else heard the Dayton, Ohio band Guided by Voices?  Am I alone in 
detecting a familiar influence upon this band?

Robert Pollard, singer/songwriter for the band, is on record as saying Who's 
Next is his favourite album.  There seem to be a lot of other influences 
(Bowie, Beatles, etc), but certain songs (on "Alien Lanes") bear at least a 
passing resemblance to the 'Oo of the 66-68 period.  They'd do a wicked 
cover of Pictures of Lily, I think.

Cheers,

Gary
