Not in My Airforce (1996) Waved Out (1998)

Not in My Airforce (1996) is the debut solo album by American indie rock musician Robert Pollard, released simultaneously with Tobin Sprout's Carnival Boy, just as the "classic" Guided by Voices lineup was dissolving.

In 2007, Pollard launched a new record label, Prom Is Coming Records, which took its name from a track off this album.
