FC gets my vote. I know it's "the classic Hip album," and I love many of the songs on it. But the production is terrible and it sounds very flat. That said, I believe DFN and PP are easily the Hip's strongest albums. DFN is dark and brooding. PP is upbeat and perhaps some of their strongest songwriting. For me, DFN takes the cake, but these deserve to be the top three. Fare thee well, Fully Completely.

I'm gonna do this a bit piecemeal. FC has three lowish points: Looking for a Place to Happen, We'll Go Too, and The Wherewithal.
PP has four lowish points: Save The Planet, Fireworks (barf), The Rules, and Chagrin Falls.
Advantage FC
Epic, defining tunes on FC: Courage, Hundredth, Locked, 50 MC, Wheat Kings
Epic, defining tunes on PP: Poets, Bobcaygeon
Advantage FC
Others on FC: Pigeon Camera is ++, Lionized is +/-, Fully Completely is +, Eldorado is +
Others on PP: Something On is +, Thompson Girl is +/-, Membership is +/-, Escape is ++, Emperor Penguin is ++
Advantage PP
Final Score: FC 2, PP 1
Gotta vote off PP.

Oh and PS, I'm just assuming DFN wins the whole thing.

^ Your math checks out - even if my heart says to protect PP. In fact, FC is probably the Hip album I listen to the least. Not that it's necessarily my least favourite, but it's just so over-played. Not the records fault..but I'm desensitized to it. Biases aside; credit where credit is due. PP gets my vote.
