Damn that was hard, and I didn't mean to shaft World Container but I can't think of a single song off that album I'd put alongside the ones here.

Great Lists!! Thanks for contributing and please keep them coming.
I'm somewhat surprised at the large variety of songs represented. I think every song on Music at Work has been mentioned and just about all the songs from IVL and IBE. It really shows the diversity and uniqueness of the Hip's music. Especially over the last decade.
Nice to see Dire Wolf and Josephine getting so many votes. They are 2 of my personal favourites and might be close to cracking my all time top 10.
Honestly, I think Country Day kinda sucks, should've been left off of the album in favour of Skeleton Park or Hush, IMO.

Shaft 'Frozen in my Tracks'.
Put on Hush.

Shaft 'Frozen in my Tracks'.
Put on Hush.
Agreed.
No way, that would essentially be neutering the album, that's the most rockin' song on there!

...evidently, I love songs with "the" starting the title. 5 out of 10, weird.

Not a chance in hell.
First off, Country Day is one heck of a closer to the album. The entire build up in the song and how it just starts to finish. The violins come in and all. It is a damn good end to listen to on the drive home from work.

Work we understand, we don't want too much
I have just found FIMT way too 'pop-like'. The whole call-and-response with the 'WHOO-OOO', and even the way it is interacted with the crowd in live environments, just gives that feel. It is the only song that really never grew on me over the what, 100 times I have spun this record. I have given it the time and it just hasn't done the trick. I was iffy about The Exact Feeling and Honey, Please at first, but now, they are decent.
The Depression Suite is rocking. Speed River is rocking. Queen of the Furrows is rocking.
"THIS IS HOW I FEEL"
P.S. - I just feel like talking tonight because I am writing an essay on the Hip for History or Rock & Roll class. But yeah, giv'r.
