What would your list look like if someone asked you to " Name the ten best Tragically Hip songs released over the last decade."
Your list can only include songs from the albums Music at Work, In Violet Light, In Between Evolution, World Container and We are the Same as well as any singles or bonus tracks released during this time period.
The songs don't have to be ranked in order and you can use any criteria you'd like when determining the 10 best.
Good Luck.

This kind of stuff is always a challenge, so much excellent material to choose from. Besides for me its a moving target - I would probably come up with a different list a couple of months from now.
It feels so weird to think that Music@Work was actually that long ago; it still seems so recent. Anyways:
The Completists
Freak Turbulence
Throwing Off Glass
All Tore Up
Goodnight Josephine
Vaccination Scar
World Container
Family Band
The Last Recluse
Country Day

I made a list, checked it thrice, and had to cut:
The Dire Wolf
Puttin' Down
Queen of the Furrows
Now The Struggle Has A Name
Summer's Killing Us
Luv(Sic)
Yer Not The Ocean
Tough.
(In no particular order; and this changes from day to day.)

That is incredibly hard and it shows just how great all the material for the past 10 years is as I could do this list 3 more times without a duplicate track. Yes it is 11 songs - I am not capable of removing one for another here.
hmm I really should have The New Maybe and Throwing Off Glass and Leave and World Container and Queen of the Furrows and Copenhagen and .... never mind
