Im doing a tragically hip 15 greatest hits CD and I want to get some input on what 15 songs should be put on number 1 being the best and 2 for second best and so on. I will take all the names down up till December 15th, 2004 then I will tally up the votes and put them on here.
Based on Trackorder. I couldnt give them a ranking so I left it up to flow. This would be based on singles they released to make it more of a possible release
Grace, Too
Springtime in Vienna
Little Bones
New Orleans is Sinking
Its a good life if you don't weaken
Ahead By A Century
Courage
Bobcaygeon
Pigeon Camera
Nautical Disaster
Gus: The Polar bear from Cenral Park
Thugs
Lake Fever
The Darkest One
Blow at High Dough
singles besides pigeon camera...or was that a single too?
If you use the "Search" feature of this site, I am sure you can find loads of information on this topic already - complete with polls, rankings, and dissertations.
Well i would use it but i would rather get people's opinion instead of a statistic because it's much more reliable.
Cameron - do you know something that you are not telling us by any chance?

It depends for me. Is this a Hip CD you or one that your giving to someone who may not be familiar with the Hip? I would pick very different songs depending on who the intended recipient is.

1. Fifty Mission Cap
2. Blonde Solid
3. The Dire Wolf
4. Everytime You Go
5. Fully Completely
6. Membership
7. Nautical Disaster
8. Escape Is At Hand
9. Lake Fever
10. Get Back Again
11. Leave
12. Three Pistols
13. Vaccination Scar
14. Ahead By A Century
15. Bobcaygeon
16. Goodnight Josephine
Beautiful...a thing of beauty

Trevor's suggestion would give you exactly that: detailed opinions and observations that are accompanied by tabulated votes for best off this CD, best off that CD, best live, best unreleased, best single, etc.
I'm amazed at the wealth of detailed opinion-based pre-posted information this site has. It truly is the quintessential Hip database!
