We should do album cover art as well

It's no secret WATS the first to go

It would be a fierce battle between WATS and the EP.

Oh my Lord, there is no comparison between the EP and any mature Hip album, including WATS. The EP is borderline juvenilia, WATS a mixed bag from an accomplished band.

Another option is a poll putting all of the album champions against each other. Would be some very tough choices there.

I'm up for anything, album winners, albums in general as was previously mentioned, solo albums (although admittedly Im probably only really familiar enough with Gords solo work...I liked the Strippers Union albums and have Paul's but haven't listened to it enough to really vote ), etc. These have been fun and have definitely helped to keep the forums active.

Certainly up for the solo stuff but I have a few Hip plans to finish up:

Albums (also love the album artwork idea!)
All Weakest
All Champions
Opening Track
Closing Track
Lead single
Top 20 singles

That will probably keep us going for at least the rest of the year.

Just wait until we start doing the Weakest Link in the bootleg club! We will do a round for each tour! We are starting with Fully and Completely tour. About 50 shows. We will eliminate 1 show at a time. Make sure you listen to them all before voting! My idea for the 2nd part is elimate each and every single version of Courage out there until we are left with only one. After we finally crown the single best version of Courage of all time, we will rince and repeat with another song.

I think I could be good well into my nineties here.

Juvenile is a good word for it. To be honest, I'm surprised the boys have kept it in print.

More than I expected too. Wasn't there speculation on if it would throw a no hitter ?

Which album champion won with the most votes/largest margin? I recall locked/100th and emperor/escape being closer than I'd have expected as well.

All bronze medalists
