"Essential" Guide to The Tragically Hip - gsmacleod - 08-19-2016

This popped up on my Facebook feed today - did a quick search and didn't see it previously posted.

This article makes me think of Homer Simpson saying "Everyone knows rock achieved perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact." only this time it's 1998.

I personally would move Pantom Power to #1 (1998, indeed!), and bump Up To Here for Man Machine Poem. I understand that NOiS and BaHD warrant consideration, but I think MMP is a far superior album, and will be considered one of their finest in the fullness of time. Also, I take exception to the idea of avoiding Music@Work, as I adore that album almost completely from top to bottom. I understand it's not as "essential", or popular, but damn I love it.

But that's the beauty of music - it speaks to us each differently, but as long as it speaks to us, it's doing its job.
