The Hip Nominated for Polaris Heritage Prize! (You can vote) - chagrinfalls - 09-27-2016

The Hip's 'Fully Completely' has been nominated for the 2016 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize.

The Polaris Music Prize is a not-for-profit organization that annually honours and rewards artists who produce Canadian music albums of distinction. And the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize in particular honours Canadian albums OF THE PAST from four distinct time periods: 1960-75, 1976-85, 1986-95 and 1996-05. To quote the website:

"Like the Polaris Music Prize, winners and nominees for the Heritage Prize are albums of the highest artistic quality, without regards to sales or affiliations. Think of the Heritage Prize as our version of a hall of fame where we try to determine who would have won the Polaris Music Prize in the years before Polaris existed.
How it works is a select group of Canadian music media and historians gather together each year to create a vote-curated list of 10 Short List-nominated albums per era. Two albums per era, one chosen by public vote and one chosen by juror vote, will be designated as Heritage Prize winners each year.A select panel of music critics judge and award the Prize without regard to musical genre or commercial popularity."

Visit the website to vote (one nominee from each period, 'Fully Completely' is 1986-1995)! Spread the word, if you so choose :

I get that few people here are a fan of the genre, but Symphony in Effect is a great rap album.

Obviously I voted Hip but dear God there are some epic records on that list.

Although my vote went to FC, Jagged Little Pill is one of my all-time favourite not-so-guilty pleasures.

That John Oswald album cover made me do a double take.

I own and enjoy both it and the follow up, which I might actually like more :oops:

You're correct. Infatuation Junkie is also great, if not better.

For me it was a tough call between FC and Five Days in July, which is equally great. But my vote ended up going to the Hip.

I realize that's an iconic album and everything, but personally I never liked it. I'm not a fan of Alanis at all, really. But I honestly think she made much better records later in her career.

seriously. that's why when I posted the info initially, I didn't go too over the top. It's not actually a popularity contest, & there are amazing albums in all the categories.

Plus, to be honest, FC is not in my top 3 Hip albums. I have the sense that the consensus here, & even with the Hip themselves, is that FC is potentially their best album, so I know I'm a minority viewpoint.

Thank god 'man cards' are dependent on things like character, being a good person & caring about other people, rather than ridiculous things like refusing to acknowledge greatness in women, being insecure about your masculinity & beating the shit out of people, right?
