Just heard on Edge 102.1 in Toronto, they are having a survey to determine if the Hip are still the Kings of Canadian New Rock. Personally, I think the torch has been passed from Rush to them a while ago, and its going to be a long time before anyone assumes that role from the Hip. Today's music all sounds the same, and everyone's own records sound the same from one to the other. There is some great Canadian talent out there, but no one with the musical and lyrical talent and longevity that the Hip have enjoyed. They will be the kings until they're done as a band, and even after that, it will be hard to match, maybe not their commercial success, but certainly their effect on Canada, Canadian culture and Canadian music.

Is it a Barry Interesting Survey? Barry Taylor, a DJ on Edge102, chooses a Barry Interesting topic for a survey each day. He also tells Barry Funny jokes.
Good stuff in the afternoon.

Agreed, although I listen to it at least 3 hours a day due to work. I'm really getting sick of hearing 'float on' - modest mouse three times in one 8 hour work day...and the morning show isn't funny... and Josie is the biggest ditz in the world...ohh i could go on.
