I've had Sloan phases, 54-40 phases, Headstones phases, Zeppelin phases, Talking Heads phases, even Yes phases, but I always come back to the Hip. They're the only band whose CDs I have to buy the DAY they come out, and new CDs tend to get played non-stop for a week or two. I always see them when they come to town, every show if they're doing a multi-night stand. This is the only band-related board I post to, and they're the only band that's ever inspired me to go searching the net for their unreleased and live material.

So yeah, favorite band.
