Just remember with FC, to look past the production. To me it sounds like the whole thing was recorded through a sock - but it's still great! Courage was definitely remixed for Yer Favourites (I'm not 100% sure about the others) 
There are some really strong songs on there.
I agree with your point about all the albums sounding different, but with the underlyin similarity. I think that's part of the reason I like them, as you can really track their progression. I'm also suprised that they didn't break onto the world stage more with the likes of Pearl Jam. I do get the feeling that they write and sing about very Canadian things though, which might explian why people in other countries didn't really connect with them, but why they are so huge over there.
I didn't really get into The Hip until about 2002, but like they say, better late than never! :thumb:
