I was hoping you guys can help me settle a discussion I recently had with a friend.
My claim (and Im not sure Im right either) is that Hip has become overall a more popular band to Canadians than Rush is/was.
While I admitted that worldwide, Rush's popularity outgains The Hip, for this discussion I was only referring to the impact and importance on music lovers, in their native country. (please note, Im not asking for opinions on who you think is a better band).
I apologize if this topic has been batted around before, but I am looking forward to the opinions of our Canadian Hipbase contingency. I also understand in no way do the opinions expressed prove anything, (and may be a bit biased, seeing that Im asking this question on a Hip fan site) growing up I was a huge Rush fan (and still am) Im just interested in others opinions.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks
