Anything beating Emporer Penguin is a physical impossibility.

hands down...last of the unplucked gems

I remember reading that the Hip said GEMS marked a shift in the future musical direction of the band. What's a more appropriate closer than something looking towards the future?

I will say that the extended version they play live helped make my decision.

I have a three way tie going on...Emperor Penguin, Dark Canuck, and Goodnight Josephine. All three are just top notch, in my opinion. However, I will always have a soft spot for Emperor Penguin. Smile

I've always had a sweet spot for Eldorado...really surprised nobody's mentioned it yet.

Yeah Gems is a killer ender, same with Opiated and Josephine. Hey they've got a knack for album enders.

Eldorado is definately my favourite....sheer genious, and so beautiful. Almost has a hypnotic quality to it. It literally puts me in a trance.

...whats that ticking?

Eldorado and Penguin for me.

Just because both songs make me want to go out and accomplish something, and listen to the discs again, simultaneously.

My fave is Eldorado. But Emperor Penguin and Unplucked Gems are way up there.

Dark Canuck and Impossibilium, don't know why but I really dig both of them a lot.

"Gonna have me three children, Apple, Zippo and Metronome" also love the woooh part Gord throws in there.

Canuck, I find it is very close to "band on the run", but maybe it's just me, however the song just consumes me when I hear it.
