I agree with yawning and pines. For me the weakest song on day for night is titanic, but that doesn't mean i think its not a good song. higway girl is one of my favorite songs that i've heard on the older boots. I'm not sure in what respect highway girl is viewed by others.

Few songs have "hit me" the first time listening to them, with the Tragically Hip I have had that feeling 3 times...the first was with Nautical Disaster...hardly an underrated songs...perhaps one of their most popular. The other 2 are Makeshift As We Are off of IBE, time will only tell if it dwells in obscurity (I sincerely hope not, because it truly is great). But the last song, The Dire Wolf could be their most underrated song of all time, it is remarkable to think that not many people have even had a chance to listen to this potential classic.
Spread the word ...

Wow, thought I was the only one with Dire Wolf on my greatest hits mix. Nice to know I'm not alone.

The Dire Wolf's chorus is quite possibly the best one they've ever written (as far as hook goes) and i was really suprised that it wasn't released as a single, why'd they only release 3 singles from IVL anyway?

The Luxury.
Soft water, color tv. I just love the idea of Gord on the road, making random observations, and this one just really standing out.
This is definately one of my favourites off of RA. The bass line is just killer modified blues; the whole song for that matter. It just screams the blues.

I'm just glad people are gushing about The Dire Wolf... I think when there was a top 10 posting a few weeks back, i listed it at number 4 or something... like someone else mentioned, that song hit me like a ton of bricks the first time i heard it...it's astounding...its up there with nautical and Bones for me, just personally.
