The BEST album!
#16

direwolf74 Wrote:Phantom Power is my sentimental favorite for many reasons, but I decided to vote for IVL instead. I love everything the Hip have done, but I usually gravitate towards the newer stuff. I've always felt that the best Hip album is always the latest one.

Even music at work? I think that's their weakest album, I try and try and still can't get into it.

Music@Work has some weak moments (Freak Turbulence, Wild Mountain Honey) but I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as people say it is. Songs like Music, Tiger, Lake Fever, TO#4, and the Bear are some of the Hip's best work in my opinion. I even like the Bastard and Train Overnight which are two songs that Hip fans seem to despise. But hey, that's me.

I like Freak Turbulance. But I've been to two seperate shows (Including Boston3 with Casey in '02) where Freak was scheduled in the encore and then dropped in favour of something else... I wonder if the band doesn't like it.

The Bastard is one of my Fav Hip songs period, I like Wild Mountain Honey alot , I cannot see how it's a weak song..In any way , lyrically or otherwise. I understand how peoples opinions differ, I just see nothing wrong with it.

Oh, man. Turbulence is like my favourite song on that record! Agh! Maybe it's just hard to play. The only cut I have a problem with on M@W, or out of the entire Hip catalogue is the Completists. It's like Alanis Morrisette only without the attitude.

And I'll admit the end of DFN is a little offputting at first, but it grew on me.

The Completist and The Bastard are 2 of my favorite Hip songs... I never understood why M@W gets such a bad rap.... I think it great from beginning to end...

music at work was at the bottom of the list for a long time till i had a copy at work and kept playing it on days i forgot to bring in cd's. now its probablyt middle of the pack. lake fever is great and puttin down is a keeper. trouble at the henhouse, as much as i try to like it, is my least favorite.

1. dark canuck
2. fire in the hole
3. killing time
4. another midnight
5. butts wigglin'
6. looking for a place to happen
7. tiger the lion
8. escape is at hand...
9. 3 pistols
well 9, hopefully 1 of ibe will get in there, and i will be a truthfull man once again!

I don't know why people tend not to like Trouble. There are some real gems in the second half. I loved M@W when it first came out. In retrospect, it's a bit long and cryptic even by Gord's standards, but I still like it a lot.

we all have our own personal reasons why each album is significant. for me, music at work album, brings me to a different place. i love cottaging in the muskokas, and when im not there, this album brings me there. just a relaxing, "sit out by the lake" album. :thumb:

For me it's Fully Completely. Definate "summertime dusk" album. This is my favorite time of all. Best time to fire up the Q or to go for a beer on a pub patio. Friday evening trek along 7 to my cottage, perhaps. For some reason FC just seems to compliment any activity I'm doing at this time of day.... Big Grin

I can't wait to sit out on a deck and listen to the new album with a beer in my hand... :thumb:

I think I was put off with TATH just because of Butts. It came out earlier on the Brain Candy soundtrack and I just hated it. I also really don't like Cream. It is the only hip album I actually don't like all of the songs. I really like the album but still skip Butts and Cream.

It's great to see a lot more votes on this poll. I started this thread over a year ago and not very many people voted!

So Day For Night is in first with Fully Completley right behind it. I'm surprised to see Phantom Power creeping up though. Up To Here is in 4th. I'd like to see this get up to 2 or 3 hundred votes. It would be interesting.

I still like Road Apples the best! I probably always will.
