Escape is at Hand. Words cannot express how much I love that song. As RG said, its brilliant.
Runner-up would be Meridian, which holds a special place as its the first Hip song I ever heard.

Grace, Too

Nautical Disaster
There are a ton of close seconds, though. For example, the whole Day for Night album. Best album ever recorded, period. (But I guess that's for another post :wink: )

my pick(s) would have to be When the Weight Comes Down. everytime I listen to it I get all choked up, the lyrics are just so beautiful.
But I can't forget about Locked, its my favourite opening in a song EVER

I Had a couple Hip cd's back in the early 90's, even seen the band live in 93 but it wasn't until a "headphone-late-night-beer-drenched" listen to Nautical Disaster that I "got hooked" and understood how great this band truly is!
1.Nautical
2.Pistols (1st hip song i heard)
3.Escape

I would have go with Nautical as well. It has been my favourite song since I heard it for the first time, in the middle of NOIS at ARA 93. Second would definetly be Meridian (especially the various live versions).

I,m not sure why, but Emperor Penguin has always been my favorite. Used to be Nautical until Phantom Power. The completist would probably be a close second.
