Other than the Hip being my favourite band, most of my other answers would vary by the day. And I'm going to cheat because I can't pick just one for most of these categories.

Band: The Hip (honourable mentions Pearl Jam, My Morning Jacket, Silversun Pick-ups)
Individual Artist or Singer: Neil Young (honourable mentions: Ryan Adams, Tom Petty)
Albums: The Verve "Urban Hymns", REM "New Adventures in Hi-Fi", Silversun Pick-ups "Swoon", My Morning Jacket "It Still Moves", GNR "Appetite for Destruction", Pink Floyd "Animals"
Songs: STP "Interstate Love Song", Alice-in-Chains "Nutshell", Silversun Pick-ups "Panic Room", U2 "Cedarwood Road", The Verve "Weeping Willow", Neil Young "Revolution Blues"
Concert Experience: My Morning Jacket at Bonnaroo 2006, Oasis at Molson Park 1996, Hip at Harbour Station in Saint John 1995, U2 at Fleet Center in Boston 2005, Headstones at The Bank in Saint John 1995.
Movie Soundtracks: Singles (any soundtrack with State of Love and Trust, Would?, and Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns on it is going to be a winner - I played the shit of this one in the 90's)

[cochise]

Heck, I'll bite

Band: tied Rolling Stones/Tragically Hip
Individual Artist or Singer: Bob Dylan
Album: Stones - Exile on Main Street
Song: tough one but have to go with Zeppelin - Kashmir
Concert Experience: Peter Gabriel - Secret World Tour '93 (so many concerts, none have ever topped this experience)
Movie Soundtrack: Still Crazy (all originals, but kind of good). Second choice, not sure why but I always love listening to Tarantino's soundtrack for Death Proof

Almost forgot about this thread...Really fun reading here. I find it fascinating knowing what fellow fans of a particular band (the Hip in this case) also like. To be honest the answers so far aren't surprising.

Band - U2. First love of my life.

Individual Artist or Singer - Kevin Hearn

Album - Graceland by Paul Simon. Grew up listening to this so it's full of nostalgia for me.

Song - Running To Stand Still by U2

Concert Experience - Most fun was Gorillaz Plastic Beach Tour tied with Flaming Lips in 2012. Most memorable will always be first time I saw u2 in 1997 for Popmart which also happened to be my very 1st rock concert at age 12. Talk about starting at the top.

Movie Soundtrack - Trainspotting followed by anything else by Danny Boyle followed by Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. In fact all my favourite movies are generally dictated by how good their soundtracks are.

WATS is your favorite album of all time? cratch: cratch:

This was the toughest answer for me. I sat there and changed it a few times...but obviously the hip means a lot to all of us and even more lately. This album means a lot to me because of when it came out. It was when my girlfriend and I started dating and it's the tour we saw our show first together. Just a lot of memories attached to it. I don't think it's the best album of all time..just have a lot of good memories attached to it, so it's one of my favourites to spin and it always puts a smile on my face. I do think it's a really solid album though.

The question was "yer favourite.." Not the best of all time..

[sonichka11]

The question was "yer favourite.." Not the best of all time..

Same reason I picked Graceland. I know exactly what you mean.

Exactly...Music is an emotional experience, so everyone has those albums or songs that remind us of some important/special times. WATS reminds me of when I met the most incredible person in my life..

Give me your favourite....

The Hip would top most, if not all of these so all answers are non-Hip

Band: The Cave Singers, Fleet Foxes, the War on Drugs
Individual Artist or Singer: Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn
Album: Welcome Joy by the Cave Singers, Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
Song: Shrine by the Cave Singers, Drops in the River by Fleet Foxes
Concert Experience: Primus and Arcade Fire at Bonnaroo 2011, White Stripes (Icky Thump and Blue Orchid tours at Molson Amphitheatre), Fleet Foxes at Massey Hall, the first time I saw the Mahones (at the Mansion in Kingston a few days before St. Patrick's Day about 5 years ago)
Movie Soundtrack: Out of the Furnace with original music by Dickon Hinchcliffe. The move also opens and closes with Pearl Jam's Release. I don't think a movie's ever ended with a more perfect song. (hat tip to potsie for putting Pearl Jam in my head)

[arewhyehen]

Concert Experience: White Stripes (Icky Thump and Blue Orchid tours at Molson Amphitheatre)

Jealous..
