I'm not Canadian, but a Brit living in the USA for the last 14 years. However TTH is by far my favourite rock band. My wife likes them so much she wants to move to Canada.

My selection from each album would be

EP - Last American Exit
UTH - When the Weight Comes Down
RA - Cordelia
FC - Fully Completely
DFN - Grace Too
TATH - Ahead by a Century
LBU - Fully Completely
PP - Escape Is at Hand for the Travellin' Man
M@W - My Music at Work
IVL - It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken
IBE - Mean Streak
WC - Family Band

There are several tracks I'd rank even higher than a few of these, but they are on the same album as one already listed:

Poets, Bobcaygeon, Vapour Trails, The Rules, Emperor Penguin, World Container, Nautical Disaster, The Darkest One

Also brilliant, but just slightly less wonderful:

Imposibilium, Gus, Vaccination Scar, Yawning or Snarling, New Orleans Is Sinking, At the Hundredth Meridian, Locked in the Trunk of a Car, Tiger the Lion, Putting Down, Something On, Fireworks, Chagrin Falls, Gift Shop, Blow at High Dough, Yer Not the Ocean, In View, Fly, Luv(sic), The Kids Don't Get It, Pretend, The Drop-Off

There are absolutely no Hip tracks I don't like and very few Hip tracks I don't love. The least favourite are:

I'm a Werewolf, Baby
Cemetery Sideroad
Coconut Cream
Sherpa

My favourite albums in sequence:

PP
WC
FC
DFN
UTH
IVL
IBE
M@W
RA
LBU
TATH
EP

The great thing about seeing the Hip in the USA is the venues are usually intimate and the sound is great. I hope they come to Phoenix again soon without the Who.

Happy New Year to the Hip and all their fans.

well, that was a comprehensive post!

anyway, taking advantage of this bump, im going to list mine again:

EP - Last American Exit
UTH - She Didnt Know
RA - Little Bones
FC - Locked
DFN - IOD (but ive had Titanic Terrarium stuck in my head for a month now)
TATH - Flamenco
PP - Chagrin Falls
M@W - Stay
IVL - Dire Wolf
IBE - Josephine
WC - Yer not the ocean (everything but Pretend; that song is shti)

[tigerthelion]

EP- Last American Exit
UTH- Blow (although Boots and NOIS are right on its heels)
RA- Bring It All Back
FC- At The Hundredth Meridian
DFN- So Hard Done By
TATH- Ahead By A Century
PP- Bobcaygeon
M@W- Tiger the Lion
IVL- Beautiful Thing
IBE- Heart of the Melt
WC- World Container (I'm on a WC kick right now because of Gord's vocals on that song)

Of course, how can one pick only one favourite song from a masterpiece like DFN? I could choose almost every song on that album.

I know I'm being "uncool" for picking singles like ABAC and Bobcaygeon instead of other less known song but, dang, they're both masterpieces.
