Ok, now that the video for the Darkest One is out there, I'm curious to hear where everyone would rank it in comparison to the others the band has done...

What are your top 3 favorite Hip videos?

To get the ball rolling, for me it would be:

1) Thugs
2) The Darkest One
3) Bobcaygeon

For a refresher, see:

I'm sure there'll be lots of discussion on this one...but that's what we're here for, right?

Great Topic

1. Locked In The Trunk Of A Car (Gord is very animated, amazing)
2. My Music At Work (Gords Dancing is Great)
3. The Darkest One (I like the shot of them all playing in the trailer)

You know, I hate to say it, but I'm not that impressed with The Darkest One. Frankly, the Hip's videos over the years have been pretty weak.
However, if I was to rank my top three, they would be:

1. Nautical
2. Thugs
3. Something On

Mats aka Bry.

Hmmm...

Locked
Nautical
Meridian

Maybe thats because the hip dont depend on videos to promote themselves. instead they rely on their music, something not very common in todays music world.

Ta da !

1.Poets
2.Gift Shop
3.Darkest One

O.K. so i dug thru all my cd`s with my stuff on them and first off i think i have to give credit to Fear_No_Art_ as he was the first thing i saw on my vids?......but i think my fav`s are

Darkest One hock:
Music @ Work
Ahead By A Century
Locked In The Trunk

As i was surfin thru all the stuff i got on cd i think the best was the hip on saturday night live with Dan Ackroyd introducing the band and the two songs being grace too and nautical disaster....(funny seein Gord with hair) but a great show......Cheers Tiny

Exactly, that's why we all love 'em, however, for us Hipster's it would be nice to see a really good "performance" video from the guys. You know, a well produced "live" video.

Bry aka Owen, I mean Mats.

I don't think I've ever seen the video for Something On. What's in it?

[dannya2]

i like silver jet because it is kind of a live type video....ie gord and his dancing and the finger gun

i really like the darkest one, don cherry is in it enough said...

and i have to say i also like grace, too

I would have to agree that the Hip's earlier videos were more interesting, but it is still pretty tough to pick 3,
1. Ahead by a Century,
2. Thugs,
3. Poets ( do you think putting the pot in the fish tank was sort of a stunt to gain interest from a younger crowd? )

the pot in the fish tank was a "little plug" for a hydroponics store in Kingston, the boys know the owner !!

Where can I download the Grace, Too and Nautical disaster vidoes (Not live).. or did they even make videos for that song??

[CanuckCourage]

You can get both of them off of Kazaa Lite (make sure it's lite) . Kazaa Lite's great for Hip Mpegs.

[Tom Thomson]

Thanks.

I have kazaa lite, and have like every other hip video except those two. But are you sure they are actual videos not the live tapings from Saturday Night Live? I have a 56k modem and can't really afford to download a video I already have! :lol:
