It also represents a darker sound than typically appears as a greatest hit.Not all of the songs might be huge crowdpleasers, but the Hip were reaching for something deeper.

Needs to be played more live... Hopefully in 2015 tour! Fellow Kingstonian Sarah Harmer lends her haunting vocals to the standout track “The Lookahead.” Downie’s lyrics are damaged and resilient, inspired by his wife’s diagnosis with lung cancer. Absolute masterpiece. Why it doesn't even crack the top ten is beyond me. During their 32-year career, spanning 14 studio albums and millions of records sold, the Tragically Hip have become synonymous with Canadian music. There’s no definitive best song for a record chock-full of them. These mainstays are a strong outline of how the Hip developed after the whirlwind recording schedule of their first albums. A wise — if occasionally baffling — poet in a hockey jersey, Downie's thoughtfulness has resulted in hundreds of songs with keenly observed moments of grace, intimacy and art, seeing stories where no one else bothered to look (like the trunk of a car or a prison break or Bill Barilko), and his vision for what could be a "Hip" song is never more staggering than this record. “If you’re a musician and you’re born in Canada it’s in your DNA to like the Tragically Hip,” City and Colour’s Dallas Green told The Canadian Press. In terms of contribution, the real uncontested fan favourite is “Ahead by a Century.” Acoustic, and softer than the majority of the album, the song is already an old friend at first listen. Awesome song!
I'm sad another fave hip song it should be the second.
Phantom Power was a perfect first decade wrap-up for the Hip. And the new release largely delivered. Not standard rock fodder, but a perfect example of the Hip's depth. It's so hard to pick one favourite song! Then little bones, then three pistols, this song are the best they did it has that classic rock feel, and the newer song they sang are sappy and not like the Album UP TO HERE or Road Apples ot Fully Completly, those were there best years. Phantom Power (1998) was released at the tail end of the pantheon of early work most fans celebrate the Hip for, and it might be their most underrated album. There’s a good case for the argument that this is one of the most accurately rated Hip songs around.
Perhaps the world had moved on from the Hip's straightforward rock coupled with the thinking person's lyrics, embracing a more Nickelback-like aesthetic.
Where the previous album pushed for stadium-filling sounds, We are the Same is more conversational, more aimed at relaxing and reveling in a band refusing the status quo. The sophomore slump is hard to shake. Great song to dance to, this gets everyone on the dance floor. Drama? This one just grabs me a little more. Great guitar riffs. For all the critiques of the album’s darker turns, the band strikes a powerful balance between the expansive and the intimate.

As well as illustrating the poem like writing of the hip. This song is the one I heard first while traveling in CA.
Being followed immediately on the track list by Fireworks might have something to do with that. You can't go wrong cranking this one up on the box. Good party song!
— HG, Road Apples, the Hip's second record, sealed the band's Canrock sound and set the stage for bands like Our Lady Peace to rule the '90s. I adore the menacing riff. Comments are welcome while open. We reserve the right to close comments at any time.
There’s a wealth of gems here next to band staple “Bobcaygeon” and the broad strokes of album opener “Poets,” and the most evocative among them is the band’s intimate atmospheric tribute to late touring acquaintance Jim Ellison of Chicago’s Material Issue. One of the best alt rock songs I've ever heard. "Driving down a corduroy roadWeeds standing shoulder high...". Their records formed the bedrock of a new national musical identity, belonging to campfires and hockey arenas, emerging cities and quiet small towns. As a fan of acoustic rock songs this is crazy good, to all the fools who said Gord Downie didn't have a voice, listen to the high notes on this masterpiece. Love love this song! I will always remember the college years listening to this in the pub at UNB. There’s an Eric’s Trip reference, too. Kickin beat! The concert will be televised and live streamed, following a national outcry after the tour sold out in minutes, and Trudeau will be among the attendees. Music @ Work is accurately evaluated as an ill-informed step into arena-rock territory, but you have to give the Hip and their subversion of the genre some credit. The album’s centrepiece, “In a World Possessed by the Human Mind,” belongs on the list of Hip’s greatest songs. Filled with Downie's lyrical wit, the 2004 album is a par-for-the course Hip release. With this sixth album, Downie built on his title as lyrical heavyweight, name-dropping a small Ontario town in the same song that references the 1933 Christie Pits riots while poetically wrapping each verse so that it could be sung enthusiastically by every fan, regardless of their ties to the band's home province. And that's what they deliver within: a fine campfire record. This is a classic and wasn't even listed! While coming at the end of some of the band’s most classic period, Phantom Power proved the band had the depth to be a lifelong presence.
By all rights, no band has any right to release Up to Here as their first fully-fledged record. "It Can't Be Nashville Every Night" provides a classic Hip single — an upbeat, guitar riff-laden song awash with entendres and poetry — that failed to reach the band's earlier success. check. Here we have a rich, dramatic elegance reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen’s standout “The Killing Moon” coupled with the lyrical voice of a mad scientist, all filtered through Downie’s questioning poetics. Don't know why they don't play this live? Songs like "Morning Moon" and "Queen of the Furrows" stand out here and belong with the best of the band's work.
Downie was often a cipher with his lyrics, but the melancholy on the album is always filtered through understanding. It has all the makings of the band at their prime: power-chord choruses and pensive lyrics, the song is about the calm of making peace. I think this is by far, their best song. The album’s heart is in the weary, thoughtful mood on “It’s a Good Life, if You Don’t Weaken.” A patient, slow-to-unfold track, it’s a cathartic lesson in recovery and redemption after losses. Box 500 Station A Toronto, ON Canada, M5W 1E6. This album spans a lot for the Hip, and sometimes it feels like too much. The best Tragically Hip songs, in my opinion, are the ones that haunt you a little bit. This is one not for the arenas; this is for the close quarters, the intimate spaces.
Following the success of Up to Here, Road Apples solidified the band's trademark sound and sailed past the sophomore slump. Recorded mostly live with producer Hugh Padgham, it set much needed boundaries for the overly produced Music @ Work and ushered in some genuinely worthwhile art-rock, but by then a critical section of the band’s audience had been alienated.

It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon
For shame!
Fully Completely is the first sight of the band’s complete package. Watch the video of them singing this tune from SNL - gives you goose bumps! This doesn't detract from the album's well-written verses and on-the-nose assessment of the human condition that we've come to expect from Canada's band. Regardless, it’s the band at top-form, doing what it does best. Mainstream fans gave up on relying on the Hip to deliver suitable, reflective anthems for the Canadian experience by the mid-2000s, but here in World Container’s opener we have Downie detailing a familiar Ontario cottage luxury image, all while dealing a humbling message about man’s place in nature. However, when I'm not listening to any of them, and I really think about which one impacts me the most emotionally, I would say it would be Bobcaygeon. We are collecting data to better understand who is looking for work and what kind of opportunities jobseekers are searching for. Deep song, even if you can't relate, it makes you think. Easily the best Hip song of all time. It’s packed with tunes guaranteed to carry a party (“Three Pistols” and “Twist My Arm” particularly) but also introduced the mature introspection that would sometimes carry the band. The Hip has had so many great hits, but Bobcaygeon is Gord's best voice, the song that sets him apart. Cool song. An outstanding beginning... Mesmerizing, melodic, takes you deep within the song for a tranquil, settling ride... Definitely 1 of the Hip's best! To be driving late at night and for this to come on the radio, you crank up the volume and enjoy some of the best vocals ever sang, vocals that go deep and touch one's soul.

But this record came with slightly less notice than deserved.
Want more Rolling Stone? Deep, deep magic here. With huge fist-pumping tunes like “It Can’t Be Nashville Every Night” and “Vaccination Scar,” and the powerhouse storytelling on “Gus: The Polar Bear From Central Park,” it should have been more of a landmark.
This data is completely anonymous and non-personally identifiable. One of my all time favorite songs.
It describes so many of us so well, I really like this one but it's not my favourite, Good song but: yer not the ocean is better. That’s a win in my books.

Man Machine Poem’s release was inseparable from Downie’s diagnosis with brain cancer. The laidback country influences on “Morning Moon” and the downbeat “Coffee Girl” are great tracks, but they should be listened to alone. In Violet Light is easily the most underrated album in the Hip’s catalogue.
