So, as Canadians, we know that The Hip are no more since St. Gord died, right? Its been long enough and we need to have a serious discussion about who's going to take their place as the spirit of Canada and Our Band. The Barenaked Ladies is at best a temporary solution and Nickleback is loving awful. So, who is the new Hip or are they completely irreplaceable as Our Band?

The only people I've ever met who like the Tragically Hip are middle-aged men and eccentric yet endearing English professors.

When you're driving across the country and you finally pick up a radio station playing the Hip you know you're heading back into civilization. Nothing can replace that.

gord going so insane that his brain rotted itself to death is no reason why The Hip can't forever remain canada's band any singer/poet/songwriter that wants to take that crown, you either go just as insane and die as gord did or you fail

For a lot of dirty Europeans we assume that a lot of Canadian stars are actually from the US unless they explicitly say they are not. I did not know that Neil Young, Drake, Nelly Furtado, K. D. Lang and Leonard Cohen were Canadian until very recently.

Make sure you check out John Samson's solo stuff the recent one especially is basically a Weakerthans reunion album it's really good. The Hip are good. They are very famous in Canada and basically unknown in most of the USA outside of the most northeast. Here's a good song. Actually a great song, an all time great rock song imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6QDjDPRF5c

He's on bipolar meds now, still kicking out albums and doing tours. He went on tour with Our Lady Peace a couple years ago, which given their history isn't the weirdest, most unlikely thing to have happened recently, but only because *gestures vaguely at everything*

My experience is the same, minus the English professors. I would put Barenaked Ladies and Nickleback in the same basket, but to be fair Tragically Hip is a bit better? New Orleans Is Sinking was a good song, at least.

When I got to england some brits were asking me about music in canada and I was blown away that they'd never heard of the Hip. apparently canadian content laws gave me a real skewed vision of what consituted popular radio music and canadian bands are mostly anonymous overseas.
