Bands like Tragically Hip and Blue Rodeo, both veteran acts lasting over 20 years - although barely known outside of Canada - truly represent the best of the Canadian scene. These are bands that just dont give a shit about 'trends' or market demographics. They just write and play music, that's all.

Let me know what you think of 'Yer Favorites.' Fans picked the tunes for the record, not the band or the record company. There are many others that don't appear on it that I would have picked. These guys are a band with depth. For sure my favorite band of the 1990's. It's probably as good a starting point as any. It goes from 1989 to 2004, although the band has released two more records since then, and no songs from them are on Yer Favorites. (World Container 2006 and We Are The Same 2009)

With the Tragically Hip, like with any good band, many of their best tracks are the deep album tracks, and along with the rock and roll, you get real, honest, thought-provoking lyrics from an intelligent songwriter and lyricist.
