I wonder hos many people are old enough to remember this one.
This one came out the same year as The Sex Pistols Grundy swearing incident.
Hannah Gardner acts like an angry mother. She never picked up on
the "Nieche was a punk" line.
I was only 12 or thirteen when this came on TV. It really terrified parents
all over Canada |

These guys used to run a speakeasy in Kensington market in Toronto.
Quite frankly filthy and dangerous . They played a lot at Larry's Hideaway. |

The Tragically Hip f.ucking suck. They sound like the rock music equivalent of elevator music, or the stuff doctors give you to make you go unconscious before surgery that involves cutting off your legs. I'd rather eat battery acid on three month old toast then listen to "The Hip" on Q104.3 (the station that played them on regular rotation).
I have been made fun of for my bad taste in music too. I like a lot of stuff scensters would consider "lame", "overproduced" or "too popular". Yet I can still tell when music is really bad, and The Tragically Hip are really bad.
As far as Canadian rock goes... Our Lady Peace > The Tragically Hip. |

Hmm. I see your Bunchof*uckinggoofs, and Hanson I see your Offenbach, and I raise you both two nomeansno side projects.
The Hanson Brothers (best hockey rock ever!)

Two Pin Din (andy kerr's new duo, with Wilf Plum, who used to play with 'the Ex,' the Dutch anarchist fruitcakes).

Sorry, brother HFX, nothing you or anyone else says about the Tragically Hip will ever change my opinion of them. I've seen them live 6 times and they've blown me away each time. Thousands of singing, hopping, sweating fans can't be wrong!
Granted, they've gotten a little old and aren't as good as they were in the 90's, but I'll take a Hip concert over many others any day.
It's a cool, sweet kind of place where the copters won't spot us....  |

Go to the video store in North America and ask for "American Hardcore". Make sure lots of small children and their folds are within earshot. After they stand away from you the counter person may direct you to where they keep this fantastic video about US punk. I raised by Henry Rollins (huge exageration) and Bad Brains (another fabrication). It was a great family to be in (truth).
You guys posted some cool links. It's frequent that people say "yeah, I was all punk rock and shit" and the truth was that they love the Cure and Simple Minds and never had a shot of Battalion of Saints to cure what ailed them.
Honestly though, I picked up a CD of The Exploited a year ago. Trash, utter trash. |

I second "American Hardcore" as a good documentary.
As for the Tragically Hip, Hanson, I contest your theory that thousands of sweating fans can't be wrong...I present exhibit A, the Nuremberg Rally of 1934...

I'm just being silly though, the Hip isn't THAT bad. But when I was a kid, my room-mates were in a band, and they played a lot of original songs that sounded like the Hip, and they played a lot of Hip covers, and by the time I was done living with them I basically hated all things Tragically Hip. I really can't be very objective about it, so I'll concede that they may well be a lot better than I think they are.
But for that kind of Canadian radio-friendly rock, though, I'd take the Rheostatics or 54-40 over the Hip any day. Of course, their shows are smaller, but they play good sets...I worked in a uni bar that always had them, the Rheos and 54-40 I mean, and I was really surprised how good they actually were. Nice people too.
Spirit of the West, on the other hand, or (shudder) 'Edwin...' good chirst on a bike, that stuff is harsh. Like, Nickelback harsh.
Your Wednesday Night Heroes got any good clips on Youtube, Racetraitor? |

Granted, they are better than "Theory of a-NickelCreed-Default" (Theory of a Dead Man, Nickelback, Creed and Default... the worst disgraces of generic rock music that everyone seemed to love in Canada).
If I'm on a date, talking to a girl and I ask her what kinds of music she likes, and she says "everything" I'll ask her to follow up on it. If she elaborates with "rock music" then I'll ask her to be more specific.
If the word "Nickleback" comes out of her mouth with positive connotations, then I'll promptly end the date, cut her arms and legs off and throw her in the harbour. God damn Nickelback fans wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the !$%!%@... I bet they're zombies or something. |

To conclude my argument that nomeansno is the best canadian band ever, I submit this clip from about 1980, when it was just the two Wright brothers...best rythm section in rock! And check out how totally punk they are! Look at John's hair! And that awesome camera work...yeah, BCTV!
