I spent years in cover bands playing bars, you could not get away without playing at least 2 Tragically Hip songs each night. I remember tiring of them after playing Blow at High Dough and Little Bones for the thousandth time, then they released Fully Completely and I really enjoyed doing Courage and Locked in the Trunk of a Car. Great grooves, strong riffs and of course, Gord put them over the top.
Being a Canadian we might have been overexposed to them slightly but they really are a great band with incredibly written songs. One of those proud Canadian moments, when they played SNL and Dan Aykroyd introduced them.
