Some think their music represents Canada but people I know of my parents age mostly know the group by reputation and they mean little or nothing to them.

Their artists were the Guess Who, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, etc, and its hard to argue those.

They're a good group, I'm just not sure who elected them to be canada's group and why we should agree with it.

Are you saying that different generations have different views on & tastes in bands.....

There will be another group that replaces The Hip are some point.
