Gordon Lightfoot might be the only performer who can touch the Hip for a "yup, that's Canadian" vibe. This announcement is tough, because Gord Downie isn't just a great singer, but a piece of Canadiana. And while I haven't cared too much for their recent stuff, there are very few bands out there who put out four incredible albums back to back to back to back the way they did in the early 1990s.
