Based on Fully Completely, Day for Night, Music @ Work, and radio singles:

40% of that is from Music @ Work, which probably means I should look into more of the later albums.

Sorry, I never listened to this band. Figured if they were any good the good folks at Other Music would have let me know. *ducks*

Although they do get a substantial mention on the Other Music subboard of a Pearl Jam message board.

By which I mean I should have posted on the other Tragically Hip thread.
I can't do this yet because I think I really favour their post-Phantom albums a great deal, and I need to listen to them more to really figure it out. Gord's lyrics get better and better and I like them more as they become less blues and more something-else... "What Blue" is a song I'd take over anything off Fully Completely
"Escape Is At Hand For The Travelling Man" would prob be my #1 tho

"Escape..." reminds me of an indie band from the late 90s but I'm not sure which one. The Dismemberment Plan? Maybe just a general "mid- to late 90s indie rock" vibe?

You're not thinking of Interpol, are you? Their vocalist sounds a lot like Gord sometimes. Always thought so.

for some reason i recall 54-40 having a song similar to the intro of 'escape'

Hm, don't think it was the Plan.

Maybe one of those others.
Broken Social Scene maybe?

this is really hard. fully completely was my intro to them so my list leans pretty hard to that album

I can see a BSS connection in the rhythm section, yeah. Phantom Power turned out to be the first one I bought since the concert. (Already had copies of FC, DfN, and M@W). I've been playing it a lot.

Heard on the radio they pulled a Beatles (or Drake, or whoever): all 17 albums are on Billboard's Canadian album chart. I don't know what that actually means these days, but it sounds impressive.
