POX: The Tragically Hip

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?

not 90's but it was the first thing to pop into my head.

anyways, my X:

Ahead by a Century
Grace, Too
Courage
Long Time Running
Fifty-Mission Cap
So Hard Done By
My Music At Work
Lionized
Lake Fever
Thugs

(really had a hard time choosing between Thugs, Locked In The Trunk ... , Greasy Jungle and Wheat Kings)

ya i was thinking cause = time by bss

it's got a similar vibe (drums and bass groove)

courage (for hugh maclennan)
wheat kings
fifty mission cap
locked in the trunk of a car
at the hundredth meridian
bobcaygeon
fireworks
nautical disaster
grace too
ahead by a century

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.
