HMV Ultimate Collection - We Are the Same/Tragically Hip

Posted by: Alan Cross | Jul 28 2009 8:00AM



We Are the Same
/Tragically Hip

Is there anything more Canadian than sitting around a campfire with a double-double (or a proper 5% brew) listening to the Hip? Only if you’re wearing hockey equipment at the same time. The Hip became Canadian icons long before this 11th studio album, thanks to a long stream of hit singles, best-selling albums and sold-out concert tours. Sure, we wish America would realize what we’ve got up here in North America’s attic, but at the same time, it’s kinda cool to have one all to ourselves. I dare anyone to “Country Day” and not instantly feel better.

If You Like That:

It goes well with Wilco, Great Lake Swimmers, Kings of Leon.
