They never really made it south of the (Canadian) border.
If interested, I'd say going on your streaming app (assuming you have one) or youtube and start with songs like Blow At High Dough, Little Bones, Three Pistols, Long Time Running, Courage, Fifty Mission Cap, Nautical Disaster, Scared, Ahead By A Century, Fireworks, and Music At Work.
They have other (arguably bigger) hits but I feel the ones I listed above are the most catchy/accessible.
The Hip and Rush.... best Canadian bands ever l and it’s not even close.
Triumph
The Band
The Guess Who (But yeah, The Tragically Hip is DEFINITELY the best Canadian band of all time, and one of the best bands ever in the history of Earth )
My Canadian ex-girlfriend used to try to convince me of this all the time, but she liked such horrible music that I never put much stock into it.
That was the exception to the rule for her I guess! She was right for once, lol.
I once got out of her car and walked about 15 miles back to my dorm (mostly on International Speedway Blvd. in Florida) because she wouldn't change the radio station or just turn it off. I think it was Des'ree that finally pushed me over the edge.
It was get out or grab the wheel and steer us head-on into oncoming traffic. I think I chose wisely.

That is some serious dedication to hating her choice in music. I had a BF for two years who played nothing but European death metal in his car... It stressed me right the fuck out and made me feel like we were always about to get in a terrible car accident, lol, but I just tolerated it anyhow. That's love for ya, hahaha.

Achilles' Last Stand
Especially those middle three (taking nothing away from the 1st and 5th).
Man, you are tough to like.

The Hip were Canada’s House Band... Like Shihad in New Zealand.
Gord and the boys were a national treasure... and we liked it that way. The rest of the world latched on to Nickelback for some reason haha.

(Actually, I lie. I quite enjoyed that thread.)
Edit: And I agree with you completely.
I wouldn't necessarily say they are better than the Hip or Rush, but they're in the samw
dimension as far as I'm concerned.
