    The Rheostatics???? IMO the best Canadian band ever

    (not that I think they necessarily fit your comparisons....but they are a quirky Canadian rock band....who sing about really Canadian things)

    i forget them once i finally see them play at birchmount stadium (home of the robbie).

    ...and somehow i think that's less than likely.

    You again?? Seriously dude, if you hate Canadian music so much, why do you bother to click on these threads?

    The music certainly isn't quirky, but Gord Downie is as quirky as they come. Actually, "crazy as a loon" is a more fitting description, lol.

    I meant the comparison with 'They Might Be Giants'. I don't see it.

    Don't worry about what some say. There's nothing wrong with liking The Hip.

    See them live if you can. I'm sure they play pretty small venues when they ever go over to the UK.

    I can stands no more. I've tried taking your ravings with good humour and even took up a position in your defense at one time. Enough is enough!

    Shitting on the Tragically Hip (and Canadian bands in general) indicates that none of posts are worth reading. I have never, ever done this before so consider it an honour... Welcome to my ignore list.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    Is it "The Odds" that you are thinking of?

    They were kinda quirky
    The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course
