The Tragically Hip

[hitman5178]

Rock Band seriously needs some Tragically Hip. They are arguably Canada's #1 band. They are great for all instruments and fun tunes to play for parties and get togethers. They are in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Here are some hits that would be excellent for the game:

New Orleans is Sinking
Courage
Poets
Ahead by a Century
Grace, Too
Bobcaygeon
Fully Completely
Gift Shop

[Authentic4]

i totally agree. they have soooooooo many good songs to choose from!

[dogday007]

Amen brother!!!! i tottally agree!!

[swarmster]

A crime that there's only two replies so far. I would add Nautical Disaster and Scared to your list.

And they may be from the Canada of the South (Australia), but how about some Midnight Oil, too?

[CoW_mAn]

Silver Jet and Music At Work would be awesome too

[snugglebunch]

I would download some Tragically Hip.

[mjlambert1]

My Music At Work would be fun to play.

[orangesmoke20]

anything pre-henhouse would be awsome

[MrBartokomous]

How has no one mentioned either Little Bones or Blow at High Dough?

Probably the best pick is Poets, maybe New Orleans or even Fireworks... I can't even choose, they've got too many great songs!

Some Hip in there would definitely be a good plan.

[mrsniper]

Defiantly need some.

Blow at High Dough, Little Bones, New Orleans is Sinking, and Courage would be awesome. Actually, now that I think about it, most of their songs would be pretty fun to play.

[rockgod09]

AUSTRALIANS BOO!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k just had to say that one sec...Sure that be nice I want more TENACIOUS D

[CoW_mAn]

Gift Shop would be cool.

[k-mac]

They stopped playing New Orleans is Sinking for a while on the radio after New Orleans actually sank. Come to think of it, they also stopped playing When the Levee Breaks. Luckily, both returned after a few weeks or whatever it was.

But i digress. New Orleans for sure should be up, and Ahead by a Century too - i'm sure both would be hits at parties.

How's about a Hip track pack for Canada day?

[Ratjar3]

How's about a Hip track pack for Canada day?

If they will have one for Canadians. Since Independence Day is in July 4th and Canada Day is July 1st, That week will be overtaken by the American day.

But I would still download Hip.

I still support this thread :D

[exnihilio13]

Now would be a good time too since they just released their new album "We are the Same" Could promote the first single "Love is a first" in a pack. They are quite big in the States as well too as evidence but their frequent touring. Also hitting Europe fairly often.
Oddly "Love is a First doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere but I found this snippet clip. It's certainly a rockout track with a real good drum beat:http://msfcontent.mqube.us/telus_preview/Ringtone/Prev_MP3long_QCP_PMD_RMF/381357.mp3

Just to further this point of the other tracks for those unfamiliar (Harmonix especially). Bearing in mind some of these vids are from the late 80s and these guys are probably *better* live now than they were then:

And lots more to chose from. Just gotta listen to them to know they'd do well.

This thread needs to be revisted! Hip need to be in Rock Band so how about a Hip pack for Canada Day? Just makes sense lol.

[Sibtiger]

If I were to make a Hip 3 pack, I'm pretty sure it would be New Orleans is Sinking, Little Bones and Locked in the Trunk of a Car. But the game definitely needs songs from them, not just pants named after them.

[milkandcookies]

I would love some Hip. I'm thinking a 6-pack of Bobcaygeon, Love is a First, New Orleans is Sinking, Family Band, The Lonely End of the Rink, and Courage.

[RockGuitarManiac]

I can't believe only one person mentioned Nautical Disaster. It's like their most dark epic song! That aside, RB NEEDS some tragically hip, I think the whole album Road Apples would be awesome as DLC.

[ihitterdal]

This is one band I would seriously enjoy in RB.

[SoFrigginTight]

Definitely require some Hip!

you just named the perfect list of hip songs for this game. the way poets and lock in a trunk pick up and bblend together would be perfect.

[TheStuddz]

I support this thread! Many of these songs would be great on Rock Band. New Orleans Is Sinking would be my first choice, but Fireworks, Locked In The Trunk Of A Car, Blow At High Dough or any of the songs mentioned in the following quote would be awesome.
