Tip of the Hat from Maxim Magazine

Welcome to the 4th post in my never ending quest to get my favorite Band, The Tragically Hip, into Rock Band.

I was all set to post something about how many Juno awards our boys have won, or maybe something about album sales, when a close friend of mine mentioned that Maxim Magazine had given our Boys a tip of the Hat a while back.

I checked out The Maxim website and after a quick search I tracked down their list of 12 essential Road Trip albums. These are in no particular order but check out the company the The Tragically Hip Keep.

A great road trip calls for great road tunes. Here are Maxim’s essentials.

Creedence Clearwater Revival

(A Cover version of fortunate Son is in Rock Band)
The Tragically Hip
Live Between Us

(Put them into rock band.. Please.)

(The recent Funk pack gave way to 1 James Brown song in Rock Band)
AC/DC
Back in Black

(Recived full album recognition with an expantion pack and have 19 songs in rock band)
