I did a quick search for Top 100 Canadian songs and every list i could find included a number of Tragically Hip songs (and they were number one on a lot of these lists)

I'm not going to list all of them but here are a couple i found to hold a little more credibility

It's a pretty complete list and honestly i would be happy with almost all of them making a Rock Band appearance but here are the entries from our boys

1. The Tragically Hip - New Orleans Is Sinking

13. The Tragically Hip - Courage

41. The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon

63. The Tragically Hip - Wheat Kings

69. The Tragically Hip - Ahead By a Century

They are also featured in the "Top 100 Canadian Albums of all time" A book was published in 2007 by Bob Mersereau a long time arts and entertainment reporter for CBC Television.

5. Fully Completely - The Tragically Hip

15. Up to here - The Tragically Hip

21. Day for Night - The Tragically Hip

26. Road Apples - The Tragically Hip

Come on Harmonix, i'm sure part of Rock Band's mission statement is to introduce rhythm game fan's to new music. This is probably the best band that no one in the states has heard of. Introduce them.

July 1st 2010 (Canada Day)

As always let me start with the link to the Rock Band Request Page

The more i look around for Tragically Hip info the more frustrated i get that this band hasn't been given represented in Rock Band.

Don't get me wrong i'm loving everything Harmonex is doing, if i look at my video game shelf it currently holds Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Rock Band Beatles, Lego Rock Band, the AC/DC track pack and Grand theft Auto 4. I've easily spent over 250$ on DLC grabbing at least one track a week. This week we got some more Tom Petty and next week we finally get "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

All of these band are worth representation but take a look at some of the arguments presented in this Blog If we hit July 1st 2010 (Canada Day) and i'm not playing a Hip song in Rock Band i'm going to be very upset. (This is as angry as Canadians get, and notice i'm not apologizing i might loose my citizenship over this.

So 2 years after Rock Band was released let me officially Re-start my grass roots efforts to get my favorite band into my favorite rhythm game.
