Would you have guessed in, say, 1991, that the Tragically Hip would go on to contend in that league just below Dylan? (There’s a great MBA case study in The Tragically Hip: how to monetize national idiosyncrasy.) We have all taken sides on two dozen Tragically Hip songs and anointed favourites. The Tragically Hip were shoved into a corrida with other acts that might once have remained regional favourites. Without question, people not yet born when Phantom Power was released have embraced the Tragically Hip with avidity.
