Ding!

That's the answer we're looking for....

I recently rekindled my obsession with the Tragically Hip (I'm a homegrown Kingston boy). I could argue that they are the best band in the world (though I could argue that for the Beatles, Big Sugar, Radiohead, and the Smashing Pumpkins, too).

The Tragically Hip is the best band in the world. I believe that. I don't mind if you disagree, because it's mine. I grew up with them. They were featured prominently as I progressed through high school, college, and beyond, and all the events that transpired around that time.

The Tragically Hip is mine.

Bash them if you will; they are invincible; they are gods.
