SATURDAY NIGHT KANSAS, THE TRAGICALLY HIP.

If one would ask me what song I'd rate quint-essen-tially American, Kansas' Carry On Wayward Son (1976) would certainly be among the candidates.





Impossibly good rock song from The Tragically Hip, Courage, from the 1992 album Fully Completely. Personally, I'd rate TTH Canada's second best rock band (I guess you know who's at no. 1). The Tragically Hip formed in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario. Unlike a gazillion other longlasting bands, their lineup has stayed pretty much the same and consists of Gordon Downie (lead vocals and guitar), Rob Baker (guitar), Gord Sinclair (bass), Paul Langlois (guitar) and Johnny Fay (drums). Other notable hits include Springtime in Vienna and Ahead by a Century.
