New subscriber from the States. Thanks to Canadian radio, I heard these guys as far back as '88. Here's my top 5 ranking. 1< Fully 2< Up To Here 3> Road Apples 4> Phantom Power 5> Day For Night. Think "We Are The Same" is my favorite of the post-2000 batch. There's great stuff on ALL the albums. Great discography review. Would love to see an album-by-album breakdown from you. Any plans for a Sloan discography breakdown?
Cheers, man - great ranking for your top five. They sure have been a rewarding band all these years. I have totally been playing with idea of a Sloan video! They’re a great band for sure, one of my favs to see live. Much like a lot of massive discographies, some LPs require a re-listen from me. I might do some album overviews for The Hip, there’s so much depth to cover especially for a lot of our favourite ones.
I enjoyed your ranking. You’re confirming how I plan to approach this catalogue. I had Up to Here when it first came out and liked Blow at High Dough and New Orleans Is Sinking. But the rest of the songs never really grabbed me. I also found when hearing the popular songs, I couldn’t get into Gord’s vocals. But I feel the time has come to revisit this band and pick up three to five albums. Your top three are my first picks and in the order you ranked them. Then your 4 and 5 will be next. So those five are my picks. Thanks for your video!
Thanks I appreciate hearing from you and I used to be in the same boat; i listened to them on the radio but was never enamoured with a lot of their album tracks. Now I love almost everything they put out especially the first half dozen. Much love!
@@Redundant_underscore nice man! I’ll check some out when I get home and can truly take it all in. That’s great - the only time I saw them they played nothing but hits because it was a festival so I wouldn’t expect anything else but, man, would have loved to see another tour date with some deep cuts such as that one.
Thanks for the ranking! Fun to watch. I lovingly refer to 'We Are The Same' as 'We Are Insane', despite some real affection for The Depression Suite, The Last Recluse and Coffee Girl. :) Every album from the 'Up to Here' through 'In Violet Light' is in a peretual battle for #1 in my head - so, so, so much gold everywhere. My #15 would be 'In Between Evolution', which I just find generally cacaphonous and grating. So interesting to see the different takes in the comments. Thanks all, for sharing your favourites.
‘We Are Insane’ is hilarious. Going to have to start using that. And, yes, I love the diversity of the answers in the comments. That’s what I like most about UA-cam. Since making this video, In Violet Light has been getting the most spins! So much gold in that first decade and a bit as you say! Cheers

Awesome list, very unique compared to a lot I've seen out there (I should talk haha). Phantom Power is great. Yeah, you'll love Saskadelphia. It makes me hope they release more archival stuff in the future, I think they will.

Nice stuff, Andy. I wouldn't argue too much with those rankings, and I agree with the top 3. I'd put Evolution and Up To Here a little higher. We Are The Same is the poorest by a long way, way to dull to be prime Hip.
Yeah it’s tough to rank the hip because they are always so solid (except most of We are the Same for my money), but I’d probably up those two LPs in the ranking these days to be fair. With all the greatest bands, the ranking is always shifting if just minimally. Thanks for the comment!
Great video. While everyone says they are Canada’s Beatles but I think they are more like Pearl Jam. they could sell out arenas without making an album. After their first 3 albums both bands kind off went in different directions. But I also think most Hip fans don’t appreciate those albums as much. Where as PJ fans dig their new stuff a lot more.
Yeah almost every fan I talk to irl hasn't heard anything after the year 2000 or so. Which is a shame, because they made good music until the end. I like the parallels you say between the two, people always say R.E.M. but your comparison makes way more sense.
Fair enough, I'm sure a lot of people feel that way. I like 'em all in some way or another.. except We Are the Same but I know people that love that one.

Much love!
I've ordered Day for Night. Let's see where this first step takes me.@@AndysRambles
Happy Canada Day !! 🇨🇦✌️😎
Thanks. Same to you!!
Nice list! I'd have In Violet Light at 3 or 4, but other than that I love the choices. Great job!
It’s a very solid, consistent one record! I never press skip on it, that’s for sure.
@@AndysRambles - A Beautiful Thing gets my vote for most underrated Hip song.
@@Redundant_underscore love that choice. Wonder if they ever did that one live? At the very least on the IVL tour I hope!
@@AndysRambles - there are live performances of it on YT, so I'm pretty sure they did it on that tour.
@@Redundant_underscore nice man! I’ll check some out when I get home and can truly take it all in. That’s great - the only time I saw them they played nothing but hits because it was a festival so I wouldn’t expect anything else but, man, would have loved to see another tour date with some deep cuts such as that one.
We are the Same and World Container are great. They are both in my top 10 from the Hip!
@@GaryBruyere-f9b nothing wrong with that!
Cool day for night is also my personal favourite probably for some of the same reasons but fully and completely is not far behind either👍😎

Bob rock worked for Metallica, but I didn’t get this Hip album either .
Yeah he’s done some good ones but I don’t know - I feel like he wasn’t such good fit or he took the edge off slightly.
The first album was so so, the next 5 outstanding and after that meh.
Fair enough, I'm sure a lot of people feel that way. I like 'em all in some way or another.. except We Are the Same but I know people that love that one.
