You Forgot it in People, along with Stars- Heart, got me into this whole Canadian indie scene.

PLUS, this song has one of my top five riffs of all time.

 

The self-titled will always have a special place in my heart because it was one of the first albums my wife burned for me when we started dating.

 

I feel like you should've included Bee Hives in this poll.

 

1. You Forgot It In People- The single most important indie rock record for me. It encapsulates everything I loved about the indie boom of the aughts. When I first heard it it was unlike anything I had ever heard. It felt impenetrable at the time (which seems crazy now). It opened up my ears to a whole new style of music that was about to boom. Peeling back the layers over the years it is such a great pop album that takes so many chances. It meanders just the perfect amount as it hops styles. And the big ones are mammoths. Anthems, Almost Crimes, Cause=Time, and Lovers Spit are indie rock canon.

2. Broken Social Scene
3. Hug of Thunder
4. Forgiveness Rock Record
5. Bee Sides
6. Feel Good Lost


Let’s Try the After sounds great.

 

I have so many memories attached to You Forgot It that every album after unfortunately could never compare. Easy choice.

 

Kinda surprised by how few responses this has

 

Same here. I feel like it's a lot more one-sided than these usually are, too.

 

I feel like I’m getting too old for this site haha. One of the tent pole bands of the 00’s barely registers around these parts.

 

Incredible band with an incredible discography. I think BSS is my favorite just because I return to it the most, though I like all the others for different reasons including Bee Hives, the solo records, and the EPs.
