Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeTwo Sheds @tdastephen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In any bracket, a #16 seed winning the whole damn thing is pretty wild. I eventually picked Century for my vote, partly b/c I figured that if you stopped 10 people on the street and said "what Hip song wins a 128 seed bracket?" I think most would have said "Ahead By A Century wins it, right?" 131
Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeShannon Proudfoot @sproudfoot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have a weird emotional reaction to this. It’s always been my favourite Hip song, but I also thought it was a somewhat obscure choice. And then it turns out everyone agrees. 3283

Dave Breakenridge @davebreakenridge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026We have arrived at the end of the Tragically Hip Best Song Bracket. Based on your votes the winner is: Nautical Disaster. The Day For Night single defeated Ahead By A Century 89-81. 4202

Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeMichael DeMoor @michaeldemoor.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’s down to 2 and you get a real contrast: Dark, poetic, frankly scary Hip Vs Pop-folk, kind of wistfully sad but basically uplifting Hip. 121

Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeTwo Sheds @tdastephen.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Oh god. I don't know. As more of a rocker, Nautical Disaster maybe is a purer distillation of the Hip. But Ahead By A Century is the one people would recognize in someone's last words, or as poignant graffiti on a wall. 121

Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeJeff @noisysun.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The biggest surprise has gotta be Nautical Disaster -- a very good song, but not typically seen as one of their absolute god-tier tracks.

Reposted by Dave BreakenridgeMichael DeMoor @michaeldemoor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In any single-elimination bracket tournament, there's always one semifinalist that kind of snuck in there as a result of fortuitous match-ups and a kind of unspectacular doggedness.
