Okay, since we've Canuck-highjacked this thread for a sec-

UNDERRATED: The Rheostatics. I can't say enough about how great a band they are. Favorites of the Hip as well. I've seen them live more than 20 times and they never bore. Seen the 'Fall Nationals' (Their week as the house-band stint at the Horseshoe in Toronto every year) A band with many sides who raock hard, trip out, and even made a children's album. They also were commisioned by the NFB (National Film Board) to record a soundtrack to a film about the Group of Seven.

The Hip have written some amazing stuff like 'Nautical disaster', and 'Vaccination scar' that I really like. But to me, the gems are few and far between. I totally respect anyone else's tastes though. It's your right.

As to the Decemberists, I've never heard them on rock radio in Ontario.
That, of course, is no statement of popularity.
