Ultimately it is all down to opinion TBF. I compare the overall chants/songs of Hibs fans down the years to what they have to offer and it is like "time stood still" at the PBH. For example, when did Hibs fans originally adopt "Sunshine on Leith" as their unofficial football anthem??? The early 1990s??? That epic 2016 Scottish Cup win v Rangers, one of the the most dramatic Scot Cup finals ever witnessed at Hampden, enlightened a lotta footie people, outwith Scotland, who were observing legions n legions of Hibs fans in the stands impressively "reeling off" one of the great footie anthems in Scotland for the first time and hugely impressed. There were quite a few other vibrant footie chants "piped up" on that historical day, incl the "Hibees Bounce", and it added to that special atmosphere. Hertz fans can't compete with that famous anthem and have nothing even close to that Proclaimers number. Maybe its all down to the type of Hibs fans who show up for big games (in huge numbers) at ER Stadium and elsewhere - they possibly add a different level of atmosphere than other Hibs fans who pick up the match tickets!! I must admit I can't join in on singing "Sunshine on Leith" - too emotive for personal reasons! I try hard to "clear my mind" and sing it, but it aint easy even though I know the lyrics! That's just the way it is - A GREAT SONG, A GREAT FOOTIE ANTHEM and I think it's well up there with the likes of "Walk on", but I'm biased of course.
