Pretty sure it was Big Shiny Tunes 2, which for those of you who aren't Canadian is a compilation of MuchMusic's (Canadian MTV) big hits of the year. To make Andrew feel better, it had Smash Mouth's "Walking on the Sun" on it.
I'm jealous that Lekkit discovered the Knife so early. Great album, but I'm not from Europe where the Knife is a bigger deal, so I guess my tastes had different things to shape it, like Our Lady Peace and the Matthew Good Band (pretty sure those were the next couple of albums I owned).
