goose Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Although i voted for Limelight ,Freewill would probably top my list but i haven't heard it on the radio.I can only imagine if some warehouse workers heard that middle freak out section with the radio blaring it would be 'whats this crap?'.I have been in a store where Zeps Whole Lotta Love mid section came in and people young and old were openly complaining.Radio is for people who like to be in their comfort zone and don't like anything strange or noisy unless its Thunderstruck.(Generally speaking of course)That's why I picked Fly By Night in the poll.

Blue J Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 My favourite Rush "hit" is the tiny cymbal that get "hit" during that pause in Hemispheres Ting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just noticed that none of the hits from RTB are on here. In terms of RUSH, that album was a huge radio success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'd include Dreamline, The Pass, and definitely The Big Money as radio "hits"...but nobody would vote those so... TSOR squeaks by Limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It what makes them special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) TSOR! I so was excited when Rush were due to appear on Top of The Pops back in 1980... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkZyAq5xiK8 Gotta love Flick Colby's interpretation with Legs & Co though...

Carvan Alex Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 None of the above... SUPERCONDUCTOR shoulda have been a hit. That song had Top 40 hit written on it IMO. A radio edit from 5 minutes to 4 minutes would have made it a huge hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Subdivisions, with Limelight a close second. Despite its "success" as a single, New World Man seems terribly out of place on this list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I stuck the In Rio DVD on the other day for the first time in years. New World Man was feckin amazing! Definitely my favourite hit (that afternoon anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerXT Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Was Freewill a hit? Never released as a single AFAIK... It plays on the radio at least a few times a week where I live... it definitely is one of their hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
