That One Guy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 What Rush do you hear on the radio? I'm in SLC and there's maybe 3 stations that put them in the loop. Last night we were driving around and my friend wanted to hear Working Man. It wasn't on any CD in my car. An hour later Working Man pops up on the radio. Later we start some shenanigans and Freewill comes on. When Rush came to town last August... You've never heard so much Rush on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I haven't tuned into the local rock station for a few months, but when I used to listen to it frequently (last summer-fall), they would rarely play Rush and when they did, it would be, in order of play frequency: In the Mood (90% of the time), Ghost of a Chance (5%), Tom Sawyer (5%) Edited February 19, 2011 by usb_connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Tom Sawyer many, many times. And, once each that I've heard, CTTH, Working Man, Limelight, and I think TSoR came on once. So basically Tom Sawyer all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zogoto Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I don't listen to the radio very much, on occasion I'll catch Tom Sawyer, Freewill, or Spirit of Radio. Once I did hear all of 2112! A story about this though: The drive from Mountain View is about two hours. During our trip back after seeing Rush, I ended up falling asleep. I awoke and the radio was tuned to the local rock station, and Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd are my favorite band, Rush second) was just ending. What came next? Red Barchetta followed by Tom Sawyer. Pretty good series of songs, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i'm going bald Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Dont listen to much radio other than the local station in the car to & from work . Not yet heard any Rush on there though ! In the seventies this sort of music could be heard on a number of stations in the UK My favourite show was The Friday Night Rockshow on BBC Radio One. Tommy Vance was the DJ. Loads of great stuff. Those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some great rarities around the time of the last tour though. It is so funny, but you can hear a Rush song a million times and then all of a sudden it is on the radio and you get all excited and turn it up.

Cosy Toes Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 On Planet Rock in the UK I've heard songs from every Rush album I've even heard "Roll the Bones" and "the Pass" On Radio 2 Ken Bruce plays "The Spirit of Radio" every now and again, mainly on days when he's having prostrate trouble...

I remember hearing The Trees one time on the radio a few years ago, a good song but not one of my favorites, and I just about jumped out of my seat in the car since it NEVER gets played. Same thing one time when Overture/Temples of Syrinx was played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I don't listen to radio too much anymore at home but when I hang out at my friend's sub shop downtown the radio station he has on all the time plays Closer to the Heart a lot. Pretty much every time I'm there. Also TS of course is played tons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also from around that area But anyway, I've actually heard some stuff other than Tom Sawyer. Limelight, The Spirit of Radio, Closer to the Heart, Fly By Night and I actually heard Working Man once on some odd station but I have to agree, its been mostly Tom Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
