jmac Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey Guys! I was listening to the radio the other day and they played Ghost of a Chance, and I was thinking, I never heard this song on the radio before, and that it could be the deepest cut from the boys I have heard on the radio. What are the Rush songs you guys have ever heard on the radio? I have heard 1. Tom Sawyer 2. Subdivisions 3. Limelight 4. Spirit of Radio 5. Freewill 6. Closer to the Heart 7. 2112 Overture, Temples of Syrinx 8. YYZ 9. Red Barchetta 10. Working Man 11. Fly By Night 12. Lakeside Park 13. Caravan 14. Far Cry 15. The Larger Bowl (once) 16. Presto (once) 17. Ghost of a chance (once) 18. Roll the bones (once) 19. The Trees 20. Distant Early Warning 21. Time Stand Still 22. The Body Electric (once) 23. The Big Money 24. Malignant Narccisism (once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer J Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The local classic rock station here played Bastille Day on July 14th. Thought that was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUP1771 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 - Tom Sawyer - Subdivisions - Limelight - Red Barchetta - The Spirit of Radio - YYZ (live) - Freewill - Working Man - Distant Early Warning - By-Tor and the Snowdog - Entre Nous - Manhattan Project And I'm not kidding about the last 3. I was driving back from the Buffalo area in NY with my Dad, when I was flipping through the channels. I found a song that sounded awesome, but had no vocals, at least at that point. I'm listening, and listening. My Dad spoke up and said, "This is RUSH!" I said that it couldn't be. There's no way they would play a track that sounded like it was from their earlier albums. I came to the conclusion that it was Led Zeppelin. Then, the vocals kicked in with Geddy Lee. I said, "Oh...whoops" It was By-Tor and the Snowdog. I would have knew the song instantly by the vocals, but I haven't heard the entire song at that point in time, so when they were in the instrumental jam section, I wasn't sure if it was them or not. It actually sounded like it was from their first album, but the drumming was so complicated, and Neil Peart-esque, so I ruled it out as being Rush. I figured it was Keith Moon on the drums, so that led me to thinking it was Led Zeppelin. After that song ended, Entre Nous came on. I was shocked that a radio station was playing gems that radio normally doesn't air. Then Manhattan Project came on. I was saying, "This is my radio station!" My Dad and I determined it was a radio station in Canada running a marathon of Rush songs. As we drove further away from Buffalo eastbound, we lost signal, so our theory about the station being Canada is a pretty safe bet. I wish we kept the signal. I was curious what else they would have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Where is Dreamline on your lists? I've heard that tons on radio. They must be good to Rush here in Indy. At least back in the day. I've heard too many to list. Every time a new record came out I would hear even some of the deep cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Working Man Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer (more than any other) Limelight Freewill Subdivisions Dreamline (a couple of times after RTB came out) and... it seems like I probably heard these too, but I can't say for sure... Time Stand Still Force Ten Stick it Out (probably probably) Red Barchetta Fly By Night The Trees maybe a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Caravan and BU2B were played quite a bit after those songs were released on the local Rock station. Almost never hear them any more... almost always one of these: Tom Sawyer Working Man Fly By Night TSOR Freewill Limelight Red Barchetta 2112: first 2 parts Subdivisions Dreamline Many others that are more rare to hear.

danielmclark Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I should note - all the songs I mentioned were heard on the radio back when Houston HAD A FKING ROCK STATION. We've got nothing but "The Buzz" now, which is probably exactly as "The Buzz" station you've likely got in your market - new pseudo-alternative with the occasional Metallica track thrown in to appease the rock fans. It's either The Buzz or it's one of the two classic rock stations, neither of which play any Rush other than The Big Three: Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and Working Man.

youngoldman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Here in Augusta, Ga., when it was Alex's b'day, the djay acknowledged this with a "deep cut". They played "New World Man". Not a bad song, but not exactly highlighting Alex's prowess, I could tell the dj didn't know much Rush. I thought about calling and getting them to play "La Villa", it is a masterpiece of music and Alex shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 People still listen to the radio huh? Can't remember the last time I listened to the radio, except talk. Otherwise a CD is always in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I've obviously heard all of the standards and some deep cuts on 'The Boneyard' station on Sirius radio. Two songs that I will always remember hearing on commercial radio: 2112 in entirety (in 1996, driving back from New Orleans where I attended the Sugar Bowl. It was about 4 in the morning and I still had an hour drive to get home. I also had to make it into work on time at 8am. Being the wee hours of the morning, I was getting drowsy. When 2112 came on, I was instantly awakened, energized, and ready to go) The Necromancer in entirety. This was on a local college radio station during the summer (1992 or 1993) when most students were home. I called up one night and requested it. Sure as heck, they played it.

ColdFireYYZ Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 XM plays a ton of Rush songs. Along with the hits I've heard: 2112 (entirety) Red Sector A Distant Early Warning Nobody's Hero The Big Money Lakeside Park Countdown (just heard it this morning) Red Barchetta By-Tor and many more. The commercial radio stations also play quite a few Rush songs, but they mostly stick to the standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Just Tom Sawyer, Spirit of the Radio, & 2112 Overture on Sirius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESO9 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A station KSHE 95 used to play 2112 in it's entirety when I was a kid and a lot of epic Rush songs. But since Clear Channel took over I think it's basically just the obvious FM radio friendly tunes played now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 My local radio station used to play Moving Pictures a lot, now they only play Tom Sawyer and Ghost of a Chance from time to time, as in, almost never. They had a bit of a boom when rush came to town, but they pretty well stuck to the same two songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndseyG Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Don't get much of a chance to hear rock radio, but recently I heard BU2B, The Pass and La Villa Strangiato in its entirety. I was in hog heaven when I heard the last one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malignant Narccisism (once) Here in Phoenix we have KDKB 93.3 Fm ( Free Radio since 1971 ) They are great with RUSH ! They have played ALL these listed & more . . . . . For a while about 7 yrs ago, our "Classic" rock Station quit playing RUSH, I found out cause I just randomly called the station to request RUSH & that's when they told me the New program director was saying there was NO catagory for Rush, hence NO place for them on KSLX, so I called a couple more times & the DJ's were very frustrated also ! Took about 1 year for them to start playing Rush again, but they only play a handful of classics. But, KDKB, sometime's once an hour you hear RUSH ! !

On TheRoad To Adventure Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 These are the Rush songs we hear here. 1. Tom Sawyer 2. Subdivisions 3. Limelight 4. Spirit of Radio 5. Freewill 6. Closer to the Heart 7. Red Barchetta 8. Working Man 9. Fly By Night 10. In the Mood 11. The Trees 12. Distant Early Warning 13. New World Man 14. Time Stand Still (twice) 15. The Big Money (once) 16. Superconductor (twice) I believe Time Stand Still is the newest I've ever heard on the radio. And yes, some of us do listen to the radio - my old car doesn't have a CD player, and satellite radio costs an arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
