80's Rush or Yes

Good grief, Rush played 'regularly' on the radio? you're kidding! The single over here was Countdown, which by some strange act of witchcraft, managed to chart at No.33, meaning Radio 1's Peter Powell was obliged to play it on the Sunday evening chart show... this was the only time it got played and it promptly dropped through a hole in the floor of popular consciousness...

I'm in Canada, and Rush is mainstream here. If not the biggest name Canadian rock band, it's certainly one of them. I think it's the biggest of the classic rock bands. They have got plenty of media coverage in Canada, and various songs have been in regular rotation on the radio here: Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Working Man, Subdivisions....
