The Spirit of Radio
"The Spirit of Radio" is a song released in 1980 by Canadian rock band Rush from their album ''Permanent Waves''. The song's name was inspired by Toronto radio station CFNY's slogan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spiritofradio.ca/index.asp )〕 The song was significant in the growing popularity of the band. The band had grazed the UK Top 40 two years earlier with "Closer to the Heart", but when issued as a single in March 1980, "The Spirit of Radio" soon reached #13 on the UK singles chart. It remains their biggest UK hit to date (the 7" single was a 3:00 edited version which has never appeared on CD to date).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Rush-Spirit-Of-Radio/release/1144431 )〕 In the U.S., the single peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980, and in 1998 a live version of the song reached #27 on the Mainstream Rock Charts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=January 4, 2014 )〕 "The Spirit of Radio" was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll, Rush's only such entry. The song was among five Rush songs inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame on March 28, 2010.
Promotional 12-inch copies were released in the United States late 1979 with the B-sides of "Working Man" and "The Trees", and the song being incorrectly titled "The Spirit of the Radio".〔(Rush-vlaanderen.com )〕
