This Day in Music History: Rush/Permanent Waves (01/14)

On this day in 1980 Rush released their seventh studio album, Permanent Waves. It became Rush's first US top five album, hitting #4 on the Billboard 200, and their fifth gold (later platinum) selling album. 

The album marks a distinct transition from long, conceptual pieces, into a more accessible, radio-friendly style and consequently, a significant increase in record sales for the band. The singles "The Spirit of Radio" (#51) and "Freewill" (#109) both received significant radio airplay.

My fave: "Entre Nous" (#110)
