Ah... memories from Halloween 1982.
However, I was surprised to hear Honeymoon Suite's "Feel It Again" on AT40 from the spring of 1986. Just goes to show that many Canadian bands from that decade - including Rush - rarely appear on AT40. They were probably bigger in Canada, though. But I already knew that "New World Man" appeared on AT40 for some time now (not way back in 1982, though).
However, Rush did have a top 10 hit with "Closer To The Heart", if I recall.
I still have yet to hear a band or singer from Newfoundland appear on AT40 (and the closest we had were Anne Murray and Sarah McLachlan, who are both from Nova Scotia).
And I do remember "Take Off" quite well. I loved that song way back in the summer of 1982. I rarely hear it nowadays.
Bob & Doug McKenzie also had a Christmas single during the height of their popularity - their rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas is heard more on Canadian radio during Christmas than "Take Off" is played any time of the year!
