I recall hearing the following post-1982 Rush songs on FM radio (in SoCal, e.g. KLOS):
- Big Money
- Mystic Rhythms (even used as the theme music in a TV news show)
- Force Ten
- Time Stand Still
- Roll The Bones
- Dreamline
- Stick It Out
When a new album would come out, they would definitely play tracks from them more frequently, but those above seems to have lasted beyond just the "new album" phase.
