Page "Rush (band)" Paragraph 12

Rush's popularity reached its pinnacle with the release of Moving Pictures in 1981.

Moving Pictures essentially continued where Permanent Waves left off, extending the trend of highly accessible and commercially friendly progressive rock that helped thrust them into the spotlight.

The lead track, " Tom Sawyer ", is probably the band's best-known song with " Limelight " also receiving satisfactory responses from listeners and radio stations.

Moving Pictures was Rush's last album to feature an extended song, the eleven-minute " The Camera Eye ".

The song also contained the band's heaviest usage of synthesizers up to that point, hinting that Rush's music was shifting direction once more.

Moving Pictures reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart and has been certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
