Rush's Fly by Night was named one of Toronto's top 50 rock songs of all time by Post City Magazine. Here's what they had to say about it:

"Fly by Night" RUSH - it all began with the hiring of legendary drummer Neil Peart, who replaced John Rutsey for the band’s second album and helped take the Willowdale group to dizzying heights of musical complexity.

There are also 2 accompanying articles by Rush friend and Rheostatics co-founder Dave Bidini where Dave describes the contributions of both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson to rock music. Thanks to Power Windows and RushFanForever for the heads up.
