3	The second studio album from Canadian ProgressiveRock band Music/{{Rush\|Band}}, released on February 15, 1975 through Creator/MercuryRecords. ''Fly by Night'' is notable for two big things: The band changing their sound from the standard Rock fare of their debut album, and bringing in a little drummer by the name of Neil Peart. As such, the album is the first major GrowingTheBeard moment in the band's discography; the influence of Music/LedZeppelin and Music/DeepPurple is still obvious on this album, but the band is already beginning to establish a bit of its SignatureStyle here, particularly on the epic "By-Tor & the Snow Dog". Peart would later come to regard some of his lyrics on this album as an OldShame, however (notably "Anthem").

28	!!Tropes
29	* Myth/ClassicalMythology: One need merely look at the movement titles to see that it is an influence on "By-Tor & the Snow Dog".
30	* EpicRocking: "By-Tor & the Snow Dog", the band's first song to crack the 8-minute mark. "In the End", at 6:51, also qualifies.
31	* HeavyMithril: "By-Tor & the Snow Dog" and "Rivendell".
32	* NameAndName: "By-Tor & the Snow Dog".
33	* SelfReferentialTrackPlacement: The last song of the album is called "In the End".
34	* SongStyleShift: "In the End" opens with an acoustic segment before transitioning to a hard rock style.
35	* UncommonTime: {{Lampshaded}} by the movement title "7/4 War Furor". Peart's willingness to play in unusual meter signatures may have been one of the things Lee and Lifeson liked about him; their first drummer, John Rutsey, hadn't been so fond of them.
