Thin Lizzy

[binnie]

Thought we should have a thread dedicated to one of rock's finest

So let it rip my friends

[binnie]

Jail break is the best studio record, IMO

Lynott was such a great lyricist, just fanatastic

[binnie]

"Anybody out there with any Irish in 'em? Any of the girls out there who want some Irish in 'em"

'Nuff said

[Cato]

we already have some threads about them...

Me and ol' Aluminium Dave Hendrick at the Phillo statue in dublin. 'Lizzy' are still touring but hell... so were the van halens. Without the main man it's shit pub band stuff.

[binnie]

Cool pic!

The man is a legend!

[flappo]

i love thin lizzy

most underrated rock band ever ?

jailbreak is a masterpiece and so is johnny the fox , chinatown and bad reputation have their moments too

they reckon their last album is real powerhouse metal !

[Terry]

Waiting For An Alibi is my fave.

Phil was brilliant.

Kinda think Sykes should've left well enough alone far as touring under the name Lizzy these days, though. Fucks sake, he was in the band for all of 5 minutes...

[binnie]

Bad Reputation is the most underated album.

Phil's voice is great

And when they had Gorham and Robertson, they were a tour de force!

[Coyote]

Thin Lizzy... One of the few bands who successfully combined hard rock-dynamics, pop-sensibility and story-telling lyrics into one big hairy ball of super-catchy music.

I love 'em. I have everything between "Fightin" and "Thunder And Lightning".

[binnie]

'Yep me too, the really stuff wasn't as strong

I've always listed Lizzy as one of the most underated bands. In terms of talent, I think they were among the very best in rock. A poet as a singer/bassist, and always fantastic guitarists. The songs are phenominal. The albums always cohesive, strong efforts. I can't think of a single album that wasn't good.

It's so crazy to watch documentaries on the band. Phils's mom always talks about how she wanted him to get off smack, and he's show her his arms, to show they were needle-mark free....but she would go into his room at night and see the marks between his toes....

Fucking tragic how this guy, among so many others was a rock-star victim....
