Am I the only one who likes Thin Lizzy
The band and members are legendary, yet I see so little about them. Thin Lizzy is more than "The boys are back in town," and "Jailbreak" - listen to Chinatown, or any live version of Still in Love With You, or Cowboy Song, or Emerald....
The Line of musicians rivals any great band, Gary Moore, Phil Lynott (who was Thin Lizzy - God Rest His Soul), Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Brian Downey, Tommy Aldridge...and the list goes on. Not going to go off the deep end here, but does anyone else think that these guys aren't getting their due?

I became obsessed w/ Thin Lizzy when I first saw them at the age of 14. It was the Summer of 1979 at the Miami, FL Jai-Alai Fronton. They were supporting their "Black Rose" album at the time. They had opened up for Journey during the "Evolution" tour. It was one of the earliest concerts I had attended and it still stands out as one of my most memorable. I own the entire Thin Lizzy discography to this day on vinyl & CD. Songs like "Warriors", "Fight or Fall", "Don't Believe a Word", "Massacre", "Bad Reputation", "Killer Without a Cause", "Chinatown", "The Rocker", and their "Live & Dangerous" album all are part of the VERY extensive soundtrack to my youth.

Yes that is very ironic that he just died! I am definitely going to have to give those songs that you mentioned a good listen. I am one of those who only knows their hits unfortunately!

Jesus, and right after I post this....I can't believe Gary Moore is dead - tragic loss, probably one of the most under appreciated guitar greats - blistering blues was his trademark. Gary will surely be missed
