The Official Thin Lizzy Thread
 

I was watching the Live and Dangerous gig today and it struck me how damn good they are and how underated they are too. Starting out with a slight folk tinged Rock and then growing into those infamous twin guitar harmony sounds that were their trademark. In Phil Lynott they had one of the most charismatic frontmen in Rock and his lyrics were pure poetry sometimes.

You would be surprised how many tracks you know even if you think you don't know anything about them. Here is their trademark guitar sound:


Here is a track that was a little from the norm for Thin Lizzy but this really is a classic track:

They were never groundbreaking but what they did, they did so damn well. Classic rock at it's finest.

what's a good album by them?

Jailbreak or Chinatown are solid releases.

thanks :thumb:

Did they have any more tunes with the sax?

No not many at all. They were more of a Rock band and I think that Dancing By The Moonlight may have actually been a solo track for Phil Lynott. I love tracks with Saxophone.

Me too!
It's a shame... That saxophone with their guitar sound is hot.

I've got a soft spot for Thin Lizzy and their cover of the trad. song Whiskey in the Jar particularly.

I love Thin Lizzy! Phil Lynott is a legend and Jailbreak is predictably my favourite album by them :D

A ten track comp here if you are new to them provided by my good self :)
