If Lynott has been dedicated a statue in his Dublin, there must be a good reason for it. Phil was a groundbreaking musician, and apart from a couple of albums towards the end (Chinatown, Renegade), Lizzy never released a bad record. Above all, he was a person of immense sensitivity with a teenage life that was certainly not easy. I tend to go against the tide, as I love the first three albums, the ones with the trio, which have a much less hard sound and are more folk/traditional. They deserve to be rediscovered, in my opinion. And Downey, a very underrated drummer on those three albums, gives his best.

Thin Lizzy

Thin Lizzy were an Irish rock band formed in 1969, led by bassist and singer Phil Lynott. They became widely associated with a twin-lead-guitar sound and a blend of hard rock with melodic and Celtic-inflected elements, releasing a run of influential 1970s albums and later heavier early-1980s work before disbanding in 1983.
