Thin Lizzy

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.
