Thin Lizzy had more to offer besides "The Boys Are Back In Town", Such as the albums "Black Rose", "Thunder & Lightning" and the awesome live album "Live And Dangerous".
Phil Lynott, IMHO, was a song writer on par with Bruce Springsteen & Bob Dylan...So what the music Lizzy made was more rock than Bruce/Bob his lyrics were always way-a-head of the times. Plus he always had great guitarists in Lizzy such as Gary Moore (Who in an older interview I have told he bought his first ever Gibson Les Paul from one Peter Green...Who he saw as his mentor!), Scott Gorham, John Sykes, Eric Bell & Brian Robertson
RIP Phil Lynott...
