I totally agree . He was a great lyricist even if most of their lyrics were about drinkin', brawin', and acting like modern-day, renegade cowboys but hey, they were Irish so, .

...Yet in this country he is only known for either "The Boys are Back in Town" or "Jailbreak" and not great tracks such as "Holy War", "Waiting for an Alibi" or "Black Rose" (Which is criminal in my books!!!)

I know, it IS a shame. They were such a f*cking fantastic band. Live and Dangerous is one of the best live albums of alltime and Bad Reputation is one of my favorite studio albums of any band. I just can't hype this band enough!
