I might give my semiannual (well, usually every couple years) dive back in to Lizzy to see what I'm missing.  They've never really clicked for me (primarily because of Phil's voice) but I LOVE Brian Robertson, and people whose taste I trust really dig them so it's likely a "me" thing.

Here's Chinatown from the Midnight Special.

For someone who never really fit in, Snowy White made two GREAT albums with them.

For whatever reason, Scott Gorham never gets his due.

For anyone interested, I am now loving Jailbreak, Johnny the Fox and Bad Reputation.  All have been a regular part of my listening rotation the last few months.

Fighting will be next, but still loving the above three for now.

Running Back, Warriors, Emerald, Fool's Gold, Old Flame, Killer Without a Cause, That Woman's Gonna Break Your Heart and Dear Lord are all some of my favorites.  :hat :hat

 :tup :tup  Sometimes, we all need just time away and/or a breather.  :coolio :coolio

Back to the tunes, at this point, Thin Lizzy is pretty locked in as my "late to the party" artist of 2023 (6th year in a row I have had one of those!).

Let's slow that roll. :P  Too much to get to first with Thin Lizzy and others, but plenty of time for that eventually.

Oh for sure. You got 4 more Thin Lizzy albums after Bad Reputation.

Johnny the Fox is a fantastic album, one of my favorites of theirs.

Aside from Maiden, I hear lots of Thin Lizzy in KISS music. Not that Kev cares about KISS.   :P

In my attempts to be a less snarky poster, I will resist the urge to take a cheap shot at KISS.  :biggrin:
