THIN LIZZY

Thin Lizzy is one of the most influential bands of the 1970s, with a line-up that has constantly evolving, to include some of the best rock guitarists in the world.

The band was formed and fronted by bass player and lead vocalist Phil Lynott, along with drummer Brian Downey in Dublin, in 1969. Lynott wrote most of the songs on the band’s 12 albums and was also the first black Irish musician to gain commercial success. Thin Lizzy didn’t follow many of the other bands of the 1970s in terms of overblown songs and production; instead the writing tended to be concise, dealing with everyday life issues and usually on the shorter side compared to many of their contemporaries. You won’t find too many 15-minute prog rock songs on a Lizzy album!
