Thin Lizzy -- "She knows music...i know music too, you see...."

Good evening Rawkers. Two words: Thin Lizzy.

If you don't know who i'm talking about, forget it. Go to another blog. If you do, here are my thoughts:

"Jailbreak" is one of the best rock songs of all time.... Don't even argue with it because it makes you lame and you're wrong.

One of their best cuts is one of their slowest cuts... "Still in Love With You". It's a beautiful mix of tight, sparse drums, searing leads, great writing and moving vocals that make for a great rock ballad.

Vocalist, bassist and chief writer Phil Lynott was none other than the real freakin' deal rock star. Ridiculously talented, sexy, smart and usually high, this bass player/singer knew what to do with rock and how to work it on stage.

Major guitar credibility with Gary Moore, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson and John Sykes variously sharing six-string duties.

And check out "Cold Sweat" from Lizzy's Thunder and Lightening album -- as heavy and cool as anything else from the genre and the decade.

Bottom line, if you don't know Thin Lizzy you don't know rock. But argue with me if you feel so compelled. But you'd be wrong.....

Go in peace....

G.O.T.
