Happy St Patrick's Day! Do you have any Irish in ya? Would you like some Irish in ya? Come hang out with the boys as they discuss the pride of Ireland — the late Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy. They discuss Lynott's personal history and cool magnetism and list their favorite songs and guitar solos. As JoeEDangerously put it, "Thin Lizzy was a rock band's rock band."

The Pod we've all been waiting for…
Getting pretty 'Drinking beer and listening to the classics' in here..
Up next: A deep dive into the life of Kip Winger
Can't we go back to a simpler time when we could do songs about banging underage girls?
Good pole idea
Disagree.
I think my challenge with Thin Lizzy being a Top 10 favorite Yella band is that as much as a I love Jailbreak front to back (almost every song kicks on this record), I never got into their other stuff. I bought Jailbreak in 1997 at Tower Records on the Ave and loved it from the get go, but then I kinda stalled out from there.
I like the U2 as a "hack band" commentary. People that list U2 as their favorite band are suspect.
Maybe they still haven’t found what they’re looking for🤔🤔
I like U2 but yeah having them be your favorite band seems odd and boring. It's fair that Thin Lizzy kind of lacks that same sound and hit ability in their other albums and a lot of them sound wildly different. I think Black Rose and Bad Reputation are the albums most like Jailbreak.
U2 has always been a bit too trying too hard, anthematic with their formula for my taste.
Dancing the Moonlight has a great hook and what not but I haven't been able to find the other stuff I like too much.
U2 started strong then got way too political for me. Loved them in the 80's. After that, so much meh.
I did see their concert at Lumen Field about 10 years ago or so, and I will say it was really good. They do know how to put on a show. Side note: Lenny Kravitz (not Irish) as the warm-up was surprisingly strong.
If I'm listing favorite Irish musicians, I'd probably go Van Morrison, then Thin Lizzy. The list is pretty weak. And no Irish bands or musicians come close to a top 10 overall. Not even a sniff.
They sang plenty of top 10 hits
Wood the blonde
Andrew Strong is a freak of nature.
Better than fucking Bono for damned sure.
I would love Phil singing this song over this instrumental. Hetfield over time sounds a lot like Trey Parker doing an impression of Metallica to me and I can't really take it serious.
