One of the best bands of the 70's was Thin Lizzy. It's just a shame that U.S. radio only really gave 2 of their songs much airplay, because there's a hell of a lot more to Thin Lizzy than, "The Boys are Back in Town," and, "Jailbreak.
Like, for instance...
For my money their Jailbreak, Johnny The Fox, Bad Reputation, and Thunder and Lightning albums are, "Must Have's," for anyone who likes hard rock with a bit of diversity of styles.
They were just a brilliant band, and it's a real shame that bandleader Phil Lynott died so young (as the band was planning on getting back together).

Anyone?
Seriously, Thin Lizzy was a great band - and criminally underrated in the U.S.

I Love Phil & The Boys. My favorite tracks are : Chinatown, Waiting For An Alibi, Don't Believe A Word & Emerald. I dare anyone not to acknowledge that without Thin Lizzy to pave the way, U2 would be finding it that much harder to stay up there.
BTW all those albums you mentioned are classics. To check out Phil Lynott's diversity, check out his work on Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds concept album!

Was fortunate to see Lizzy a couple of time in the 70's and always an amazing hard rocking, high energy event.
His music ranged from the hard rocking "The boys are back" to "Rosalee" to "Solo in Soho"....
and @roadrat....His Nathaniel preacher voice is a perfect balance to Julie Covingtons crystal clear tones.
His death is a great loss. W.
