Thin Lizzy
Night Life (1974)
320


The first album to feature Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson features a different sound that fans became acustomed to after the release of Jailbreak. Thin Lizzy dives through many styles here. From the hard edge sounds of "It's Only Money", and "Sha-La-La" to the beautiful overtons of "Dear Heart", and "Frankie Carroll". A certain kind of jazz influence is apparent on the title track, which is probably my favorite song on the album. "Showdown" sounds like it was the theme for some night-time 70's cop show. "Philomena" is a sweet song dedicated to Phil's mother, and the short but sweet instrumental "banshee" is a cool treat. So if you are a big Thin Lizzy fan and you don't have this. Don't miss out on this great album!

Thin Lizzy
Black Rose (1979)
320


A really, really good disc by Thin Lizzy. Mesmerizing guitar work by Gary Moore and Scott Gorham throughout this release. Once again excellent songs penned by Phil Lynott and well above average work by drummer Brian Downy. There is no shortage of excellent songs here and my favorites include "Do Anything You Want to", "Waiting for an Alibi", "Sarah", "Got to Give it Up", and "Black Rose". There is also "Get Out of Here", which is well above average listening. Thin Lizzy never disappoints me, other than the fact that there hasn't been enough material released by them. This disc contains hard rock, slow ballads, and great stories to listen to and there is always the superb musicianship and the twin blazing guitars, which has been a trademark since the Mercury days. Recommended!

1. Do Anything You Want To
2. Toughest Street In Town
