I'm going Jailbreak because it has my two favorite songs: Cowboy Song and Emerald. But I really like when Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed.

Grrrrrrr!!!!! ONLY ONE? Cannot be done! angry

Any album from "Fighting" through "Bad Reputation", along with "Thunder and Lightning" could easily be listed as the band's best. I ended up chosing "Bad Reputation" because I was listening to that one today. However, I just as easily could have chose "Johnny the Fox", "Jailbreak", "Fighting", or "Thunder and Lightning". Then there is "Black Rose"...

see, I told you it cannot be done!

I know what you mean Ult, my 2 favs are always Johnny The Fox and Black Rose, but i've been listening alot to Renegade. Boy is that a fantastic album, an underrated classic. By the way Thin Lizzy is my favourite band ever!!!

I would say THUNDER&LIGHTNING. After that CHINA TOWN, RENEGADE and BLACK ROSE.

This is just cruel!!! angry

I agree with Ult's statements, but would like to add Vagabonds of the Western World and Chinatown! 2 classics from opposite ends of the Gorham/Robertson era that are always either overlooked or slagged!!!

BTW, I picked Johnny the Fox!

A tough one. Im divided by three albums.

Thunder and Lightning
Fighting
Bad Reputation

These are pretty much Flawless albums.

Impressive. You don't hear many fans picking Chinatown as their favorite.

Black Rose is a great album. Gary Moore fit Thin Lizzy well musically, even if he didn't fit in with the band's self destructive lifestyle.

what album would you fans suggest for someone who only has heard dedication, jailbreak and some assorted live stuff? Smile

live and dangerous is the perfect album to get into thin lizzy

Jailbreak is the only album besides Dedication and Live and Dangerous that I have heard by them, so I can only vote for Jailbreak. I do have Johnny the Fox on vinyl though, I should dig that out along with L & D also on vinyl. I have like all of their albums on my want list on LaLa, but you all know how long that could take, just to get one of those Rolling Eyes

Chinatown is the only whole album that I've really gotten attached to; although I like a lot of their other songs here and there. Even though I'm a Gary Moore fan, I just can't get into Black Rose for some reason, even though I've tried.

Jailbreak...the only one I own.

About Chinatown, while there are better songs on other albums, I think that it is a solid album from beginning to end and easy to digest.

Thunder and Lightning is great but I am surprised that it has more votes than some of the 70's releases.

I agree. I love it as well but think it lacked alot of the heart of the 70's releases. Phil Lynott was tired by 1983.

I think that Thunder and Lightning was fueled by a young Sykes. He gave the band a charge, as Lynott and Gorham were beyond burned out by that time. Scott was ready to quit the band, and actually had quit a couple times during the 80's. Phil always convinced him to stay. You have to admit, despite being so burned out from drug abuse, they did go out on top.
