Phil Lynott bildade Thin Lizzy i slutet av 1960-talet. 1971 kom debutplattan. Därefter följde några plattor som var bra, men något ojämna. Det glimrade till litet extra med "Fighting" från 1975 och året efter släpptes den underbara "Jailbreak", som var den första i en fyrklöver av klassiker som kom i följd. På "Jailbreak" föll allt på plats. De berättande texterna, gitarrduellerna mellan Scott Gorham och Brian Robertson och Lynott's sång sitter som gjutna. Thin Lizzy har hamnat i hårdrocksfacket, men borde egentligen ligga i en egen kategori. Visst finns det hårda låtar, men de romantiska och lugna låtarna är lika mycket en del i denna grupps stil. "Jailbreak" är i sanning en av de stora rockplattorna.
