This week we’re discussing our top 5 most underrated albums we’ve covered on the show. Not only do we feel each of these records are great in their own right, but we’re also outraged that they don’t get the credit and attention they deserve. These are names we’re all familiar with like the Beastie Boys and White Zombie, but chances are you haven’t heard these albums.

This week we dissect arguably one of the most important Irish bands in history. While most of you know Thin Lizzy because of the hits, they have more amazing songs than we could count—hence the two hour episode. Phil Lynott’s unmistakable voice and songwriting hold up fantastically after all these years and we had an awesome time diving into each album. There’s no better band we could’ve chosen to celebrate our 50th episode. Holy balls, we’ve done 50 episodes of this insane podcast. Wild. Thanks to everyone who’s supported, we’re not stopping just yet.
Closing track: “Roisin Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend” from Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979)
