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)
