Thin Lizzy

Most people might only know the Irish rock band as the outfit with which Gary Moore played a few tasty solos in the seventies, but Thin Lizzy is much more than that. Fronted by the charismatic bass player and singer extraordinaire Phil Lynott, they became famous for mixing together Irish folk music and hard rock. The dual-guitar harmonies of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson inspired a whole generation of virtuosos.
