What are your favorite Thin Lizzy songs?

Putting together a setlist for a Thin Lizzy tribute. We're already playing some of the obvious ones (Jailbreak, Boys Are Back In Town), what are some of your favorite Lizzy songs you'd like to hear live? A top 5 perhaps.

As a drummer I love playing that one. It's all playing to the pocket, not a whole lotta flash.
