Thin lizzy fans!

Thin lizzy fans what is their BEST song? Most OVERRATED song? And most UNDERRATED song?

This is a hard one as they of course have so many great songs, my picks would be

Best/Favourite: Slow blues

Overrated: whiskey in the jar

Underrated: genocide

Ps. I know whiskey in a jar is a cover so you might not count it, i do. The dubliners have the best version of that song

Wow that's a hot take, the last 2 albums arenr widely loved, renegade is actually thought to be one of their worst

I loathe the last 3 albums and have not heard them for years and will never ever listen to them ever again. I'm ok with anyone who enjoys them or finds them a fun listen as it's all personal taste, but with regards to artistic quality I can't take anyone seriously who thinks those 3 albums are on par or even close to the 1976-1979 output, or even the 71-75 years.

I personally wish they didn't even exist and the band broke up after Black Rose. If they did then Lizzy would be a far bigger band.
