Finally Thin Lizzy get a decent greatest hits set with 2 CD's. Ok the original single CD's were alright but they had even more good tracks that were missing. I recommend anyone wanting to get into Thin Lizzy or just the casual listener to pick it up

Hmm... I've already got one greatest hits and done actually want any more Thin Lizzy... are the (earlier) albums good? i've always been told that "live and dangerous" is fantastic, but i've always had other albums to buy blah blah...

Your damn right Live & Dangerous is fantastic. It's an album that a lot can manage to like without being a big fan of the band, definately a classic.

As for earlier albums it depends on how early you wanna go. 70-73 was when they were a 3-piece with 1 guitarist (Eric Bell) and played folk rock type stuff, I found it weird and hard to get into in general. Still this was the line up that churned out Whisky In The Jar and Eric Bell is a brilliant guitarist. The early years of the Brian Robertson/Scott Gorham line-up (2 guitarists) I'd say was 74-75 when they released Night Life & Fighting (before their big break with Jailbreak in 76). Night Life is a little weak sounding and more light mellow rock, whereas Fighting is just badass rock with bluesy guitar solos, nice guitar harmonies, good lyrics & tight drumming. It's my favourite Lizzy album

Just found my dad's old copy of live and dangerous, it's pretty damn good! Now i can see why people always said Zwan sound like Thin Lizzy!
