People either forget, or aren’t actually aware of Thin Lizzy’s success as a major pop charting act. In a career that spanned the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s, they were one of the first pop/rock crossover bands that featured regularly in the charts but still retained a totally credible hard-rock reputation, long before bands such as Guns ‘n’ Roses and Bon Jovi.
