After the showband era, Thin Lizzy was the first great Irish rock band and the first Irish rock group to gain an international following.
Their first chart success was the uncharacteristic Irish folk song ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ (1972) and their major breakthrough came in 1976 with the album Jailbreak, which introduced their distinctive harmony guitars sound.
Despite their success, the band always maintained a capacity for self-destruction and finally split in 1982 under financial pressure and the worsening of Lynott's heroin habit which led to his premature death.

 CD Times - Thin Lizzy
Listening to the compilation, nothing is more obvious than the fact that, when all is said and done, Thin Lizzy where a band terminally restrained by their lack of real talent or artistry.
Lizzy were much more than a pub-rock/metal band, they had far more 'pop' tendencies than any of their peers (that's good 'pop', not 'Pop Idol' pop !), which was reflected in the number of hit singles they had.
That's not to say that Lizzy were devoid of such folly, but it would be pure laziness to simply pigeonhole their talent as 'restrained'.
