Artist: Thin Lizzy

Best Album: Jailbreak

Worst Album: Thunder and Lightning

#1 Overrated Song: The Boys are Back in Town

#1 Underrated Song; Romeo and the Lonely Girl

Quite easy for Thin Lizzy. Jailbreak is a perfect album. They went through so many lineup and musical changes over the next 7 years that T & L is far and away from their best. The Boys are Back in Town is great but has been heavily overplayed for 4 decades now. Romeo and the Lonely Girl has everything. Guitar solo, harmonies, great lyrics/vocals.

You misspelled Fourth of July. Burden in my Hand is dope though.

Frusciante RHCP is the best RHCP.

I really like ITTOD, it’s a Plant/Jones showcase and I’m all for it. I Iove all the weird synth shit JPJ does and In the Evening is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs. I would probably have to answer Presence or just leave it blank.

I feel like War, Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree were easily their best three albums, “peak U2” if you will. That said, the latter is my least favorite of the three overall but still has some real standout songs.
