1. Boys Are Back in Town.....Once upon a time this was my number 1 song ever. I still dig it.
2. The Cowboy Song.....Without a doubt, a great song in rock history.
3. Jailbreak.....Not to be confused with AC/DC's Jailbreak. An outstanding tune, none the less.
4. Waiting For an Alibi.....Phil Lynott was one of my favorite musicians...and it's this stuff.
5. Whiskey in the Jar.....One of their identifying cuts. Metallica rocked it a little harder.
6. Don't Believe a Word.....Lynott was a decent singer too. Evidence is right here.
7. Angel From the Coast.....The guitar play stands out on this one.
8. Running Back.....One of the reasons the "Jailbreak" album is so popular.
9. Johnny.....Solid bass guitar from the album with outstanding art work. "Johnny the Fox".
10. Bad Reputation.....It's just hard driving rock song.
11. Rosalie.....Could have ranked it in top 10. It's that good.
12. The Rocker.....The Rocker rocks out!
13. Emerald.....Lyrically sound with blazing guitar riffs though out.
14. Cold Sweat.....A sweaty favorite among Lizzy fans.
15. Do Anything You Want to.....The last pick wasn't easy. The hits have dropped off. But this is a catchy track to end with.
UNDERRATED SONG: Warriors.....This song deserves a bit more respect. It's right smack in the middle of "Jailbreak".
OVERRATED SONG: Dancing in the Moonlight.....While Phil Lynott vocals are top notch, I just don't care for the tempo. Sort of ashamed as a fan I don't like it a lot.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: Broken Dreams.....I'm picking it for the great bluesy sound and feel it has. Throw on a headset and give it a chance.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: 1976 was a stellar year for rock albums, and this band had some decent records. But nothing they ever recorded beats "Jailbreak".
