Thin Lizzy-Fighting (1975)

In 1975, Thin Lizzy focused exclusively on energetic and powerful hard rock, abandoning their eclectic funk rock and blues rock style with the album "Fighting". This album solidified their place among British, European, and North American audiences, thus beginning their golden era. On this fifth album, the band, led by bassist and singer Phil Lynott and supported by guitarists Scott Gorhan and Brian Robertson, along with drummer Brian Downey, crafted what would soon become the distinctive sound of the iconic Irish group. Songs like "Rosalie", a brilliant cover of Bob Seger's original, and thunderous hard rock anthems such as "For Those Who Love To Live", "Suicide", "Fighting My Way Back", and "Ballad of a Hard Man", share the stage with more melodic tracks like "Wild One", "King's Vengeance", and "Spirit Slips Away", all sharing a clear common thread; the powerful sound of Gorham and Robertson's twin guitars.
