@@grrwuff4099 I always speak up for younger people and their new music, but I was in high school in the 80s, and that was a sad, difficult time for me too. I never though rock would die. It hasn't died, but it's gone from mainstream music for sure. A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Howard Jones, nothing wrong with that music, but for a rocker, it was death. Grunge and metal lived on, but they were very narrow genres. My favorite music was gone from the charts, but that meant I had to create my own music. As musicians, it's ok, as long as we don't expect the pop world to like us.

⁠@@beenaplumber8379I respectfully disagree. For example, if you mention, Dancing In The Moonlight, this band should immediately come to a serious music listener’s mind, but it’s not. They instead think of think of King Harvest’s version of a song with the same name but it’s a totally different(literally speaking) and inferior song. 99 out of 100 people stopped on the streets of hipsterville between 40 and 70 would not say “Tin Lizzie” if you asked who sang it. I think the reason that Thin Lizzy’s music is under appreciated is they simply lack an iconic catalog. The Stones have a million b-sides that never get heard on the radio and those songs are top tier songs and the reason they get the accolades. People would buy the album and surprise it has ten great songs on it (see Exile in Main Street). And that’s what separates them from TT. Led Zeppelin has a huge catalog, the Beatles, Grateful Dead, Doors, The Clash, and so on. That’s the difference I believe. Then again, I may not have any idea wtf I’m talking about. 😮

@@iantollefsen343 When I think of Dancing in the Moonlight I think of Grace Vanderwaal. A lot of time has passed, and we move on. That doesn't mean the bands whose deep cuts now elude us went underappreciated. I doubt I would recognize the names of more than 2 songs on any given Stones album either. Everybody knows The Boys Are Back in Town and Jailbreak, many know Whisky in a Jar and Cowboy Song, and others. Thin Lizzy were giants, and people loved them! People knew who they were, and people now at least know they were a major, highly successful rock act back in the day. Do they remember Argent? Golden Earring? Focus? We get old, we forget things, but when we hear the music, we still remember it, and it makes us feel good. Thin Lizzy got the greatest recognition: Packed arenas, high record sales, and heavy airplay on both pop and rock radio. That doesn't happen when a band is underrated. It only happens when they have achieved massive success. In YT comments, people don't mean underrated when they use that word. It either means "I only just learned of them" or "I like them so everyone else should too, or else they're stupid." Often it means "Music was objectively better when I was a teenager," whenever that was. (We weren't all teenagers at the same time, so that can't be objectively true.) It's all usually self-centered commentary, not a true statement that some artist actually did not receive the recognition they deserved. Thin Lizzy was not as big as the Rolling Stones. Go figure. I like them more than I like the Stones, but that's subjective taste. It doesn't mean either deserved more or less credit than they got. It's my taste, which is a much more honest thing to say than they were underrated. I remember the 70s, and I know they weren't. They fell off the charts, quit making music, and Phil died. The critics have moved on.

I love this ...and Debbie...

You know I've watched going back in the 60s this guy I just keep coming back to what a band so underrated the best if you listen to them on a regular basis unbelievable

Would have loved to have seen Phil and Thin Lizzy in their prime. A great voice and band!

My first concert was Thin Lizzy 😁
