Thin Lizzy

A pioneering Irish hard rock band formed in Dublin in 1969, famous for their distinctive twin-guitar attack, poetic lyrics by frontman Phil Lynott, and hits like "The Boys Are Back in Town," blending hard rock with folk, Celtic, and psychedelic influences, becoming a major influence on later metal bands before Lynott's death in 1986, with the name now used for occasional performances of their classic material.
