Thin Lizzy broke all kinds of societal and musical standards and expectations during their highly successful career. A multiracial band hailing out of Ireland in the late sixties, during a time of major political, religious, and societal tensions, Thin Lizzy managed to transcend many obstacles presented against them during their time. Known for their intuitive soulful sound fused with heavy rock and blues, Thin Lizzy accomplished a rare unification of both music and message with their work.
