Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (1976, Mercury)

I'm sorry. I tried to resist the temptation of St Patrick's Day, but it was unavoidable. If ever there was a record to represent the Irish drinking 'holiday,' this would have to be it. Not only is 'Jailbreak' arguably the finest hard rock album to ever come out of Ireland, it is also a sure sign of the previous night's excessive alcohol consumption to wake and find this one still sitting on the turntable in the morning...

(It's my fault that this wasn't posted on St. Patrick's Day. Sorry friends.) SR
