Thin Lizzy had very good quality musicians. The Guitars were powerful yet understated at the same time, that takes a lot of skill to do. Phil's vocals and Bass playing was very under rated. Drummers are always overlooked yet hold it all together and also drive the Rock forward. Thin Lizzy or Tin Lizzy were a very cool Rock Band.

Probably the only band I know of that got even better as they went on. They did an outstanding concert at the Hammersmith Odeon with John Sykes on guitar. Sadly Thin LizZy couldn't quite hold it together for whatever reason and in early 1986 Phil passed scuppering any realistic hopes of a reconciliation and reunion. Yea I know some of the other members have got back together again and in fairness done a cracking job. But it ain't quite the same without Phil.
